If I was a player in this game I would stop going. It punishes committed players to put them at the mercy of the uncommitted.

I’ll send you an update once it’s done. My group rotates GMs and systems but within a few months I’ll have them doing Gradient Descent.

I’m prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.

They’d need to be able to boost our morale with the litanies of hate. I did play in the Deathwatch RPG though which has a Chaplain class.

Wow yikes. You sound like fun at parties. Go find someone to care about.

For the record, I think there is a loneliness epidemic for both genders.

The worst part of this is the “This is part of the story”

This is just a toxic gender wars meme. Go outside, touch some grass, meet someone nice and move on with life. Memes like this come from and perpetuate the loneliness epidemic.

Sounds horrible tbh. A big part of the hobby is meeting new friends. This sounds like a good way to become socially isolated and depressed.

In my personal experience that’s much more difficult

If this happens, the RPG is too complex for that player. Play a simpler system.

I still play even if 2+ can’t make it. It will depend on your group but my group of 6 has 2 very flaky players.

The problem only happens when a group feels they need to delay if someone can’t make it. As a GM I have a set day/time and play without the missing players.
