In the heyday of Mysantia, I regularly had 12-15 players that I handled w no prob. Now I prefer exactly 4. At a con w an assistant I had a 20 player Call of Cthulhu LARP (My fav run of all time)
How about you?

Our old group back in the day was always somewhere between 4 to 6 players. I don't recall anything higher.

In college we started with a referee and twelve players, that gradually grew to 16-20 almost every game and we had 21-29/30 players on occasion. I could not do that many now, between vision and hearing changes, twelve or so is my limit now. But even the 29/30 game with no assistant I had no problem at all and Combat ran approximately five times faster than the 5E game I am in with four players.

Nine (9) has been about my max. On a good night (and we play at least 1 - 2 nights a week) I host 7 on average.

Wow, I've heard this before but I come away in wonder every time. That is amazing, being able to sustain this. |

You either love me or hate me, just about no in between. Life is like that for me. This only happened when my players were actively recruiting, they stopped a long time ago. On a side note I had had both an asst. dm and a secretary to wrangle players, no more. |

I think 8 players was my biggest group ever.
But I have a campaign going currently, using my 1e homebrew rules, which has 7 regular players. So I've gotten used to a larger table.
My ideal table is 3-4 players plus 1 DM. NPC henchmen or multiple PCs when extra muscle is needed.
I'm also having fun in my 1-on-1 campaign with my wife (detailed in separate thread). She runs one primary PC and currently has 2 additional PC companions.

We played Star Trek from cadet to Fed Capt. then even Klingon Admiral. |
