Regarding distractions during your gaming session... I have found that outside
observers and the telephone are the two worst distractions..... having to
answer someone's questions every step of the way is quite annoying, and as a
result of games being delayed for hours due to the phone, I turn off the
answering machine, and turn off the ringer on the phone. Inside jokes also are
a GM's worst nightmare... Luckily, I have eight responsible players who take
the game somewhat seriously. On the flip side, I have EIGHT players, so
sometimes the Nintendo or Magic:The Addiction is a welcome addtion so 7 people
don't get bored and leave while the decker is jacked in. ;-)
