[QUOTE="Fishbone, post: 3048795, member: 40849"] Its WOTC because I'm a huge attracter of flakes and droppers, as both runner and player, when it comes to D&D. It could be any number of things. More players, the games aren't as scarce so a player can afford to blow a group off, etc. The topic was also brought up at a WOTC board. I said my piece, got no replies, and was slagged as a "bad DM" in a different thread. It just seriously blows as a player to get burned by this time and time again and instead of seeing the dick player get reprimanded or talked to he gets bonus XP, your XP gets cut so he doesn't fall behind, or you have to split gear and treasure with him. You spend hours making a campaign or lay down good money on a canned adventure(which usually need a little tweaking and fiddling with for level, balance, and flavor) and the player just doesn't even show up. I'm not saying forsake all others and ditch your job for Rappan Athuk 1-3, I'm just saying be considerate. If you've got a job or other things that will be on that day, think before you commit yourself. [/QUOTE]
