[QUOTE="Djeta Thernadier, post: 1126198, member: 12043"] First of all, work is, in fact, a very legitamate reason to have to skip games. We have a couple of guys in our group who have pretty weird schedules, so we try to accomodate everyone and we're lucky enough to be able to do so. Some people can't. No one should putgaming or any hobby above being able to earn a living and support themself and their family. That being said, I'm glad you are trying to keep him in the game. Have you discussed it with your other players? What do they think? I think the idea of him playing a recurring NPC is great. I started in my group playing an NPC. Perhaps he could be an NPC who meets with the group every few weeks (or gaming sessions) to gather information from them, give them information he's found and assist them in combats that might happen to arise while he's there. Though I don't play the NPC for my group now, he still meets up with the PCs fairly regularly. The other idea is good too though, having him be cursed to live under the control of another player. That's different and might be fun to roleplay (so long as the person playing the person who controls him doesn't get carried away ;) ) Or have him continue with his current character, but get seperated from the group and go off on his own for a while. Have him meet up with them once in a while. Keep us posted :) [/QUOTE]
