I think 2-4 players to one GM is my ideal and is my current group's setup. Even 5 players would feel like too many for me, and I don't play games where balance is important to the degree where the party must have enough people in it. I've also enjoyed 1-on-1 games before. With 2 or 3 players though, there's more sources of creativity involved and there's less pressure to be "on" the whole time.
New comment on Blog Post You know, I think Roger Ebert made a difference

Back before the Internet, I think we curated content differently on the platforms we had at the time. Radio, television, and newspapers had different ideas then about what content the masses might be interested in consuming, or what was worthy of serving up as fit for public consumption. Perhaps they thought Ebert was erudite but popular and concise enough to both educate the public while being a good instrument for advertising current films, so the powers that be gave him a slice of their platforms. Books and magazines were where the rest of humanities ideas were left to play that were too long-form or specialized. Once the Internet hit, now we are drowning in opinions about everything all the time. The only way someone like Ebert would exist now is if he was on a popular platform and would grind out a following to where, eventually, the public would hear about him and his ideas.

It was definitely a different time back when someone like Roger Ebert could be on television (or in the newspaper) explaining his thoughts on a film. It gave people a language on talking about film and a guide for their eyes on how to look at film (or, at least, how Ebert looks and talks about them, which you could use for yourself or not).Back before the Internet, I think we curated content differently on the platforms we had at the time.
