I love doing this shit. It's REALLY easy to do especially if you have a couple extra throwaway emails.
It works best if they really need you in the group, for example if you are the only person playing a healer, or some other really essential party role. The best part is when you get the GM to base like the entire starting adventure hook around your character, so that he basically needs you there to start, then you flake out without even telling him.

You're the reason we can't have nice things.

Another thing to add to the list of reasons why doing character creation as a group in the first session is a good idea.

10/10, OP. I'd gleefully stab you in the throat were we to ever cross paths on a busy street. good show.

Which of his bones would you stab him with ?

I think this is something you can be reported with on Veeky Forums for this

You are a shit, and I hope bad things happen to you. But thanks for the squirrel, it amused me.
Matthew Baker
I do the same thing with online games.
Gotta love showing hype for a campaign only to drop two days before the first session.

It's never a problem, because I'm not a bad DM that builds scenarios around the existence of a single class or party member.
