I applaud you for trying to include the player not coming. I'll leave it at that.
Huh? I think you have me confused with someone else. Everyone can make it!

Sorry if this opens up a can of worms, but the world needs more overcautious people right now. Getting vaccinated makes you less likely to catch and transmit, it doesn't make you immune. Hanging out with other vaccinated people is safer, not safe.Maybe that will help for however long it takes for your friend to realized he is probably being overcautious.
Vaccinated people are still coming up positive. (Mentioning that in case you're the cautious type.)My entire gaming group is now vaccinated, and by the time our next regularly scheduled game comes up, will be fully immunized.
Aw! When I had a remote player, I pointed the camera at all of our smiling faces. Those are important these days. The main thing that I did was make occasional checks to see if the remote player was unable to contribute. Think of the remote p!ayer as a really shy in-person player (quiet, easy to overlook). Everyone gets spotlight (if they want it)!. So we just got him on google chat video or whatever and pointed the laptop camera at the mat.

My entire gaming group is now vaccinated, and by the time our next regularly scheduled game comes up, will be fully immunized. According to CDC guidelines, it's safe for us to resume gaming in person at my house, even if one couple brings their school-aged child (who doesn't game with us and usually watches cartoons in an adjacent room, except for popping in for snacks and to bring me Lego robots he wants me to attack the PCs with). One of my players is adamant about not resuming face-to-face yet because of their elderly father's risk factors (though, he is also fully immunized at this point).
Rather than try to convince them it's safe apart from providing the CDC guidelines, we're considering suggesting that they join remotely. So, we'll have 4 players around the table, plus me, and 1 remote player.
Has anyone played with this sort of set up? What challenges did you have? What solutions did you use? Any advice/suggestions?
