[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5864576, member: 92305"] With my games, we couldn't set a particular night and just play that day, like a poker night. Too many schedules and things to juggle. And, at least in my experience, the one set time, every month or every week, is key to having people not show up. Because people are busy. Five months down the line, one player's daughter has a volleyball game at that time. Or, grandma is in town. Or their wedding anniversary fall on that day. Or, we all forgot that one of the game nights was a holiday. Whatever. Yes, I do the negotiation that [MENTION=463]S'mon[/MENTION] dreads at the end of each game. Many times, it takes a few days. And, it is work. So and so can't play Friday, but he's open Mon through Wed. But, a different so and so can only play Thurs this week. Yep, it's sometimes a juggle. But, if your players want to play, they make finding the game a priority. So, it usually isn't that much of a problem. But, yeah, I've always had all players show up or I don't run the game. This has been true whether I was running two players through my campaign (as I'm doing now) or a group or 8 or 12. [/QUOTE]
