[QUOTE="Haradim, post: 672025, member: 8468"] 'A' session? Probably not, despite somewhat grouchy threats to that effect ;) Such PCs usually disappear, and gain no XP/treasure. More than one? Well, things get risky after that. I must say I have very little tolerance for unreliable players; if you say you are going to play, myself and the other players do expect you to be around. We don't have a lot of players (usually 3 at best), so if someone goes missing, that's a third of the party's resources gone. That can make it hard to properly plan an adventure, and makes it particularly bad if someone drops out in the middle of a multi-session adventure. Overall, I'd rather eject someone who cannot have a definite schedule (even if it means having 1 or 2 players left) than try to play and keep weaving them in and out. I know it would annoy me to no end, and I'm sure the other players wouldn't be too impressed either.
