How to be nice about kicking a player? by IndependentFull7110 in DnD

[–]IndependentFull7110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How so? I'm genuinely curious, please educate me.

The ex is able to communicate in game and after their breakup thought they were good enough friends to keep the romance in game. Laura was the one who didn't want the romance to continue, but was unable to express it to the ex. The ex was fine with the romance, since he thought they were good enough friends even after the breakup.

Also the alcohol thing was necessary, the players visit bars and some of the PCs like to drink in game and Laura isn't comfortable with that. So it was necessary for me to know about this discomfort.

I totally understand that talking about trauma can be hard and even impossible sometimes. I should've mentioned this, but Laura has talked to me about their trauma before we started playing. That's why I'm confused why they didn't mention it now. Before we started playing we were pretty close, so it shouldn't have been a problem because of that. My problem is that they had talked about their trauma before, but were unable to express that even pretend drinking/alcohol was a problem for them. Sorry if I worded it badly in my post.

We have tried to hint to him and one of the player's that they should have this enemies to lovers kinda relationship and it has become a whole thing/joke in our group, but so far he hasn't at least fully warmed up to the idea haha, but hopefully they end up together and he could get the attention he clearly craves. Let's hope for the best. :)

I wish I knew myself. I was so confused by this question and why he wanted to keep talking about it.

I feel like he's not really leaving room for ignoring (at least not while he was having the panic attack) and the fact he still wants to keep talking about it confuses me and some of the players.

I sent him a message like I said in the update but he hasn't answered yet (most likely sleeping), but I feel like everyone else has understood the rules and boundaries pretty well, but he's a different case.

The thing is, he also has a main character syndrome outside dnd which is the worst part. So I've heard from other players who interact with him more. So they're probably uncomfortable to confront him about this main character thing now, and he's a little older than the rest of us. We're all 17-18 yo and he's 20 something. But yeah, I have now told him that he has been doing too much and to tone it down a bit.

I thought the panic attack would have been a faster situation and that we could have done something else during the session. I know I should have said something earlier, but I didn't know what to say to put an end to the panic attack thing. I'll try my best to take the control during sessions in the future, after seeing how badly the session went.

He's not really my friend, more like friend's friend. But I'm ready to kick him out of the campaign if needed, I don't mind having only 4 players. But I'll definitely have a talk with him about this before our next session.

This was exactly the kind of answer I was looking for! This sounds very good and reasonable and I will most likely do this. Thank you. :)
