[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 3050243, member: 3192"] Joe has some good advice here. Be careful with the way you treat your gaming buddies. They are going out of their way to spend time with you. If they're not able to, trust they have their priorities in order. Being courteous enough to call when they have already committed is big part of that responsibility. You know as the DM you would do the same, right? But cutting people out of your game for not being dedicated enough? That's hardly a way to ensure good will with the rest of the players... or benefit the hobby in general. We have a more laid back player in our games. Seeing as the rest of us are a bunch of addicts, I think he might be the sane one. ;) Suffice to say, I'm brainstorming ways to run the game so he can enjoy it while still offering the rigor other players enjoy. It's a balancing act, but I can't imagine any of us saying, "you've missed too many games. Bye." That's just cold. [/QUOTE]
