Message: <blockquote data-quote="nocanes" data-source="post: 1575885" data-attributes="member: 16158">Gamer distractionsI have a problem with players being distracted by each other. I have a maturity issue to some extent, not to mention that infrequent sessions lends itself to 'catching up time'. This can cause sessions to drag and something is needed to fill-in the possible distraction time. I'd propose (knock it down, if you like) a puzzle for them to solve in their 'offtime' at the table. The solution of this grants them a clue or personal bonus or access to greater use of a weapon. Let me know and realize that the puzzle should be time-consuming to allow a great deal of time to be filled AT THE TABLE ONLY. If they use 'between-session' (BS) time, that will present an unfair advantage to the busiest of us. Any ideas, let me know. As for the spirit of the thread, I'd have to say that an unincluded spouse is the biggest distraction. No other entertainment in our lives can't be paused (with Tivo, PS2, DVDs, PCs, et cetera) so this entertainment becomes difficult to translate. I can't tell my wife that her plans for the weekend are 'unimportant' compared to the 'bugs' that don't exist and those of which she doesn't even see an illustraction.I still love her more than anything, but I'm stating an example.-nocanes</blockquote>
