#BlackLivesMatter
I was in a short-lived RP recently where the characters formed a caravan of bodyguards escorting the GM's character. I think a similar format would be good, that way I can have the larger group that I prefer (12 to 15 people), still have people in small groups (maybe three wagons), all while keeping everyone in the same general area (a caravan going across the country).That's true. Maybe start off with something more interesting like the team meeting for the first time? We can get some juicy character interaction going.
As for a team... maybe a max of five per team, but teams balanced out? For example, if you had 8 players you'd do two teams of four.
And then, the story doesn't have to start with the beginning of the trip. Depending on how well the players work together, I might be able to finangle the RP beginning with the return trip to the capital city with something that the Queen needs to see.
