Pssh, what a bunch of nerds.

Go back to your books.

I WILL.

And I'll look like a 18th century British arisocrat while doing it.

Where is broadsword wielding guy?

It's not a three person party. This is half the group.

SIX?! christ man, I have a hard time with FOUR. How do you not lose track of people in conversations? loot division alone must be a nightmare.

Loot isn't that bad with, ya know, a calculator.
Conversations can be tough and it does make it hard to roleplay, but not every single person is very prone to talking much anyways.
Not hard to lose track of people though, I mean... people have different voices, you know.

ah, that would do it. I am used to having one or two players be incredibly talkative, and one or two be almost mute. and when the mute ones attempt to speak, they're steamrolled by the louder ones and clam up even tighter. Not to mention the risk of the party wanting to split up almost all the time (due to murphy's law) I suppose if you railroaded the campaign a bit harder than usual. that might make this level of DMing easier.

Oh... they split up plenty... often to do the same thing in different places ^^;;

But yes, 6 is a challenge, but they are also mixed enough that there's stuff for them to do (good guys (cavalier and cleric), smart guys (wizard and ranger), shady guys (Rogues) or frontal distraction (cavalier, cleric, wizard) and stealth team (ranger and rogues))... also helps that most of the party as socially a little quiet and so everyone sorta mumbles up when they get an idea.

Also, 5 minute time limits on forming convoluted ideas!

Psssh. The fancier you look, the bigger targets your wallets are.
