How do you run or play your games?

The constant distractions would annoy me, so I'd probably end up playing WoW or leaving. But if they can have that way, good for them.

You couldn't end up playing WoW -- it's 2002! WoW doesn't come out for two more years! The FLGS might have 802.11b Wi-Fi, but I doubt it. If you're SOTA, maybe you have a BlackBerry to keep you busy. Forget 3G, though.

I just came from my local gaming store for the first time (just moved to the area) and witnessed what I would consider a fiasco of a gaming session. The DM had no materials, he was "winging" every bit of it, as far as I could tell. Half the players didn't have character sheets...

I believe that's called a LARP... kidding

Nah, but seriously, to each his own. I'm with you - probably not a game I'd join in, but if they were having fun...

Well, I've become infamous for my "winging it" with only a loose idea on what's going to happen... and there is a lot of joking going around the table.

Case in point: during today's session, the minotaur PC met an apothecary for information, and the apothecary wanted a piece of the minotaur's horn as it is something of an Aphrodisiac amoung Eladrin women.... prompting the inevitable "horny" jokes. The same apothecary promised a fortune if the minotaur would be willing to part with a tooth or two - it turns out Minotaur teeth are very valuable among the older population of Eladrin men, for certain reasons...

Prompting the halfling to exclaim "geez, you're like walking Viagra!"

...And really, I'm okay with that.
