[QUOTE="Fabio Andrea Rossi, post: 5287683, member: 67378"] In my experience, this is the most important factor to determine the number of players a game system performs better with. That, and the complexity/tactical depth of combat in games where combat is core. We are gaming WFRPG 2ed with 7 players and it runs wonderfully system wise, the same was true back then when we played OD&D. We did play 4E in 7+ DM for one year and half, and it simple requires too much time for combats and brings too many combos with the powers, this is why, I think, a smaller number of players is suggested. That aside, I agree that running for 4-5 people is the best, but this really depends on the players: if the game system is quick, you can play with 7 or more people if the party members are the right ones, if the quieter members are fine with getting less direct sun and if the DM is a good one. Many if, I know, but these are IFs that work wonders for our Friday nights :) [/QUOTE]
