Starting a campaign with my wife, and some friends. My wife being the most of the fence and mentioned maybe missing a session or two. So I just want to have some creative ways in my pocket to handle missing players and what ways to make it entertaining!

Thanks

    You can use a generic excuse that works for the table at large, but ideally you can find one in the character’s backstory somewhere. This just helps tie it all together a little bit, helps maintain better immersion.

    Some various excuses are visiting someone, be it friends/family/mentor/whatever, training time, some other responsibility (a cleric might be told by their order to go do whatever), medical issue, extreme bouts of sloth, basically being Batman, paying a debt, taking care of a small solo mission or whatever comes out of your ass that day.
