Saul and Jolene were talking about when at a RPG table session, sometimes the group goes off the rails.  Not in game but at the actual game table.  Non game side discussions, players looking at their phones, players joking around out of character and many other things that players can do to disrupt a RPG session.      If you GM for any length of time this will probably happen to you as a GM or even see this as a player.  You might even be the player causing the table disruption.   Saul and Jolene discussed why this happens and what the GM can do to mitigate this from happening at your RPG table.      Saul and Jolene remember how excited kids(Saul's son and his friends ages 10-13) ,  adults joking around out of game egging each other on disrupting the flow and breaking immersion at the game table.  Saul and Jolene discuss these situations and others and how the GM and even a player stepped up and stopped this from continuing.    These things can happen and it is usually up the the GM to Control the RPG Table.   It was a lively discussion so Saul and Jolene decided to do an episode on the subject.        Thank you all for Listening      Web Art by Jim Foster      Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones       Music by Candy Ace, song, He's in Control    Available from Tribeofnoise.com    Used Under the Creative Commons License 3.0         https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
