[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 9293644, member: 82524"] And being on call, would you think it would be reasonable to be told you can't have your phone at the table unless it's for your character sheet, which is what started this whole discussion. I don't know what you're on call for, but I've got people who have patient who might need them and an electric company whose software might run into an issue that only three people in the region can deal with. Heck, I've got some elderly family for whom I'm the only point of contact. But no, I guess those aren't as important as keeping our games of pretend 'pure' circa 1997. The reaching for justification here was the whole 'darn kids and their phones' rant as if phones haven't been a necessary parts of a ton of people's professional and personal lives for more than two decades now and are still a passing fad to be shouted down.
