What size groups are you most comfortable DMing for?

[Asmor]

That would be correct, Woas, do not count yourself... I mean, unless you're really into your DMPC

 

[Ahnehnois]

I've run 1 PC sessions and 10 PC campaigns, but I have to say that beyond 5 or so just makes my head hurt, and having less than 3 really takes a lot out of the game. Currently I have 3, which is great.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

I've done games with everywhere from 1 to 6 players. I think I enjoy the larger groups more, and I'd probably be fine with more than 6 players, but that's the most I've ever had at one time.

 

[HellHound]

Depending on the game, I'll run up to 6. Never more. I prefer 3-4.

 

[Hussar]

I really like 5 or 6. It means that if Jim and Barb can't come this week, you can still game with no problems. When I played with only 3 or 4, invariably someone would cancel and sessions would go down the tubes.

 

[DragonLancer]

5 is my max comfort level. After that I find the game starts to bog down too much.

 

[Crothian]

At least once a year I DM for as few as one and as many as 8. More then that I'm not happy with but I can do that. I think 4-5 is a good sweet spot.

 

[shilsen]

5 is my ideal number, but anywhere from 1-6 is okay with me.

 

[Vague Jayhawk]

I put 3-4-and 5. I currently have seven players in one of my games with an eighth wanting to join. It is great that I have an assistant dm. Otherwise it would be way too many for me to handle.

 

[Phlebas]

I did a group of 11 at a university club - never again

4-6 is the ideal - i like player-player interaction and since my normal group is a group i've known for a while its easy enough to keep them all involved
