Hi all, I'm just getting back into SR and was wondering what the typical group size is out there. I come from the D&D world mostly where 4-5 is pretty much the best size. I've recently bought a bunch of modules on ebay and most of them say 4-8.
I haven't delved much into relative power levels but it seems combat can get very deadly (especially for the players) if both sides are of equal number and ability. With a smaller group (say 3-4), they will be outnumbered almost all the time if the modules are run as-is. Anyway, I'm just wondering what the typical group size is and if anyone has any advice is the group is a little on the small side. Thanks! |
