An epic Classic Traveller campaign of 17 players all at once? (And easier to run than a table of 4) (mythicmountainsrpg.substack.com)

Interesting read, thanks. Can't imagine how this actually feels to play but it sounds fun. I love sci-fi but hate resource management stuff so I'd be wanting to play out individual actions more

    Good read, it's interesting how this differs from DND. Crazy cool how they are juggling 17 people, and DND falls apart with ~5.

    I don't get these low numbers. pathfinder's default assumes four but back in the day 6 was kinda the ideal party. If we did not have enough players sometimes someone would control two characters.

    I have read stories that D&D in the 70s it was normal to have groups of 10-20 people. There were player roles like "mappers" for drawing the map. There was a "caller" who summarized the player moves for the GM.
