I have WAY more than I want to comfortably run that wish to give the 3ed a try - so to help both my final group and other interested parties get the system down I am running the demo scenario. My question is this - for expediency I am running the demo twice with 6 PC's. I have adjusted the encounter difficulty and scaled things so they should work ok - I know dice will be a serious issue but we'll make do - but I need two more characters. They certainly don't know enough yet to make a reasonable attempt, nor do I really at this juncture - anyone able to give a general idea of what I should throw together for them?

[braces for the OMGNOTSIXPEOPLE! calls and moans =D]

Six people is a handful, I can tell you that from personal experience. Not to mention the players will need to share cards.

Still you can do it. I recommend you make the characters and use any of the core careers. It'll give you a taste for the character creation process.

Best of luck.

I know no matter how I reply to this, some will think it comes off as elitist or condescending...I apologize in advance. Still, I think there are times it must be reiterated.

When posting in forums it is general ettiquette to search a few thread pages back to see if a similar subject has already been actively replied to. In fact, many forums have search options to make it even easier to find threads that relate to the subject you're looking for.

In the case of this thread, there has been some nice activity just a few posts below this one titled "Running with more than 3 players". Here's the link: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_foros_discusion.asp?efid=165&efcid=3&efidt=263205 .

Good luck with your group,,,even if the play session gets a little messy, it should provide for a great get-together!

Eldenward - I take no offense at folks pointing me in the right direction - but I believe you may have misunderstood my question. Easily done in the long ramble I posted...lol.

I wasn't asking how to manage with more than three - and I've already got the players kits to run the full group with their own cards, etc [Gawd I would kill for some extra dice though] - the question was more "What two character careers would you suggest for the two additional players that would fit with the demo scenario. Sorry if that was unclear before and I appreciate the pointing to other resource threads!
