[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7209138, member: 6803664"] If it's the same people all the time? Drop them. Last year (spring/summer of '16) we ran a lighthearted 5e game of all barbarians. 5 people - 1 DM/4 players. We played every other week & agreed that the game would run as long as any 3 [B]players[/B] could make it. 2 of the players revealed themselves to be unreliable & inconsiderate. One consistently forgot which week we were playing on. Sometimes he'd show up, sometimes not, sometimes he'd call, other times.... The other just wouldn't tell you if they weren't going to make it. So we never knew until about 15m prior to start time if we were having a game that night. We played 50% of the expected sessions. Eventually we (DM & the 2 reliable people decided to end the game. We played a final wrap up session & let the others know the game was over - and that they were not going to be invited to future games. They were mad. Screw them. My friend Josh (not involved in the above game)? Great guy. Great friend. [B]Completely[/B] unreliable though outside his job. He tells you he'll be somewhere it's a coin flip at the last moment. Got himself banned from our long standing Sunday evening game. [/QUOTE]
