I don't get group who can't play when one player it missing. We all know that life happens. If a player miss, we play without them, if she GM miss, we do a one shot
If it's the first session on a new system. Then it gets weird.
Context: we did char creation in August. We haven't even gotten to session 1 yet.
First session is the easiest! You just meet the missing player in the next session. Avoids the forced “you meet in a tavern” trope.
Issue is the new system. It's not dnd. It's genesys(Legend of 5 rings). It's all samurai here (technically not yet)
I’ve heard of L5R, don’t know much about it. Are you saying the system makes it hard to add/remove players once campaign starts?
It's just such a different genre that it's easier to get as many people in at once to explain everything. 2 of the people are new to tabletops and the genesys system is a bit complex. Especially L5R.
