I played in a tavern brawl game once with 21 players. We played on a large map of the tavern with a router for each character. As you might expect it was a very slow moving game.
There is no actual official limit to the number of either players or characters in a campaign.
There are practical limits to how many players and characters work well for a game session though. I have run for as many as 13 at once, I find anything above 6 to be unwieldy. 3-5 players is the sweet spot for me.
Hi,
What are the limits as to the number of players and number of active characters in a campaign?
Is this documented anywhere?
Thank you!
12 players, 1 DM. So 13 total per campaign.
Thank you for your answer.
Is that documented anywhere?
And you're stating there's a player limit of 12 players, is there a character limit?
Thanks!

As far as d&d goes, there isn't an official limit.
DDB's campaigns will allow up to 12 active characters per campaign (number of players is not counted).
Is this 12 active characters per campaign documented anywhere on the DDB site apart from the few places it's mentioned in this thread?
