Message: <blockquote data-quote="el-remmen" data-source="post: 9834083" data-attributes="member: 11">We try to avoid this by scheduling the next session immediately at the end of the current session, we all bust out our calendars, start at 3 weeks out and move ahead 5 to 7 days at a time until we find a date within 5 weeks that we can all make it. This has worked for us as I can count on one hand how many times we have played a person down in the last 5 years of this group's existence (maybe literally 1 and if there were more, I can't recall). However, in the post-pandemic period, sometimes something comes up (like someone tests positive for COVID) and we just zoom them in.However, if someone really can't make it, we play without them and I (as DM) will make (as few as possible) choices for the absent player, but someone else is assigned rolling dice for them, but in general we do our best to keep that character out of the spotlight for the session (if possible by having them do something on their own in town).That said, I have had someone's character die in their absence (though that was back in the 90s).</blockquote>
