D&D General Did I ruin my DND Game/Group

[Zanganorn]

yeah we all like him, its just that were here to play dnd and not wacky fun times though that is fun. And i talked to him recently about it and he was saying that he felt useless since our dm doesn't like combat and is slowly phasing it out. Were a paladin, bloodhunter, warlock, artificer, and hes a fighter and so he feels as though he has become kind of worthless.

Just don't invite him. He obviously doesn't want to do it. When he said "I won't do Roll20." The response should have been "Okay, we'll play without you."

Hes playing along now but I think it was due to our dm threatening him. but we will probably not invite for the next campaign

I've had this kind of player a few times in my years of DM. They are very toxic and have the potential to destroy gaming group. Friend or not, I usually make it clear that some behaviors are not accepted at the table and that "their fun" should not impede on the "fun" of others. This is a gaming group where every single person is responsible to make sure that everyone have fun at the table. This is not a competition or a place to show off.

If that person does not want to understand or is not ready to put on some good will, then I will (and often said) bye bye. You're not welcome at my table anymore as a player.
