Ok, this is going to sound like somewhat of a dumb question - but since I can't find the definite answer in a search I've performed on the forums over the last few minutes, here goes.

Is there a set MAXIMUM number of clients that an FGII GM can have connect to their session at any one time? I have the Ultimate license... so I'm trying to get a feel for how many people I can have connect and play realistically.

I think bandwidth is the only limiting factor.

I've heard of 10-12 players in a single game. I think the inherent delays in adding more people to any RPG game are the limiting factor. There are no hard-coded limits on the number of connections in the Ultimate or Full versions.

Here's some proof (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1616&d=1284233170) :D

As Moon_Wizard says the real limit that day was the long wait for each player between actions in combat. FGII itself coped without issue.

The screen shot was an international game I think we had three continents (USA/Europe/Australia) that day!
