I stayed friends with 3 of the four and even ran two campaigns - 2 players each for a while.  I did eventually loose one friend of 12 years, but whether it was from gaming problems or his depression it was hard to say.  More recently I moved cities and formed a new group - two people in the group started butting heads after a few weeks, and when the newer of the two said he was leaving I thought about it, checked with the other players and asked the one I had known for 3 months to leave instead.  It was agonizing but the player that left was a borderline troll, and a needy friend.When I asked him to leave I stopped communicating with him.  Advice - If you want to keep your older friend I would suggest it is possible, you just need to show him that he is still included in your life, just not your game.  as for the game - I have had problems with two player games, I suggest advertising in local gaming shop, clearly emphizising your style of play -and do trial runs before inviting people to play full time. And if you start more than one new player starting a new campaign is more fair than continuing an old one - as the new players will be second fiddles.</blockquote>
