Starting a campaign with my wife, and some friends. My wife being the most of the fence and mentioned maybe missing a session or two. So I just want to have some creative ways in my pocket to handle missing players and what ways to make it entertaining!
Thanks
I was in a weekly game for preteen girls and their dads. Our standing rule for missing players was that their character was with the party but had terrible diarrhea and was off in the corner, shamefully pooping the whole time.
It worked for the game’s demographic. Fun and gross and gave everyone a chance to lightly tease the player who missed the last session.
I’m in a group with a bunch of folks that are professionals in their field in their late 20s to late 50s and it’s the exact same reasoning. It’s all in fun and isn’t thought about too much
