Some of my players keep getting off topic and distracted by their phones and will just start doomscrolling mid session and its annoying. I will tell them to stop and they will only to get on their phones again in a few minutes. I've taken phones before and it works but I don't really want have to do that every single session. Does anyone have any advice?

Also I've asked what I can do to make the sessions more interesting but they usually blame someone else being on their phone or ADHD

Edit: forgot to say we play at the library

Like if you've ever seen the show Frieren thats the kind of random im talking about like spells that can help with your day to day life but that might also be useful in very specific situations. Is there like a list of spells like these or should I start brainstorming right now to try to make my own? Thanks

3 years on reddit already? Reddit is actually a pretty chill place

Idk have a slice and see ya later 🍰

I've looked around a bit and seen that wrapping paper with grids on the back is a good choice but I would prefer something that would fit in my backpack since I don't have a lot of room. Was thinking of getting some graphing paper, but I think the grids will be too small, any recommendations?

Also does anyone have any tips on what I can do to not reveal the whole map at once?

I have a few character sheets for the players (my friends) but none of them have ever played before any advice? I've only ever played once with a different friend group so im not the most educated on D&D. Also if theres anything I should get please let me know

I dropped my phone and my SIM card was just on and off working sometimes and then it wouldn't be detected by my phone. Eventually when wifi was available I converted it to a eSIM and it worked and I kept getting pop ups saying that my phone didn't detect a SIM card in the SIM card tray. The next day my eSIM randomly stops working. I haven't found anything that can open my SIM card tray yet

Anyone have any ideas why my eSIM isn't working?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G if that matters
