Boingy! Boingy!
I solve the drama of game cancellations by only gaming with people whom I consider friends. If you're not someone I'd be willing to see socially outside the game, I don't want you in my house every other weekend eating my chips and drinking my booze. Since the men I game with are my friends, I don't get all "sense of entitlement-y" about the game session getting cancelled or cut short.
Or, if the DM cancels, it usually goes like this:
It's that easy.
"Yo, Mark. I can't make next Man-Day. Got a thing."
"That's cool. See you next time."
"That's cool. See you next time."
Or, if the DM cancels, it usually goes like this:
"Yo, Mark. I can't dee em next Man-Day. Got a thing."
"No problemo. I gotta one shot I can run. Got your back, bro."
"No problemo. I gotta one shot I can run. Got your back, bro."
It's that easy.
