Sorry for my absence the past couple days – I’ve been out of order with some sort of nasty flu bug. Had to cancel D&D, so you know it’s serious.
So welcome back! There are a lot of links, so I’ll keep this short:
Think about how you welcome your players back at the start of each session. Do you recap or do you let them? Do you have a stock phrase you use to let people know the Session Has Begun?
Whatever you do, make sure you give it some thought and do it intentionally. Most things are better that way.
