[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9343260, member: 11"] I’m lucky that for the most part as GM I been blessed to have groups that were focused on the game at hand and pay attention even when something is not directly involving them because we all have a stake in the outcome (to varying degrees). This has not always been the case when I was a player in a group, where in one case someone was often on their tablet playing another game but then wasn’t ready to go when things came around to them. I was glad when that person’s character died and they chose not to return. I don’t care if other people are distracted as long as their distraction does not distract others and they know what is going on. If not, that is a reason to part ways in my book. My current in-person group are all people I socialize with outside of D&D and our spouses are all friends too, so when we gather for game night we are focused on the game nearly exclusively even if in general not every player is as deeply into it outside of the 4 to 5 hour session.
