[QUOTE="takasi, post: 3373768, member: 20194"] So last night our DM could not make it to our weekly game due to unforeseen circumstances. In the past when this has happened we either ran a one-shot, went to the movies or got drunk at a bar and played pool. Some of the players aren't really big on one-shots as substitute games, especially when they are really stoked to play in their character and find out (especially at the last minute) that they won't be playing that character. Last night we decided to start a new "Backup Campaign". The campaign is very different from our other weekly game. Instead of point buy, it's 3d6 down the line (option 7 I think). Crits are automatic (no confirmation) and good hits and bad misses are used. All hp are rolled, even at first level. Core only. No action points. Instead of using an adventure path or modified modules, everything is player driven. Instead of a cosmopolitan Renaissance D&D urban setting, the campaign takes place on an overland hex map with primitive, brutal and feudal societies. What do you do when your DM doesn't show? Do you have a backup campaign with another DM? How is the campaign different than your regular session? [/QUOTE]
