Role-playing Games (RPGs) are a group activity, so if you've decided to give role-playing a try, the first thing you're going to need to do is find some people who are also interested in gaming. While it's possible to run a game with just two people (one player and one Game Master (GM)), most gamers prefer slightly larger groups. I personally like to have at least 3 players (plus a GM) for most games. The upper limit for group size depends a lot on the game and the abilities of the GM. The larger the group, the longer it will take to get through each scene, especially for games with complex rules systems. Also, large groups mean that each player gets a smaller slice of "screen time" (scenes where his or her character is in the spotlight), which translates to less intensive role-playing and character development. For most RPGs, things will begin to get bogged down somewhere in the six to eight player range.
