A general tip for the person hosting this week's RPG session: Have some alternative games ready. Last time, out of our group of 7 people, including the DM, only 3 came to my place. We usually play with at least one more person, so last time, not enough people came together due to scheduling conflicts. Three people were unable to come, one of them declined pretty much last minute. With too few players, what was to do now that we had gathered?
We didn't even touch D&D.
Instead I introduced my friends to Mahjong, we played some Settlers of Catan, lounged around, and finally played Wii. Our RPG session turned into a general games session. We still had lots of fun, people didn't come to my place for nothing, and our DM was able to save what he had prepared for when more people got together again.
Having alternative games - board games, a deck of cards, a game station - allows for people to gather, and still turn an afternoon into something worthwhile if things don't work out as planned. We were meeting to play anyway.
