For 2 of the tables I GM, half the players have young families, so the VTT has been a terrific aid for accomodating them. Most of those player's spouses play too, so it isn't uncommon for them to hot-seat a few times over the course of the evening.Otherwise, for players that can't make a session for another reason, we usually have another player run their PC if the owner is willing. All of my players' sheets are replicated in the VTT and updated weekly. So, with the ability to display any PC sheet on the big screen, it's minimal effort for another player to play them.It's worked, because it's typically a minimal number of players (1 or 2) that can't make a session in-person. I've had the odd player that's consistently tardy, or wants to play from home more often than in-person. For them, I just suggest they move to one of my online VTT campaigns, which they have. I can't stress how much using a VTT like this has helped my IRL tables remain active/viable. Not to mention I get to use the VTT (FG or Foundry) running on my laptop as a GM screen.   <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😏" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60f.png" title="Smirking face    :smirk:" data-shortname=":smirk:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="(y)" title="Thumbs up    (y)"  data-smilie="22"data-shortname="(y)" /></blockquote>
