My game night group fell apart after one guy brought his new girlfriend to our Gloomhaven campaign

We were six sessions deep, and she spent the whole night on her phone, asking 'what's happening now?' every ten minutes. Now we have a strict 'no new people after session zero' rule for any campaign. How do you handle bringing new players into an ongoing story?

Ugh, that's the worst feeling... I've totally been there. It just kills the whole vibe when someone isn't into it. Your new rule makes total sense, honestly. A one-shot test first is the only way to go now, saves everyone the headache later.

Our group does a trial run first, like xena_rivera63 said.

One-shot sessions are the best test run.
