I think you are right about splitting it Lokean. First: It would be overwhelming to read all the texts with too many players. Second: these games will be slow by nature, having too many player would slow them down even more to a degree where it would create frustration. Around 12-15 players per game would be alright IMO, and that seems to be where it´ll land with the current interest.

I wouldn´t worry about a little extra setup time. Joining a roleplaying game such as this requires a lot of dedication anyhow, so if you can´t wait a week or two (or three) for it than maybe it´s not your kind of game.
