[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 7210039, member: 6778044"] Yep, one of the toughest parts is finding a group that's committed and won't do that unless there really is an emergency. If it's a routine issue, then clearly they aren't committed to making it happen. Which usually means that I'll need to talk to them and just have them drop out of the game. Most of the time it's not as big a deal as you might think it would be. If there's a week where there is an emergency and somebody can't make it, then the PC is played by another player, usually with help from the group (including me). We generally have a decent idea of what a given character will do. If a couple of people can't make it, I'll let folks know, and leave the decision to the table. Sometimes others decide that they'll take the week off too. Most of the time we just play something else. Munchkin, Monty Python Flux, MtG and Legendary Encounters are common, or several something elses. Largely it becomes a time when we can spend less time focusing on whatever game we're playing and just hang out. So it usually works out to the benefit of the group, since when we are playing we try to keep the out-of-character socialization to a minimum. [/QUOTE]
