I was recently a bit surprise by seeing video of RPG tables where everyone has a laptop, and I even saw a thread about whether GM allowing only paper sheet are reasonable

However, on my experience (and I am part of big club, so I interact with a lot of players), some GM have a laptop or tablet especially in the era of .pdf books, but most player would use only paper.

So I am curious what’s your take on electronic device, is it fully banned at your table, a GM only tool, a stuff that some player may use for note taking ? Or do you use VTT technology like you would online when playing in person ?

    i have played in a few different models, and i love p&p & tablet games. i find laptops prevent some tabletop interaction and can detract from the interactivity of the players.

    when p&p and tablets get set down, they are flat - this is an awesome feature of theirs when sitting around a table. it also allows the group to more easily play on the couch or other places without a dining table.
