How often do you game?

**halfpintgamer1976** · 12-19-2006, 10:20 AM

I game at least once per week, but that's only rpg. I play board games at least 3-4 times per week and computer games quite often as well. Hopefully, I can recruit layers for a Shackled City game I'd like to run every other week!

Well, I don't get to play much, just the occasional at the dallas meet-ups. However, that may be because of my choise of type. As I prefer some sort of four-color supers, instead of the more common fantacy. Just not that many folk available in this area,

, for supers, that is. Even my play-by-post section seems to attract very little attention. It won't stop me from trying, though!!!

I'm lucky if I get in 1 or 2 games per year, and for the last 3 years, one of those has been at a semi-local (about an hour away in Roanoke) convention.

I was a twice a week gamer up until the middle of 2005 when I moved back east.....now getting a group going again, finding gamers here in the area has been a challenge.

I run my home game every other Friday, so twice a month for me. I also run a one-shot at the Seattle Meetup almost every month, but I hardly count it. It's usually with strangers, rarely do we complete the adventure because of the time constraint, and it's usually something I dragged out of Dungeon magazine the night before. But it's a whole lotta fun

Good gaming!

Let's see, how often do I play, well that all depends on the situation. Normally I can only get my players once a week. But sometimes they do show up more than once and I throw something together. But now I'm afraid that I won't even get that one break a week to escape since the weather has taken a turn for the worst here. Snow, snow, and more snow on top of snow.

My mother's side of the family lives in Michigan. Although the last time I have been there was when I was but a boy, I hardly have memories of there being anything but snow when I was there. You mean to say that you get other kinds of weather there?

Right now I am in three games:

Friday nights (Weekly) -- Shadizar
An experiment in improvisational and round robin roleplaying set in a Hyborian Age where Conan never lived. Eight players. Seven sessions old. I run this game.

Sunday 2:00 pm till 10:00 pm (Bi-weekly) -- Bow Street Runners
A Victoriana murder mystery campaign where free-wheeling investigators solve crimes, brush elbows with the supernational upon occassion and act terribly British. Seven players. Eight sessions old. I play in this game.

Sunday 2:00 pm till 8:00 pm (Bi-weekly) -- Midnight: Last Age
A desperate struggle against the desperation and darkness in an age of shadow and epic adventure. Seven players. Twenty three sessions old. I run this game.

Nice! That must be challenging planning for three games you run every two weeks. My creative meter would definitely get tapped.

I actually run only two of them. In the Bow Street Runners campaign I am a player.

And thankfully I have lots of good source material to steal from... It also helps that the Midnight game I wrote (mostly) some years ago. The Shadizar game is almost entirely improv (by design), so there really is no planning per se.

gaming every day, once a week, 2 times a month? boy i wish!!!!!!!
i haven't played i over a year. back in the day (with no wife or kids) we would play everyday for a month strait. or do all nighters from friday night to sunday night with small naps. now i will have to wait for retirment to do that again - 20 more years yeppie.

**Skunkape** · 02-07-2007, 08:28 AM

bigtony, I'm thinking you're looking at 25 more years before you can do that, unless you've figured out a way to retire at 60. If you have, share it, cuz then I'd be able to retire in 15 years instead of 20!

My weekly gaming group (D&D every Sunday eve for, ohhh, 16 years i think?) recently added a Weds Boardgame night. Great fun. Nice diversion from the RPG night. However, a new DM has emerged and started an Eberron campaign. Now everyone is engrossed in both his AND my campaigns, we now sling dice BOTH Weds & Sun, alternating campaigns! haha. Glad we bought all those boardgames over the last year... ahh well.

I manage to get in at least 3 sessions a week with the spontaneous pick-up session occasionally. Saturdays and Sundays are all-day marathon runs, sometimes reaching 12+ hours. I hate online games so I try to cram as much PnP time as I can into my week.

I just need to figure out how to make role-playing my job and I can game 40 hours a week. I would go for as much over-time as I could though.

As an engineer I can sympathize with you. I found differential equations and quantum physics easier to pick up than the new rules for grappling and attacks of opportunity.
