[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6754344, member: 6701872"] I'm with [MENTION=6801286]Imaculata[/MENTION] on the topic of scheduling game sessions, at least for the most part - I can't say I entirely am because I'm not sure if Imaculata feels the same way about players giving the group notice of any absence or late arrival before it happens rather than leaving us all wondering if we should wait to start or not. To me, not being able to make it to a gaming session is entirely non-offensive, but being disrespectful about it isn't. I mean seriously, I don't even care what your reasons for not being able to show up or show up on time are, I just care that you actually inform me. I think that Imaculata is using the term "real life" the same way that I do, which is as a means to color the commitment with it's different level of priority from a "hobby commitment", rather than to try and say that it isn't a commitment at all as you took it to mean. That said, I've got a group of players that have scheduling difficulties of varying types, but instead of allowing that to negatively affect those that have been able to show up, we just embrace that our schedule is going to have issues and roll with it - including that we have "back up campaigns" for the three most common configurations of players present when 2 or more of the players can't attend, and have a shelf laden with board and card games that we enjoy having the opportunity to play when an RPG session doesn't work out.
