Hello all, I haven't done any RPs in a while becuase of school and work, but the semester is almost over for me and I'm starting of going back. Anyway before i start going back i was wondeirng what you guys consider to be a small or large group?

For me a small group consists of around five people, plus and minus two or three, whereas a large group would be ten and above. When i say people i mean role players, not characters, or should it be the other way around in a sense that when you say group size you mean the amount of playable characters in the group?

The reason i ask is because a possible RP that i'd want to do in the nearby future with a maximum of at least eight players with one character per person, would that kind of story be considered a small group or a large group?

I'd put that on the large group side, personally, but then again on this site 'small' groups aren't as small as I thought they'd be. I guess it kind of depends on your roleplay. For example, while a small group for a casual plot-based RP may be four or five people, in Arena a small group would likely be quite a bit larger. Then again, I don't really frequent the Arena section.

In any case, I'd put that on the large side.

The story would basically be about eight survivors in a post apocalypse america, and by post apocalypse i mean they are literally the only humans left, for a while anyway...

Well, our current RP (nearly at IC start stage) is definitely large. it currently has in excess of 20 players.

I wouldn't call eight small. I'd call it medium-large.

I wouldn't worry about the tags too much (assuming that's why you're asking). People will check out your game based on the other tags and title more than group-size. Either way, you can just stipulate in the OoC how many players you're looking for, but if you want exactly eight players (ie: no fewer), you might find that challenging, depending on how popular your idea is. Some games aren't that popular (which is no reflection on whether they're 'good' or not), but you don't always get as many players as you're looking for. _{#bitterexperience}

Small: five/six or less, large: anything more.

Thanks for the input guys. I guess I'll just put in that i'm specifically looking for seven or less amount of players.
