classic question.

I know most people prefer 4 but I'm running an online game (Waterdeep Dragon Heist) and was curious how bad a six person online game might be?

I'm currently running with six. It is manageable and still fun, but I would not add another. 4-6 seems to be the sweet spot.

With six, you do have to make an effort to ensure that everyone is being included. To speed combat up, I make sure to let the next player know when their turn is coming up next so they can prepare.
