I'm not the nicest GM as far as players missing sessions.  If they don't show up then I don't think they should get the same number of xp as those who put forth the effort and showed up.  And... I probably won't give more than 20% for a combat that just randomly occurs if one of the players suddenly gets bored and decides to start killing people just cuz, ya know.  Probably 0% is more like it, and I will tell them all this before the games begin.What do you think?</blockquote>
