By the way Twin, if you're concerned about workload and such, I could help co-GM, and we could run two different parties of six (or three of four, etc)

[Twinwolf]

People seem to overestimate how much a co-GM helps, at least according to some people who do it. I'll keep it in mind, regardless, and thanks for the offer.

[Sl4cker]

also
get on discord pls ;-;

[Twinwolf]

No. For some reason discord pop ups make it impossible to click anything and I'm doing real life stuff in between posts. So just say what it is here.

[Sl4cker]

jesus
that's unfortunate
sorry

[Twinwolf]

That and I'm going to sleep in 20 minutes, so you know. Is it something that I actually need to respond too, and if so post it here.

[Chevaleresse]

you should be able to set notifications to only @ mentions (or disable them entirely), but i was just gonna make the same offer I just did

as far as co-GMing, i would do my best to help run the mechanical side of it and maybe come up with less plot-important encounters, that sort of thing, since I'm sure you have a plot in mind that you don't want fucked with.

[Twinwolf]

I'll consider it, since it sounds helpful; although, I'm unsure how that makes me able to take more players.

Seriously, why is people's default response to "I can't take more players than this" to say that they should get a co-GM? Does that magically make them able to take more characters somehow?

[Powder Miner]

When I Co-GMed with GUNINANRUNIN, we each had a party completely separate from the other that would meet near the end :V
and then it died because we were slow
but mostly me

but yeah, co-GMing isn't a magical deal that lets one administer all the players ever in the same game; GUNINANRUNIN and I basically had separate but shared-world teams, and having a team of like 14 would have been an impossible thing to administer.

[Sl4cker]

i think the logic goes as follows
"GM cannot do more than X players
The reason for this must be that the mechanics and other things are too complex for more than X players
Co-GM helps takes care of mechanics, thus allowing GM to do more players"

[Powder Miner]

division of responsibilities doesn't make it more efficient because then you need the other person to do things before you progress

[Twinwolf]

Oh, then that definitely doesn't apply here. It's a balancing issue in this one.

well yeah
i was just saying how i thought their thought processes went

time to tip the scales

[Twinwolf]

6 is already the upper limit of what the rulebook recommends.

[Chevaleresse]

the idea was yeah, you were worried about encounters and stuff being difficult to balance, so doing more smaller encounters (that won't be strictly dependant on one another) would resolve that issue to an extent while still allowing some ridiculous full-scale final battle or whatever. The reason I offer is due to the rather large amount of interest here


and rulebooks schmulebooks, this is bay12
