[QUOTE="robaustin, post: 390010, member: 2703"] We usually do not play without a player there. We have on rare occasion played - and the DM controls the missing player's character on autopilot for the most part. However - our usual plan if someone is going to be missing but we still want to play is to still get together and play a boardgame, card game or we have a "pickup" D&D game - where there are some pre-made PC's that we just hand out at random. We can be as reckless as we want with them as we like - and can try out things we might not try in the regular game. That pickup game is played in Sunless Citadel. It works well because everyone still gets their fill of D&D, and then we haven't messed up the plot or the missing person's character. We schedule games according to everyone's schedule. We only play Friday and Saturday nights, so what we do is have everyone submit their schedules to our DM's wife (also a player) - she is the schedule keeper - she then schedules games on two or three free days during the month. We usually get at least one game in, possibly two. Three is a boon! That's what happens when you're all in your 30's married and some with kids. --*Rob [/QUOTE]
