I'll be sure to do that. While I planned to have all the PC's know each other from living in the same small fishing village for at least 5+ years, it may still be worth it to have that kind of organic entrance. If not, I
will use that technique in future games.
I'm also fond of coming up with interesting ideas as to why a character is out of commission when the player can't come to game day. Many of my DM friends just write it off as too annoying to come up with a creative idea each time.
