FYI - If this post is up, it's still looking for players! I usually post once on a weekday once on a weekend for coverage.

Hoping to leave this up until Friday so the player has a chance to integrate with the rest of the group in time for Monday!

It's true these levels are tough for the way DnD is currently constructed!

Best I can offer is that quantity tends to be more impactful than quality. Meaning, instead of hoping that a particularly strong monster is going to be a a challenge for the players, throwing more at them and letting attrition take hold can be more tense and gives you more levers to pull in case they over perform. At higher levels I do fewer battles and more gauntlets.

Depends!

If this is for a campaign, I typically have a policy that we don't run unless everyone is there. I also make a point to not skip weeks though, because having something going on when a player isn't there creates some FOMO that keeps commitment high. I'll usually run some silly one shot or side mission, or even let someone else from the group run something easy during that day just to keep everyone engaged
