How to navigate player drama at the table?
So I am heading into a new campaign with an established group of 7 players. I thought everyone and everything was going good and I got my last submissions today ....including a last minute change from one of the newer players, I'll call her El.
Right after she posted in our group chat about the change she sent me I got a DM from one of my more veteran players, will call her Nina.
Nina said she's upset that El gets to submit past deadline and make changes when I've pushed back on changed with her in the past. I told her there is a difference between making a slight change to your backstory before even the first session and wanting to change your race midway through a campaign...
Either way I heard Nina out and told her I'll be more clear going forward.
She then starts to go off telling me all the things that El did last campaign that annoyed her.
El got snippy after Nina tried to offer advice El didn't want.
El told Nina to wait her turn when Nina was speaking over her.
...all the things Nina was saying to me really didn't paint El in a bad light except maybe being less than gentle.
Nina was the only woman at the table before El joined and I can't help but feel this might be some pick me shit?
I really am unsure what to do.
I offered to set up a group call for El and Nina to hash it out but Nina doesn't want to do that.
I don't want to deal with the drama. I can't boot Nina, half the table would go with her. I don't want to boot El she's done nothing wrong.
