The secret to having 20+ players at once is to divide them into groups. Then, you're not really running a game for 20+ players, but 5+ games for 4 players! Much easier to handle! Over-drafting by a few (say, 8 players for a 5 player game) is something I would always recommend. It helps with the initial drops, it gives more of a solid core to continue with, and it allows you to update at a set regular point, even if everyone hasn't updated. For example, running a combat for 8 characters, you can build it for 5, and update once a given time has expired, even if only 5 out of 8 PCs have responded. It remains roughly balanced (and if all PCs post, then it's just a bit easy for them), it maintains momentum, and it doesn't cause people stress over having to get a post in, if life's kicked them on that particular day / week.

Not gonna lie, I had a total fangirl moment when that game wrapped up with all forty or so PCs in the same fight. Gold Star GMing at it's highest, seriously. I keep forgetting to hint about that game when HoF is running.

Cheers, Aethera
I did mention the game last time, but I think it suffered from the "no active players" curse, and didn't get far It is something I'd be keen on doing again...but wow, not sure when would be a good time to try...

Don't ignore the OOC thread, in case there's planning in there. Especially with long-running games, I've seen folks (not namin' names) jump in and post in-game and then turn around and find out they didn't read the planning the rest of the players were working on.

Communication is probably the key to all games, but I figure you have that already.
- What the GM wants - What the other players want - "That's how my character would act!" vs being a player aware of OOC conflict... pretty much anything OOC conflict you can add. Conflict resolution in general, both IC and OOC. - something about treating joining a game like first day on the job? mind your manners, be clear about everything you're doing, etc. It seems like it should be self-explanatory, but apparently it's not. Might be worth some reminders about tone of voice not existing online.

I dunno sure if it'd really hold up or be something that RPGX would even want in its hall of fame. :')

I am planning to do a month on site competitions at some point. I feel like that deserves more work so it needs to wait for now.

If you give me a heads up when you're ready to get into site competitions, I think I can provide info and links to get you started at least. Might be worth dragging me, Inem/hugga, and Bhelogan/Wynamoinen into something to talk about HoF/Iron GM/Outplay, but that might be overkill and hard to schedule with international folks.

No that’s exactly what I want to do, which is why I opted to hold off on covering them. Right now I’m sort of thinking it as next January as sort of a new year kick off. So I’ll probably start reaching out to specific people in August or so.

For your consideration: the title of episode 5 of RPGX Radio (original run).
