[QUOTE="thundershot, post: 2200081, member: 628"] Our group is VERY character-centric, and if we don't have everyone there, we generally do something else (like play Settlers of Catan). The problem is explaining why the character is suddenly missing. Right now they're doing the BONEGARDEN, and if someone's missing, it could mean the death of them all. What I did when they were lower level... one of the players (who is the little brother, now 18, but he was only 13 then) had football and school and stuff. I gave his character a cursed ring. It would randomly (i.e. whenever he couldn't make it) cause him to swap places with a female sahuagin. Everytime it happened, the party had to subdue her. Meanwhile, Lance (the cavalier) was happily enjoying the luxurious demi-plane of the ring. When they'd switch back, the "fish lady" would be in the ring. Eventually, he was able to show up every week, so I turned the ring into a story arc. He and the fish lady got fused together into one being and they had to undo the curse... [/QUOTE]
