The Wild Talents game I run with 6 players has been great since I split it up on 2 nights. Some players jump in on both nights and some don't always make it but 3-4 players is ideal since I'm beginning to work in a lot of characterization. The sessions where I have 5 or more players are definitely more chaotic and I'm not able to get into the better roleplaying.

I think this would be a lot of fun and work really well for my situation, except the fact that I can't commit that much time to RPGs right now (unfortunately)...

Definitely looking forward to when these start getting posted (though I noticed the second TMNT is up, which I am eager to listen to)...

I just listen to your game, and I got to say I am imprest. You did a admirable job as the GM with a group that big, but that one girl playing the Canadian, really took the other players out of the game. Was she the player that doesn’t 'play nicely with others'?

Anyway, I really liked the scene when the players walk into the “frat party”, it was very ’festive’.

The promised episode 2 has finally been uploaded. We had 6 players this time, so it was a bit lighter, and things went quite a bit smoother for simply having that one less player. The two middle sessions, we had the least people, and the whole mood really benefits. The last episode, when and if it ever gets published, is a nine-player trainwreck. Cool stuff happened, but still...
Having done it, it was fun. Would I do it agai- Ahahahaha fuuuuuck no.

Funnily enough, due to a variety of assorted stupid drama and asshattery (some of it very likely mine) as well as one dude doing theatre, our regular group is now only four people, myself included. Funny how these things end up going.
