[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 7698517, member: 725"] As a DM I have used a laptop at the table to track high level complex 3E combat. With 5E at lower levels, not necessary! We sometimes used tablets for the rules, but we can often find the rules quicker with the physical book, so those went away quite quickly. I used to track my character sheet on my pda, but to much work! Once someone used a smartphone to use their charactersheet that they forgot (downloaded a copy through the cloud)... As for mobile phones... We got a political power house at the table who needs to be available 24/7 for the party, two guys have young kids, when their partners call/sms they need to respond, I have a very sick parent at home and I'm pretty much available 24/7 for IT support. So as long as the smartphone is necessary, it's OK, but no playing clash of clans during gaming sessions, you'll be bitch slapped upside the head. Often things go fine with this rule in effect, but things get annoying just before elections, but it's that or not gaming at all. We're grown ups we think we can handle this ;-) Twice folks had to leave right away do to trouble with one of the kids... [/QUOTE]
