Player cancelling aren't that of a big deal comparing to GM cancelling. In the first case you keep playing while shit talking about Bob, in the other, you have to change your plan for the evening

If all players cancel except GM, then does the GM continue the game and shit talk to themselves about the players all night?

Nope. I would never, ever do a thing like that. I've certainly never sat at my computer drinking beers and complaining about people changing plans at the last second.

They make a variety of solo RPGs, these days.

Shit talk your players while playing your own damn game, with blackjack and hookers.

A few of my friends are DMs and pretty much all of them (myself, a DM, included) pretty much just cancel the session if a player can't show.

That seems unfair to the players who were ready and excited to play. If i set aside 4 hours to drive to a friend's house and play games, and im told it's canceled because 1 person said they can't show up, I'm gonna be pissed.

I assume when people say "cancelling" they mean "I'm on holiday next week so can't play, sorry". Barring emergencies, who would be so rude as to cancel at such short notice?

Dam near every single person I have ever played with.

The issue is none of my friends are into dnd so I have to relay on roll 20 or some other online service.
