[QUOTE="reanjr, post: 1632257, member: 20740"] I have several policies in place both to handle and deter missing players. 1. No XP. Period. If possible, I disclude the character from the adventure entirely. Usually, unless the session ended in the middle of action, this isn't too much of a problem. Since I run my campaigns from off the top of my head primarily, I can usually just add some kind of complication that the character can handle while the rest of the party is doing other things. 2. No call no shows are not tolerated. Two in a row, and your character is guarenteed to have been used as a sacrificial lamb to the campaign. A good excuse MIGHT get you by on this. 3. Scheduled absentees are OK. If it becomes a problem, I will let the player know that his character's life is in imminent danger. This works out especially well for casters, because they can spend the time researching spells and/or creating magic items. [/QUOTE]
