I understand you do not normally allow online stores to promote their websites in these forums, but at ChumbaToys.com we are going to be donating 10% of all...
Thanks for this give away. In my judgment, more folks need to step up to the plate for this. I have donated to the red cross, but I also placed a fairly ...
Just a question, a sort of poll question. How do you handle a Player being absent from a session? For my groups, we typically cancel the session. Lately,...
We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. GAGA Game Day Date: Saturday, September 3, 2005 Time: 12:00PM - 5:00PM EDT (GMT-04:00) Greater Attleboro...

We almost never cancel the session unless it's a very small group (3 players with one missing isn't much of a group) or more than one person cancels (or if...
... I think some of that depends on a) the size of the group and b) the context of the particular session. As an example, I'm in a group that typically has 5-6...
... Do other gaming groups generally schedule make-up sessions? I'm in one bi-weekly RPG where, if we have to cancel a session for whatever reason, the GM...

... I guess it depends on your group. Given that cancelling a session and sticking to the schedule means a month between sessions, with a corresponding loss of...
Well, I GM for a group of 3 players in pretty character-focused game so I can't imagine running the game w/o a players. But if it was becoming epidemic and...
... If one person can't make the session, I run it anyway; if two people can't make it, we play board games instead. People who aren't there get no XP for...
... As someone in David's latter group, I should also add that the players have a responsibility to work with the GM on this. When I know I can't make a...
... True, it is harder to keep in mind what's been going on after a month, compared to 2 weeks. In a perfect world, we wouldn't have to work and could game...

Truly, Brant is a cruel and vengeful god in that manner. Rachel ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Indeed. Brant is a harsh master. But it did make me laugh out loud. ;) It's the story interruption aspect that's annoying me more. I hate having to come up...
Yeah, our weekly Wednesday game meets a lot more often than our "whenever people can make it on the weekends" games. However, unless your game is intensely...
... Well with my group it depends on the actual group size, what the current game sitiuation is and what characters are involved. Generally I use a rule of 2 :...
... It depends on how integral the character is to the current plot. If I can come up with a reasonable explanation for why the character would be unavailable...
... Just have them be quiet automatons, doing whatever is necessary to play their part (and defend the party when necessary.) ... Yeah. Find a day and time and...
... This right here is a good argument for having concurrent plot lines and multiple PC-attachment to a given arc where possible, to avoid that. Not to mention...
... Yes but that means in some cases that there are stories that just can't be told, because they center on a single character's abilities or goals to ...
... I've had campaigns that came to reasonable endings... others that ended in disaster (from all characters dying on up to and including worlds dying), others...
How have some of you handled this? Right now I have a player who missed last session and I had his character kidnapped, which is pretty standard, and the other...
... I'd usually play the missing character myself, but vary the XP depending on wether the player had given me any notice or not. Usually, no notice = no XP,...
... I'm not sure why that's necessarily true - my point is that if you bundle those stories with other stories, if one of them comes to grief, it doesn't...
... For games with 4 or fewer players, missing a player usually means we cancel the session, for one or more of the following reasons, depending on the group...
Sometimes, it probably better if Joe the Paladin sits in the back in says nothing. My old group, we'd just carry on, witht the DM running the character more or...
