I have great respect for Piratecat and the members of his group, having played with most of them, but the "no out-of-game comments" would never work with our weekly group. The out of game comments often add to the overall humor and atmosphere of fun. While it is an occasional distraction, it also helps with the social aspect of a gaming group. My players are long-time friends, and we have been running a continuous game for 21 years now. Friends also sometimes need to talk to each other. Last December the father of a player died unexpectedly. After about 10 minutes of playing at the next game it became obvious that he needed to talk instead of game, which is how we spent the rest of the night. I consider that one of our finest moments.
