Heh, great point. There is a such thing as D&D-based, single player CRPGs. |

4. The Guest Spot - keep his character level current with the other PC's (assume he is adventuring on his own when not with them) and just have his character show up whenever he can make it.
That's the way my old PnP groups would handle it, if one of our members were out to sea, vacation, previous commitments etc, that person's character would be omitted most of the time. If the player had been gone for multiple sessions, then, at the next session he attends, the player who was absent was granted just enough xp to make him level appropriate (typically this was within 1-2 levels if memory serves and it depended on the DM). If one session ended in the midst of a dungeon or some other large event where the players are stuck in the middle of something, the DMs would occasionally take him over and run him mostly just by the numbers...as the RP could never be true to the player who created him.
In the end, other than online games, there's really no good way to play with yourself.
