Might I suggest that 4 people is enough? With a tight-knit group that's willing to post when needed, I think we'll get much farther than bringing in another 2-3 people who may or may not post often. Maybe another person would be cool, but more than that and we get into the territory of too many cooks spoiling the soup. That said, I'm willing to go along with whatever you decide in the end.<br/><br/>The more present concern in my mind is getting the PCs together--for my character it's not too hard. Just have the prince tell him to go somewhere and interact with people, and at this point he'd do it without question. That said, others might want to suggest ways for their characters to have reasons to join up, though it mostly depends on what you have in mind as far as where this adventure takes us.
