Hell yeah! Never thought I’d see this mentioned anywhere. I’d love a modern take on this.

Board game or DnD club! I’ve met so many cool people at these things and it’s a fun hobby to boot! :)

Kobolds are so much fun to play. That said mine died 2 sessions into the game first time around!

Alcohol poisoning - drank too much the night before and can’t face the day. They’ll catch up later!

If you must have them with the party you could run them in a supportive role and simply buff the party where possible (bless, guidance) and keep them off the front lines.

If the players trust each other enough you could have one of them run the character in a similar way to lighten your load.

Beyond that others have suggested good ideas: shopping, a job from their holy order, helping someone in town are always classics.

You could perhaps have the guard arrest them for something and have a jail break as well 🤣

Yep, that’s the plan. Coming soon-ish hopefully!

Less links to articles, more user content. I realise this might be hard at this stage but certainty something to consider.

I plan on opening a few communities based on modules I’ve run to accumulate all the user ideas from those into one place, would be nice to link those up!
