Despite there being no show today, I thought I'd stay on topic. That is to say, my topic is nothing. Specifically, the nothing you get when you don't have a session of your favorite roleplaying game, and end up having to skip one or more meetings. As we all know, games can cancel for several reasons. Maybe the GM has something come up that they can't avoid, or maybe too many players call out of the game for the GM's liking, or it could even be a planned absence as people go to take a vacation or just a break from the game. However, we should be careful of a break in regularly scheduled gameplay. if an exception can be made once, it can be made many times, and if that happens you quickly end up just not having a game altogether. That said, here are a few handy tips to help prevent campaigns falling apart over breaks and keeping continuity going despite an absence.
I'm sure there are many other good tips for dealing with this situation, but these are the ones that I make use of and that come to my mind when writing this. Hopefully it helps you moving forward with your own games. And if any players are reading this, do your best to make sessions, and if there's an absence, try to get those conversations going with your GM and fellow players so that people stay engaged and so that you can transition smoothly into the next session.
