The Game Master - Large groups.

Large Groups.

There is just no stopping them sometimes, but, at some point You have to draw the line.

Handling such large Games is becoming an increasing challenge, I myself have had upto 14 players at one game and yes it was chaos. I just cannot say NO to people who want to enjoy a great game.

So, they take their turns then. They go about their own conversations until their turn comes around again and even the older players are no better. What to do then; do I say to the group its time to divide again, well yes ofcourse it is and that time is soon.

Large groups can work but I have found that if there isnt enough help from the players then it never will work.

If you have an idea how to control a group of over 8 players then I'd love to hear from you.

I have one way of controlling a large group - Just shoot one of them (preferably a large, noisy one!) and that will make the others quieten down and pay attention!

There you go - I've just solved two problems! :)
