[QUOTE="Hex08, post: 8729536, member: 7029595"] I have to disagree here. While playing D&D forever may appeal to some, I am pretty sure that would drive me from the hobby. I have been playing D&D since around 1981 and finally abandoned the game after 3.5 for Pathfinder and abandoned Pathfinder (as a GM anyway) shortly before 2E was announced. I still play the occasional Castles and Crusades game but most of my enjoyment comes from playing a variety of games and systems. I also have a reasonably sized collection of board games, not because I am afraid of missing out, but because as much as I love board games playing the same one forever would bore me to tears. Rather than a foible, variety, in my view, is strength and gives you the chance to exercise different mental muscles. Luckily, I should be able to retire in my early to mid 60's (about 10 years). I have a decent 401k and was lucky enough to inherit some money. As long as I don't become a full-blown alcoholic and waste all my money on booze I should be ok although it will be tighter than what I am used to. For a long time I considered moving to another, cheaper country and giving up my US citizenship to avoid the insane taxes expats have to pay but moving so far from friends and family doesn't seem worth it.
