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

I'm running a mutants and masterminds game that runs 1:1 with real time so a week between sessions is an in game week.

When someone can't make a session it has been explained away as their character being in the hospital or off on their own mission doing something to help the party with the central narrative or their own side quests. I may have them roll a few things over text, but in general they get something out of it to feel like they have contributed to the story.
