I dislike doing it so much that I specifically engineered a way to run a campaign so that I would never have to worry about a player being absent again. The campaign is simply episodic. You should up, you adventure, you go back to town at the end of the session. The players that show up represent the PCs that want to adventure and no one has to worry about "missing players."While I have a personal distaste for it, I cannot say it is simply wrong however. But a DM is well-advised to instruct his players in advance on how he will handle PC absences. Penalties, such as less XP or treasure share, are certainly appropriate.</blockquote>
