Really? I know that too large a group for us is beyond 8 (yeah, we have a
solid group so big we split *somewhat* over two different nights). Our
average is 5-6, not counting the GM for the game.

We like to use the smaller groups for "really goofy stuff" and the larger
groups for the truly serious games ourselves. Granted, a few of the smaller
games have been *WAY* too serious at times, but that's just how it is I guess.

Of course, last weekend's run into Kuala Lampur (sp?) was a trip and a half...
