/tg/ I wrote a session with a big plot point being around one character, session starts in two hours and he just called saying her he couldn't make it. What the fuck do I do?

5e, level 11 campaign, sorcerer, bard, fighter, paladin, artificer.

>>46355502
What's the next step?
>>
>>46355557
switch to shadowrun or 40k
them players need some game blue balls relief.
>>
>>46355463
Play Everyone is John with the people that can make it instead.
>>
>>46355463
Play a backup game.
>>
Improvize.
>>
>>46355463
Introduce a new character to replace her that is basically her but not her.
>>
>>46355891
how do you know its a her?
the player is a dude.
dudes can be plot hooks.
>>
>>46355908
>her but not her

He's saying write in a trap equivalent, of course.
>>
>>46355908
Yeah it's a dude
>>
>>46355908
Those are called male escorts
>>
>>46355961
kidnap the player, others will have to rescue him, when he comes back next session just say, "you can't do shit, as you're currently being held hostage."

boom. passive aggressive revenge
>>
What's the current mood of your campaign?
How intense is shit right now?
Where did our party leave off?
Briefly, what did you plan?
We can give you ideas if you give us info.
>>
>>46355463
>I wrote a session
LOL why? Why do people think that scripting out an entire game ahead of time will ever work out?

Just make some NPCs and locations and then wing it.
>>
>>46356345
Have you considered that maybe that's what he did or that his players enjoy campaigns on rails?
>>
>>46355961
It's OP's grammar it is a shit.

> just called saying her he couldn't make it.

I couldn't work out what the fuck it was.
>>
>>46355463
Sounds like my situation OP.

The answer is to improvise a shitty, dull session now and then never come back to it. Your players have lost interest and there's nothing you can do to sway them in almost any case, even if they're close friends or whatever. Nip this one in the bud and wander off to Roll20 or something where at the very least the players went out of their way to play a game with people.
>>
>>46355463
What the fuck is going on in OP's picture?

>There's a guy with his pants down
>he's crapping into a cooking pot
>his wife is crying to heaven
>Why does this curse of pooping afflict us at every meal!?!?
>>
>>46355463
>I wrote ... a big plot point ... around one character

This is why you never do that without a plan B.

Well, there's always...

should I recognize that girl?
>>
>>46355463

Tell that player that you built an entire session around their character, and that you're disappointed that they couldn't come, because you put a lot of work into making something fun for him.

For your other players, just use a random dungeon generator and send them on a little crawl. I'm sure you can find some way to tie it in.
