the joys of playing on roll20

That's admirable, most people these days can't stay still for 10 minutes without checking their phone or something.

I've not really had that.

I've had multiple 4 to 6 week long stretches where nothing happens because we can't get everyone together on the same day but I've never had consecutive sessions of nothing. Usually those doldrums sessions that never really get started and end before much happens are isolated.

That sucks man.

I've never had ALL of my players fail to show up and fail to give warning for a session.

>>54242798
maybe you's guys should play together if this is a problem?

Some people.

You need to check your circadian privilege you dayscum. Dragging them out when they would normally be sleeping just because it conveniences you is wrong and socially unacceptable.

Run a game at a time they'll actually be awake and alert and maybe you won't have to deal with players that do nothing

When did everyone get so busy?

My players are neither nocturnal, diurnal, nor crepuscular.

Stop being poor.

I hear you. My old friends game with me on roll20 and we schedule games far in advance and always meet on time. Even if we only get one game a month due to work and grad school it's good shit.

>>54242798
Are you sure you've adequately presented all their options?
