Saturdays Playing D&D #1

First our Deva Cleric (as played by Jim) throws down some Astral Seal action, then I (subbing in for our missing player) do some damage and movement with our MIA player's Longtooth Shifter Fighter.

I used laptops for background music and quick access to the rules compendium online. I was also live tweeting the game most times.

I'm not too comfortable with people having laptops at the table. I know some folks will have their characters up, but I worry that they're prone to being easily distracted.

[Phelanar]

@Ogma01 It really kind of depends on the individual. I can multitask well and can have my laptop open and doing stuff without losing the thread of what's going on, but I know others that just can't.

[Dumezil357]

what are the stones used for??

[Phelanar]

@Dumezil357 The colored stones are to represent monsters. It's a bit easier to deal with for the DM since each monster can be a different color.

@Phelanar I designed a Shaman Native american character with stone tools and Atlatl, has anyone ever played one?

[inlife9]

@Ogma01 I agree. I may be to old school but I have not been able to get a feel for laptops & ipods ex.. at the table. I feel it distracts, me and the player with it. I also hold strongly that it's just a bit of a mood kill. I like players to enjoy the game like a movie, but then there are alot of gadgets in the theaters these days to...Ugh damn these newfangled devices.

I would need a lap top, my math and handwriting skills are horrible.

[sklenotic]

@Ogma01 Easily distracted? who? D&D players? NO!! you must mean someone else

[CrimsonZanian]

@MrToastOmnomnom More than likely thet are using an excel character sheet. Which is what me and my group use.

@Ogma01 Laptops are banned in my games.

[MrToastOmnomnom]
