[QUOTE="Herschel, post: 5981453, member: 78357"] It depends on where I'm at. In two groups none of us have any e-tools at the table. In one group, two may or may not have laptops. At LFR game days there's usually 21-28 people and I'll see three tablets and maybe a DM or two using a laptop. I admit I'm not a big fan of tech at the table, I think it tends to be distracting and take away from interpersonal relating. I also like my physical media. For me, DDI is what I want for e-content because the Compendium lets me look up anything I want in a pretty efficient way but sitting and reading is done from an actual book, and we pass books around when looking up things. It's old school, but I do like it. I have e-toys, but I'm probably not in the minority in that I don't like them for gaming books. And as far as gamers being UMC, I think that's as dangerous an assumption as thinking we're all part-time pizza delivery guys living in our moms' basements. A number of us have corporate jobs, etc. but I see a wide dichotomy in gaming groups and at public events. [/QUOTE]
