My group has been together for three years and we play every week with very few exceptions. We're at the end of the Hexblade's major story arc and he's showed up drunk to two out of the last three sessions. Both time he kept insisting he was fine. I eventually booted him off the Discord and we just cancelled the session because he can't really have a big showdown with his evil father if he's not here and everything I had prepped revolved around that.

How should I handle this? He apologized the first time but this week he still insists he was okay and we're all over reacting. His speech and text were unintelligible. He's a close friend to all of us but there's got to be a limit somewhere.

I'm a basher trying to get into crawling. Specifically trail crawling through the Pacific Northwest so it gets steep and muddy at times. I'd like something readily upgradeable and repairable. I was thinking 1/10 just based on the size of some of the roots and rocks on the trails, and scale accuracy isn't something I'm concerned about. Any suggestions? I've been looking at Axial because my bashers are all Arrma so my batteries and stuff would all work, but that's not a requirement. Budget is roughly $500 but a bit flexible. I'm also open to kits I have to assemble. Thanks!

My players rescued an enslaved genie I thought for sure they'd kill and it offered them a wish. The cleric blurted out that she wished for a million gold. No other details provided. I had a lot of fun ideas like, the money was deposited into a high interest savings account in her name, but in Sigil... or 100M copper rained down from the sky and crushed everyone, etc. Instead the genie said she'll find 1g every day in her pocket, forever, and recommended she look into necromancy if she wishes to collect the entire fortune.

Can this be abused somehow? I thought way too late of doing the Time Warp with the Feywild and inheriting a fortune but my party is clever. If there's an exploit, they'll find it.
