I've been playing 5e with a steady group of friends for a good many months now, however some of us who are more involved in the game have noticed others constantly chatting, to be fair, over d&d related topics, even ingame topics the majority of the time. However their discussions seem to be occurring when others are RP'ing with the DM. Almost as if they do not care, like they think the situation doesn't concern them however IC they are present and involved in the story. Problem is even if you ask people to be quiet OOC it just seems to be a regular occurrence every time we meet for our monthly session. Now I do not DM the story, and I am by no means the perfect PC but I am an experienced roleplayer in comparison to a few there so I help out others who haven't played before. but seeing as we are all friends and everyone raves on about how much they enjoy it, whittling the group down isn't really something I want to happen. The DM's story is excellent, plus we have all helped to forge the fantasy world it is in, hence their constant discussion, but they just do not truly seem to be getting fully involved when we play. As a PC it is frustrating to a degree as my friends have pockets of great gaming and immersion but then slump back into a casual chat, especially when they have done 'their bit' in the story.If anyone has any tips on how to try and encourage others to keep quiet and actually get involved in the game it would be very much appreciated. As our group of 7 has proved to be really good so far, clearing dungeons and leveling up, yet when it comes down to the interactions between characters it sorely lacks. But the potential is clearly there, it could be something that comes with time and experience but any help is welcome. Any suggestions of how to shut these guys up and get them involved?</blockquote>
