I used to play Strat-O-Matic and other dice baseball games, as well as Subbuteo tabletop soccer.

How the eff do you manage 16 players in an RPG? Unless it was a LARP?

no larp. had a couple of players that decided to bring in there wives witch caused other players to bring in there girl friends and friends of the girl friends to keep them interested that lasted for about 6 months. for some reason our dm would not say no. most of the women lost interest and the herd soon thinned we are now down to 6.

Oh hells no. It's not necessarily a gender thing; I tend to have about as many female players as male when I do tabletop games. But there is *no* bringing of wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends or children. Players only at the gaming table. If you do not have a character, your own d20's and a serious interest in the plotline, go find something else to do. Distractions make for a bad game, and indifferent players are worse than that. I'm not surprised the herd thinned down.
