Some comments in other threads about spending habits on rpg material made me wonder what sort of relationship there was to spending habits in proportion to actual playing time. I mean, everything is relative so it's hard to look at a single number without context... (obviously, publishers and all are just interested in how much is spent total. but if trying to guage how much is "too much spending" well that needs a comparison).
So, curious, what is everyone's ratio of gaming materials to actual play time for the past 6 months?
1) Estimate how much you've spent on gaming material within the past 6 months (leave it in whatever currency you use for your region of the world)
2) Estimate how many game sessions you've actually gotten to participate in over the past 6 months. We'll call a game session any single get together with others for the centralized purpose of RPG. For the case of online/email games, they do count too, so let's say a weeks worth of an online game is worth one game session. -- obviously, there is a question of judgement here as to what should be considered one session... when in doubt use your best estimations.
For me:
(yes, sad but true. i haven't gotten to play much at all so it's mainly been for reading)
$150 : 4 game sessions
So I would classify myself as spending too much (I mean, what, almost $40 spent per game that I've played in 6 months... that's a lot)
How about the rest of you, what are your ratios?
