Of course many of the circumstances people encounted are based on choices but all choices cannot be considered equal by any stretch.The choice to have a child or a family or a job is NOT the same as making a choice to get drunk the night before the session. The responsble choices of spouse, family, work, children, etc. are worlds seperate from the irresponsible choice of getting smashed and bailing in the group just because you wanted to get a good buzz. I can see the irresponsible choices drawing the DMs ire, but not the choices that come with being a fully functional human being with commitments and responsibilities that transcend any leisure activity. For example if my son's birthday falls on the day of a D&D session....well screw D&D and let anyone who doesn't understand that be damned and screw the DM who would penalize me for being there for my son's birthday as opposed to playing a rousing game of make believe with my band of 30yr old male friends.I LOVE this game but sometimes I have to set the game aside for the sake of my real life sometimes because I want to sometimes because I have to.But I am the DM so I don't have to worry about that but by the same token I wouldn't punish my players for similar situations. If I did, I could fully expect the player to tell me to stick my DMs guide and my self-importance and stick it somewhere warm and dark and I would deserve it.Chris</blockquote>
