How many is a good number of runners in a game? I really like how easy it is to add and remove runners (aka. write them into and out of the story) if somebody new shows up to play or somebody can't make it to a session, but there is a point where the game starts getting unmanageable because of how many people are playing.
In my opinion: Too Few Runners - 2 or less Too Many Runners - 7 or more Just the right amount - 4 or 5 What do you guys think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) |
