Party size and related advice.

Greetings fellow Pathfinders!

I am about to run my homegroup through Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition, and I wondered how difficult/advisable it is to run it for 6 rather than 4 players.

I hesitate only because I ran 6 players for a 2+ year Kingmaker campaign and I had to be a fair amount of work to adjust challenge ratings and encounters because of it. Other factors were the presence of a gunslinger who hit way too easily and the fact that many fights we agains one BBEG.

Will I run into these issues if I wanted to run 6? Any advice to make the work load a bit less?

Depends on how optimized your group is. We're 5 and get mauled regularly in our RotRL campaign. Assuming you follow the standard 15 pt and the entire party isn't powergaming, you should be fine with adjusting HP and adding an extra mook here or there if they start breezing through things. There will be points where there's tight spaces that may make it hard for people to do things. Keep that in mind.

I will! Thanks MattR1986.

Does anyone else have words of wisdom or caution for me? Any different experiences?

My only experience is that I bought a copy off Amazon yesterday, as it was slashed in price to £27 (GB) :)

I feel bad about not supporting my FLGS, so figure I'll spend the £18 I saved on something else in store.
