I can't quite imagine being able to stay focused with a group as big as you can manage.

I mean this as a compliment, but with the immersive nature of the games you seem to run, Bill, I believe it. I've had 15 people around the table for a fantasy campaign in GURPS, and were it not for a high tolerance for Monty Python quips and a general lack of angst over minimal screen time, it would have likely been highly off-putting. As it was, the gathering was more important than the game. When I've done "real" roleplaying where chacterization was deep and meaningful, the groups were always smaller.
