[QUOTE="Karma Kollapse, post: 7288466, member: 6693505"] Oh absolutely, one player is in both groups and pretty much as soon as I got into the office I sent him a message about both situations and asked him what he thought without giving too much commentary myself. He's comment was mostly that it didn't sound good. Mostly posting here is me venting a bit but also finding out other people deal with such things - I don't chat GM with many people IRL! The first proper session of Starfinder was last night and it was a lot of fun, and I talked to two guys after the game about the guy who dropped from the session; it sounded like there might be more going on than meets the eye. I'll probably chat with the Pathfinder group in more detail before we meet next week. The Pathfinder group is about to get into a stretch where bringing a new player in might be a headache storywise, so I would have preferred any new player to have joined before that stretch starts. Eh! Thank you everyone for your feedback, it's genuinely appreciated and a bit comforting! It is also a good reminder that things could be worse; I think I'd much less tolerant of people dropping from sessions but not telling me until after it is clear they are not coming (I think only one player has done that so far, and to be fair they had broke their back, I think that's a pretty good excuse).
