Hey everyone, I’m DMing for a couple of friends and we’ve been playing the campaign for a year now. We started out as strangers that met over social media and grew pretty close. The only exception to this was my then best friend, who i invited to play with us. Fast forward to now, some personal thing happened between me and them and we dont really talk outside of DnD anymore.
And now is where i need advice. Recently ive noticed that they interrupt my game every few minutes to talk with the other players about out-of-game topics, like “i talked to my coworker about this and that today by the way”, and takes everyone out of the immersion to talk about their personal stuff. I dont know if this was happening before we fell out and i just didnt see it because i was giving them leeway or if this is a recent development, what i do know is that it really annoys me. Recently their character died in game and they made a backup character, rolled the stats with 2/3rds of the players, excluding me, and sent me the backstory like a day before the new character was supposed to join. Then when i tried to implement the new character into the story i gave them like 3 opportunities on how they could join, every time i heard back “no, my character wouldnt do that” (For reference i asked if they are in the town the others are visiting, if the new character would approach, and then if the character would join the group)
Ive thought about saying goodbye to them but im very afraid that if i do so the other players wont want to play anymore, as they all seem to get along really well with my ex-best friend. Now i dont know if i should just suck it up, keep playing for the sake of the campaign or if i should just accept the consequences and kick the person out.
I really need avice because this has been bothering me for quite some time now and i dont know what to do anymore. I cant tell if im just being a dick because of the feud between us or if they really are disruptive.
Please help, thanks!!
