The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL) The KGB Back Room D & D on new tabletop tablet ( I just nutted)

well I know the attention span of ADD gamers, and I can tell you that from my experience when I tell someone they were just confronted by a rather large and hungry Ogre named Bob, and they look up from their cell phone, or laptop with a blank look in their eye and ask how that got by them, and why is it happening, then I get called for being exsessively unfair, it pisses me off because had they been paying attention they'd have known why and how, and it certainly shows a great deal of disrespect to me and those who are playing, technology has it's place I am not saying it doesn't, I wouldn't be here if I thought that way, I just feel that it needs to be tightly controlled for some aspects of D&D. If guys are fondling their miniatures or checking football scores then their fucking with the program and should have just stayed home.

Rule #1

No laptops or phones unless on a break. If I was DMing and someone was on the phone or not paying attention, an exploding skeleton would jump out from around the corner and kill them.

Exactly, however then the whining starts....and then your just being "excessively cruel"

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but my games were so good, that people would put up with the abuse.
