ghosted character while missing sessions

No, but I actually like my players.

Their PCs are basically in stasis when they miss. I balance this out by only rewarding experience to those that show up.

>What the fuck do I do /tg/?
Kill them all, OP.

Roll with it mate it's a first time GM and you did miss two sessions in a row.

Thats bs. Have the DM undo that. Having someone rp for you if you miss, and have let the group know in advance is good helps w the immersion of the experience. But letting something serious like character death happen is bs.

I like >>54009877 idea. Characters in stasis.

Ps sorry for bad flow of post posting from phone

>miss 2/3 sessions
reroll and thank them for welcoming you back

If you're using D&D or something similar, it's better to change the xp calculation, while still keeping everyone on the same xp count:
>encounter reward/present players

I don't really see how punishing players for circumstances that may be out of their control and unbalancing the group would enhance the campaign?

Just roll up a new character, chuck a hissy fit like an entitled child, or find a group that is explicit about what everyone expects to happen when people have real life interrupt their ability to play.

I would laugh if I rocked up to a session and my character died while I was gone the last few sessions, and have fun making a new one.

missing players have a autopilot default that i go with. The Warlock is too drunk to care, the arcanist is having a psychotic break, cleric is focused on divine messages, ranger is tripping out of his gourd on psychedelic fruits, or the sorcerer is busy getting plowed by anyone she can find.

I play it like darkest dungeon, they are releasing stress. If last session has them somewhere where they cannot totally escape, I have them hang around until they can. If there is combat, I have them fight, but they cannot die unless everyone else goes down. The only time I broke that rule was when I took a break and called the player to fill him in, and informed him that death was a possibility for an action the party was taking. He said go for it, though i never had to actually kill him.
