Is it a random work schedule, sick kids or relatives, or something more basic?One thing that I've seen several times, unfortunately, that's made some very good players into unreliable players, is that someone else doesn't like them gaming, and thus last minute things keep just "coming up" so that they can't make the game. In one case we had to eventually cancel a game, since one of the players kept being called back for "emergencies" by his wife, who just didn't like the fact that he was gaming.The solution to this problem is to figure out what's causing it: if it's something that you can't control, maybe it's time to take some time off from gaming. It will still be there when you can play again. If it's something you can control, you need to get a handle on it. With my fiancee, we both have shared google calendars that we set up things like game night on. It works wonders, since once she knows about me being out with the guys she can make plans of her own, and I won't schedule game night when we have something else we need to do.It's all about taking control of the things you can, and if that won't work, fixing things so that your life is back to where you can control them. The game will still be there!</blockquote>
