[QUOTE="Ashrum the Black, post: 3160214, member: 1585"] Umm, wow. Sounds like you've picked up one of the players I used to have. She was great in a role play session, but you had to remind her how to calculate her tohit every time she swung the sword and liked to play things for "drama" instead of for party coherancy. She also pulled the disappearing act for a while when she didn't like the direction of the campaign. My opinon would be to send her an email, or call her up, and ask her when she'll be returning. She may be on the fence about coming back herself after he last conversation with you. Let her know that you need a commitment so you can make sure to work her character back into the party seemlessly. If she can't commit then let her know to call you when she's ready, but you can't gaurentee a seat at the table immediately depending on how the campaign is rolling. Let her know it isn't a personal thing, and make sure she knows all of the things she does that are right at the table, you just need to make things work out best for the group. And droping her character in out of the blue in the middle of an enemy camp would make much sense. Give her some time to work things out before you fill her spot at the table, but make sure that if she takes too long the chairs may be gone. Or if that isn't your thing then have her character wink out. She was just summoned by a deck of many things to serve in another plane for a while. When she's ready to come back she winks back in with one whopper of a tale to tell the pary. But this assumes you want her back and aren't truely looking for an excuse to drop her. Honestly, it sounds as though you may be leaning in the direction at the moment. I'd have to say that you really need to look at the sessions you've had recently, and decide are you folks having more fun without her than with her. If the answer is yes, then I'd say it's time to cut the strings and replace her with one of those waiting in the wings. -Ashrum [/QUOTE]
