Why Your D&D Group Keeps Canceling (It’s Not a Scheduling Problem)

Scheduling conflicts aren’t really about calendars — they’re about priorities. Justin shares the story of nearly losing three close friendships (and Session 0 Studios’ own actual play show, The Pact and Boon) before realizing that every scheduling conflict falls into one of two categories: Capabilities Problems (miscommunication, logistics, missed texts) or Priorities Problems (misaligned commitment levels). The first is easy to fix. The second is the one nobody talks about — and the one actually killing most campaigns.

In this episode:

• The Pact and Boon story: how misaligned commitment nearly cost three friendships

• The two categories every scheduling issue falls into — and why only one of them is a “logistics” problem

• Three steps to get your group’s priorities aligned before it becomes a crisis

• A rundown of scheduling tools (Google Calendar, When2Meet, Doodle, the “everyone marks unavailable days” method) — and why none of them matter if priorities aren’t aligned first
