| Mar 19, 2012 at 23:24 | comment | added | TREE | @psr our game is lucky to meet monthly. "Homework" creates email chatter that is good for the health of the game, in general. I can't tell the asker what will work for his game, I can only say what did work for mine. This isn't a recipe for a game, per se, it's a bunch of ideas that might help. (in a sense, this isn't an answerable question, although I think it's incredibly valuable. Our group would have benefited from this discussion if it existed a couple years ago) | |

| Mar 19, 2012 at 18:47 | comment | added | TREE | @wax eagle I think that's the most contentious part of this question, and it really will vary group to group. For my group, it has worked. We also cooperatively figure out when to play; we don't have a preset schedule. So people have multiple chances to get in. Plus, as the GM/tiebreaker, I will prefer a date that players who have missed sessions can make it to. | |
