You know how like … a week ago I sent you an email saying “I’m back!”
Now I’m really back.
Right as my back was getting better I got hit with a nasty cold. And right as I was getting better from that it moved to my chest.
Life, y’know?
Make your game like that for your players. Not to the point of unfairness and no fun, of course. But think of ways to “hit your players while they’re down.”
Maybe they’re off in a dungeon and in desperate need of a long rest, so they hole up and set watches. And then a character gets a sending spell message that some family member is sick and they need to come Right Away.
Or maybe literally have a monster hit an unconscious player. That works too.
