Community Table: Where Have You Been?

It's almost certainly going to happen that one (or more) of your players won't be able to show up at some point. Short of canceling the session, you have to come up with a reason for their character(s) not being there. So, I'd like to create a D30 table to answer the question "Where have you been?".

1. Illness. Roll on a table, or choose one.
2. Character is secretly addicted to drugs and has been (roll d6) buying more (1-3), or going through withdrawal and is no longer addicted (4-6).
   
3. Carousing. (See Jeff's Miscellaneum of Cinder) [Greg Gorgonmilk]

4. Visiting an old comrade. [Greg Gorgonmilk]

5. Researching/gathering rumors pertaining to a particular subject [Greg Gorgonmilk]

6. Hiding - roll on subtable for reason: 1. unpaid debt
   2. press gang
   3. supernatural creature
   4. paranoia - roll on Greg Gorgonmilk's table
   5. ex-lover
   6. ex-lover's partner / family member
   7. individual claiming to be offspring
   8. old comrade in town [Porky]
