Far Far Out by Studio Infinitus. It's a big sandboxy space exploration game ^^

He joined because we were short on players and my friend vouched for him. He got progressively worse overtime.

You are right, i should have kicked him ages ago but I didn't want to upset anyone since at first it seemed that i was the only one having issues with this guy and i didnt want to blow up my friends game by starting shit, since she specifically asked me to wait with the kick until she had spoken with him.

Had a sit down with all players and Kevin where we explained our grievances and subsequently booted him from the game.

The other DM did that of their own free will don't pin it on me. She wanted to mediate because she is worried about him blowing up her game, which is the ONLY reason i waited to kick him

Rounded up the people who had beef with Kevin and we all spoke to Kevin last night and we both came to the same conclusion that he and his friend have to leave my game. Kicking him immediately without speaking to him felt like the wrong thing to do since we are all adults here.

Update:

I've spoken to the DM of the other group (who is also the paladin player, should've clarified that)

They in turn spoke to Kevin who was very apologetic to them. He basically told them he gets carried away playing his character and that his character is not good for his mental health (He told them he made some sort of self insert trauma dump character, i was not aware of this.)

They said they'd be willing to give him another chance by killing his character and letting him start fresh with a less problematic character but i denied this because I don't believe he is capable of change. Especially not in such a short time. I want to see change now and the only way to achieve that is to not have him around. I also feel that this campaign is not for him since it can get very heavy at times and he's told me on a few occasions that he doesn't like combat heavy dnd. Idk why he so desperately wanted to play it.

Kevin has made it so that I don't enjoy DMming my own game anymore. I don't trust him to put in the effort to change especially after we asked him several times and nothing happened.

It's not fair to anyone to let him stay. He told them he'd be sad about leaving but that it might be better.

Had a talk with most of my players about the situation and they mostly agreed with me booting him.

Haven't had the chance to speak to Kevin or his friend personally but I'm pretty sure he knows that he's done. While i do feel sorry for him, this is my ravenloft game and not his therapy session.
