So i got myself to starting a new group that consists of 8 people who has either no xp to seasoned veteran at playing tabletop rpgs. The dilemma obviously is the group's size but no one wants to step up as DM to take half the group into another game. At least not yet. We are all new to each other and have played two sessions, going on our third. We even have two more people wanting in the game, but good times so far. I want to take them to an AP but with so many i will definitely burn out early on the game. I suggested we have half the group play the heroes and the other half plays the NPCs exclusively. Has anyone ever tried this method since no one else wants to DM? Hate to lose all the new recruits to the hobby but then again don't want to step on the veterans' toes. The co-DM ideas popped up in discussions but no one wants to volunteer themselves out openly. Been in games where we had rotating DMs before so the concept is not new to me. Thoughts and ideas welcomed. Thanks and my apologies in advanced for the wall of text.
