Episode 274: When A Player Ditches Your Game, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

Recently Saul and Jolene were at a local Gaming Convention and at a RPG game and when the group broke for a quick dinner break, one player never came back. This has happened at gaming conventions and even in home game groups. What can a GM do to mitigate the affects of the missing player. Though usually more problematic at a Convention or in a One-shot RPG game there are things that you can do as a GM to make the session still go well. Saul and Jolene discuss what happened in their Star Trek game when the player playing the Chief Medical Officer did not come back from the break. Jolene discusses what she did when a key player in her Shadowrun 5th Edition game had to sit out in two session in a row. Why she cancelled one session but went without that character/player the 2nd time he had to cancel. Indeed it seems that for Saul and Jolene the fact that a character missing from the game might actually make the game more enjoyable since it requires more "thinking outside the box." Thank you all for listening! Web Art by Jim Foster Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones Music by Danny Allen, song "I'm Leaving"
