Message: <blockquote data-quote="AaronOfBarbaria" data-source="post: 6742742" data-attributes="member: 6701872">I could honestly handle a few hours of gaming (3 or 4) every night of the week if I had players that were available that often, and so long as I was able to split those nights between different campaigns and/or systems I would never suffer burn out (well, that's more of a "I haven't yet in the decades I've already done that in, so if I do get burned out it is after some as of yet unmeasured amount of time" than a real "never").That works out because I am basically a male housewife with no children, so I have the stress-free time to think up wonderful gaming ideas, and no hobbies hold my attention for long unless they happen to benefit my gaming (painting minis, writing campaign setting material, creating hand outs and game aids, reading rule books, etc.), and all of my players (spouse included) place the appropriate priority on gaming - which is to say that if there is a choice to make between showing up for a session or nearly anything else besides sitting home doing nothing, they choose anything else (going to a concert, visiting the local fair, going on a date, spending time with a less frequently seen friend, or even just taking time to play videogames, and so on).Of course, that means that my gaming schedule has waned from the 5 nights a week that it was last year to 1 session on the schedule for Fridays (used for alternating sessions of D&D and Shadowrun), 1 session that switches between Wednesdays and Thursdays as needed for player availability, and 1 session that happens only in weeks when my wife, one friend of ours, and I who watch various TV shows together have found enough time throughout the week to watch all the shows and still have 3-4 hours to play.Such "low gaming" times, as they have come to be considered by means of comparison to my most commonly held schedule, have only one downside: I have 3 more D&D campaigns and 1 campaign each of Exalted, Dark Ages Vampire, New World of Darkness, and Savage Worlds Super Heroes that are sitting ready to run and constantly growing more and more notes of what would be cool to have come up in them.</blockquote>
