StartPlaying will let a player skip a session or leave a campaign up to 24 hours before the next session's start time. But, life happens, and sometimes Players can't give you 24 hours notice.
What can you do as a GM if your Player wants to skip a session or leave your game with less than 24 hours notice?
Do I have to charge my Player if they give less than 24 hours notice?
No, charging your Player if they give you less than 24 hours notice they will be absent or are leaving is at the GM's discretion. You can find more information in our Refund Policy.

Less Than 24 Hours to Session Time
Right now, there is no way for a player to skip or leave a game if it is less than 24 to the session's start time. But, as a GM we do have some work arounds:
