This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Our group is kinda stuck for the moment with a small group until we can recruit some new blood.
 
So really Im looking for ideal RPG systems and adventures/campaigns that would suit small groups.

...Risus. You can run anything with Risus and it's about as easy as a RPG can be.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Nicephorus

In general, investigative adventures are easier to structure for fewer people than combat heavy games.  Many fantasy games expect some combined arms aspects or having one of each of the special abilities.  Also, when somebody goes down, it's much more painful if they're half the party instead of 1/6 of the party.

Well, Tunnels and Trolls is simple enough that you can potentially run with 2 - 3 characters per player, if so inclined.

Ancient Odysseys: Treasure Awaits can even be played solo, let alone with just a couple folks. Very neat, elegant, nifty little boxed set.

Obviously, and no problem. Doctor Who is MADE for small player groups.

Quote from: thedungeondelver;373237I second T&T and S&W, and would also mention Dragon Age.

Ooh yeah, Dragon age would fit into this category nicely.
