Right now my group is knee-deep into our first RTL game with me as overlord, but we're already talking about our next adventure. The only problem is that we have another player who wants to join (for 5 heroes). I've read a number of suggestions on how to handle 6 players (most of which turn into having a shared overlord approach which has already been rejected by the group), but nothing I have read feels right yet.
An idea I had was to allow the overlord two silver at copper, two gold at silver, etc. That's it. It's simple and direct, but would it work?
