Nothing DMs can do about that, though. Oh that and employees/bosses who have no respect for boundaries or work hours, and who feel like they can get away with it more when they send texts/emails rather than phone and actually have to talk to a human.But yeah, I don't think most distractions are within the purview of the DM. Some players don't have distractions, some do. Some can also multi-task so well that you might think that they're distracted but it turns out they totally aren't.</blockquote>
