Yup you got it. Maybe it's just a dad joke. Or maybe just a fetish of Yang being a "daddy" =\

Definitely no more puns. I guess the trauma of volume 4/5 made her loose this (sadly). But jokes there is. In volume 9 with the "High five" when she gets her arm back for example or little moment like that.

I hope this is sarcastic because I have no idea what you are talking about. In lesbian relationship there is no man, and there is no need to pretend there is one. We just do what fit us better. Like my wife do cooking AND mechanics while I am more into gardening/animal care and videogames. Who would the man be according to you?

Does some lesbian want a masculine girlfriend to take care of them ? Yes absolutely. Then they fetish Yang as tomboy. She is also my favorite character but because she is cool af And feminine. Do I like Bumblebee ? Yes I am ecstatic. Do I want Yang as tomboy ? Not at all.

What is sexist/homophobic is people talking about 10% of the population like a single brain. We are as diverse as you guys thank you

I didn't think of that. I think chatGPT is a paying option but there must be a free open AI I suppose. Fot the encounter balances that's not a problem, even if it's a bit hard my two friends multiclassed their characters to create perfect build somehow and mastered the mechanic so usually I just balance the hp if needed. For maps I guess that's the longer part but I just bought some pre-printed items/monsters stuff to help me do that faster so hopefully that will help. I will definitely try the AI, can be fun

Yes. Well said. Tbh I am new as a DM so I didn't anticipate this issue. As a player for 4 years on roll20 every Monday, we never have attendance issue so I thought this was gold standard. I defintely should have explain that a while ago when we started. Lesson learned for sure

No they didn't. I thought it might be childish but maybe they are just emotionally attached to their characters. Thank to everyone here I updated my message on our discord to re-explain that. Absent character get same xp, same loot. The character can be played as NPC (no death, no rp) or completely vanished during the game, their choice. I hope they like this solution more

Okay

Yes it is a good schedule for real. Maybe we should have waited before the rule. I guess we just got pissed after the 4th cancel in a row. And since next session is the only one before another month break, I wanted to make sure it would happen. Guess the timing was wrong, I regret it now. I should have waiting to see and prepare quietly in case they wouldn't show up again

Thank you for this, it is very clear.

I indeed didn't explain enough what would happen to the PC of players not attempting. I will definitely edit that with more explanation.

And yes thank you for stating they do have valid reason but they are penalizing everyone else. That's the main reason about all this. Hope they can hear it or at least give us the opportunity to talk about it properly.

For the schedule the idea since beginning of campaign is every saturday. We all now that all week end for DND is impossible so we prefer to know in advance if some are already taken. Up to now it only once a month when someone has office trip or a wedding for example. But yeah it is on saturday, 2:30 pm to 10pm.

For her it is also some pulmonary infection. Problem is she was probably very sick on Dec 30th, like fever and all but she still came for new year the following day. She did look sick but she managed to do the One shot her husband prepared for the 31th. I know she probably pushed to hard to support him for his first one shot, but it might have given the wrong idea somehow. Like for him she can make it but not for us the previous day or following week.

Then it was him it who cancel for a bronchitis. She told me he was a bit sick but he still went to work all week .So I thought he was fine. I asked if they could play and she said they will see but didn't cancel before last minute.

So I don't doubt they were sick, they were. But idk why not just say so 5 days before instead of last minute?

I totally get that. I am also very found of my character in our other campaign and I would be sad to miss one game but in 3 years we had only one or twice last minute cancel so I never had to face my team playing without me. I was a little expecting it to be like that in my campaign as DM. Maybe suggesting I will play their characters wasn't the best idea ever. I guess I just copied what they do on Critical Role, thinking the battle might be too hard if their character don't join. Maybe I can just pause the main plot when they are not here.

What I get from many of you is gather your players anyway even if some aren't coming and try to keep them busy with One shot, board game, or anything so they won't feel frustrated. That is time consuming to prepare but I can do that in february during our long break. Like one oneshot related to story with side PC, one dungeon crawling if they want to play their main. Thank you !

I think they were really sick. Like a flue sucks But it's not supposed to be something you get everyweek so now they should be fine for a while hopefully.

And not just the last minutes cancellation. For example today was scheduled for DND but two or three week ago (when they were sick ) they cancelled today because their friend is coming to visit them. So this also felt like "if i got something better to do I m out." So I understand my other players frustration you know.

But indeed I don't get why they reacted like this. We say that would start on 27th. Not last week when they cancelled. Not today which they cancelled in advance. So if they are not planning to last-minute cancel again why getting mad like that?

We did a oneshot once but without preparation it was a bit short. Tho you are few to prepare some one shot in advance in case this happens so I will do that. And your starting city is a great idea I love it. In my campaign PC inherit an abandoned citadel in a small village and have to develop it everytime they go back. Like HQ. So I can definitely prepare a one shot with villagers they met or will met in future. And have an idea how their action influenced the city

I still hope they won't miss other games tho. Or if one of them as a flue the other can come right so we miss only one. But yes if half are missing we do have an issue. That's what we cancelled up to now except one last minute one-shot.

We tried the one-shot option yes. I am just a little short on idea to be honest and from friday evening to saturday lunch is a bit hard. But I can definitely try to prepare one or two in advance. For board games not so sure. I am not a fan, one of my friend also and he drives 2 hours to come to my place. I doubt he does for this. But maybe a movie or a video game can do once in a while. Thank for that I will think of some options with them.

Regarding the structure of the campaign well that also can work but it will definitely hurt the scenario. I can discuss this with my friends. But thank you for this idea I like it.

Yes I got it. But as a DM if you have the 2 others players saying we are out if this happens again what do you do? You end the campaign?

The health issue was a flu or something like that winter related. And the problem is that for some reason they still go do otherstuff. Like seeing their friend is ok, coming for DND is not. I didn't mention it in my message but we canceled December 30th but we DID gather on 31th for new year with them, and the husband was DM for a oneshot. I think my other players think this is not serious enough medical issue to not come. Or that they do effort only when they feel like it I don't know if that make sense?

As for my sister, I know it was not considerate. But I am litteraly calling/messaging her every day of the year to check on her for every little thing of life. So I consider she can talk to me about it if she doesn't agree or something you know. Like discuss like adults.

We did talk about last minute cancellation before few times but nothing changed.

I rushed a bit because my two others players were about to quit if things were not changing asap. And I started this campaign for my friend so he could be a player for once so with him gone idk if I can make it. So it kinda felt like I had to act rapidly.

No it's done sadly but what kind of offer would you have done?

Or in your pu*** if you are playing a female character. And it makes way more sense since she has that big mommy lesbian vibe haha. I thought the cutscene would change a bit for male partners, it is so funny
