Message: <blockquote data-quote="Damon Griffin" data-source="post: 671125" data-attributes="member: 3568">The core members of my gaming group find ourselves in a similar situation.   Though we have thankfully been able to avoid those gamers for whom The Game is everything, superceding all other considerations (i.e., family, job, personal health), we have hooked up with a few of the "Game? What Game?" types, players who may decide to drop by, at some point during our regularly scheduled game hours, if they have been contacted days in advance via two separate email addresses and a phone call to remind them, and if nothing more interesting comes up at the last minute.We've told them, if you think you might be late or have to miss a game, at least be sure we have a copy of your character sheet.  What we usually end up with is a sheet that was reasonably current two experience levels ago, except that some of the magic items were never written down, GP expenses were tracked on scrap paper (not provided to the group) instead of the character sheet, etc.Folks like that make campaign continuity almost impossible to deal with.  We need some new blood. We currently have a 3e game with 7th - 9th level characters (the two 9th level characters just leveled up after our last game, and have not yet played as 9th level characters.  One DM, 3.5 reliable players* and two drop-ins.*the .5 would be entirely reliable as a player if not for his heavy work schedule, which sometimes requires him to arrive late or leave early, but we always know about this in advance.We usually play on Saturday afternoons, 1:00pm-ish to dinner time, except when we play on those same hours Sunday.  My house is the usual location, a couple of miles north of downtown, near IH-10 @ Fredericksburg/Woodlawn.</blockquote>
