Message: <blockquote data-quote="steeldragons" data-source="post: 5788197" data-attributes="member: 92511">I'm with Lanefan that the poll needs to differentiate between # of Players and # of PCs.My two longest running/best groups were:7 players, +DM, with between 8 and and 12 PCs. Sometimes, limited amounts of time, players might come and go so the group might rise up to 8 players or 10, but the PC count remained, basically in the 9 or 10 to 12 range (only long time, dependable players were permitted, or ever wanted, to run multiple PCs.)and the other was 3 players +DM, that went up to 4 players (when I joined the group). Only 4 to 6 PCs there. The DM of that group usually ran a PC(DMPC) of his own...but each player only ran a single PC.Personally, I like DMing groups of 6-8 PCs. So if that means I only have 3 or 4 players, then people are going to be welcome to run 2 PCs (I usually tend to advise against more than 2) and I can/will fill in the unused spaces with NPCs...who may, eventually, be taken up by additional players after a time...or used when their PCs die or go on sabbatical or something.So...for the purposes of a "Poll" answer: I'm going to go with, ideally, a range of 5 to 7 players with 5-8 PCs.  --SD</blockquote>
