I'm a baby dm and I'm having trouble with one of my players and could use some advise.
A little background
My group is made up of coworkers who are all varying level of friends with one another. 3 of the players are brand new to dnd, 2 haven't played since 3.5e, and only 1 is a regular player of all versions.
The player that is a problem is causing issue both in game and out of game with with my other players.
She is consistently going off and doing whatever she want, which I've been able to sort of manage, but the other players can't stand that she does these things in the first place because it can derail the the game for a good 10-30 minutes(we only play in 4hr sessions each week due to schedule conflicts) to get her back on track. She's also causing problems at work with the girls which has caused one of the girls to stop showing up to our meet ups because she gets so frustrated with her at work and then has to come and get more frustrated with her in our campaign.the girl who has not shown up the last few games is thinking of quitting because she's gotten so far behind everyone else and the story. The problem girl doesn't listen, and I'm worried that if I come off too strong to her It could cause problems at work or more tension between everyone. I need help, another one of players has said she almost feels like quitting because of this girl.
I'm at such a loss,I hate all this side drama and what it's doing to our campaign.
