[QUOTE="boerngrim, post: 3519454, member: 40230"] A few years ago I was running a game with anywhere from 4 to 8 players at any given session. There were many times when one or more people couldn't make it. We just sort of left the character in limbo untill they returned. It was the only way to keep the game going without having to spend a lot of time doing assides to catch people up. I had to draw a line with one player who was habitully late to sessions. We had an aggreed upon start time, and this one guy kept arriving anywhere from one to three hours late. One time I just told him I wouldn't be able to work him into the story that day. He got mad and left, but the disruption to the game, and headache to me was gone. (Turns out after the fact he was cheating on his wife and telling her he was at D&D, while he was with the other woman.) Another guy in the same group once sacked out on the couch and slept through an entire session. We couldn't rouse him for anything. When the game ended the guy he rode with finally got him awake and he actually asked me how much xp he got! I just laughed out loud. :) [/QUOTE]
