((Jeez, I was beginning to think this was dead which woulda sucked since I liked it. So, uh who's turn to post and has a consensus been reached on dealing with the playerless characters? (pretend they're there, don't mention them and let them fade off, dramatic seperation that leaves their fates uncertain, etc?) I think the last one could even work well to get Blobby into the group (joins with group as dramatic seperation occurs or something.)))
