Throughout the course of your game you will have players that will occasionally not show up from time to time. Preparing for handling those missing players and how the character, story, and treasure experience changes as a result are really important to define before this happens so players and DM are all on the same page with what to expect. In this episode of becomingDM John and Danielle go through some of the questions that you should ask about the missing player experience to help you define what works best for your table. Don't forget that we have a contest going on as we approach episode 100! Go to https://becomingDM.com/100 for details, prizes and how to enter!
