[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 5305874, member: 59082"] I was thinking about how much time I spend in online forums such as this one, browsing websites, reading game books, buying books, etc, and how when it comes down to total number of hours spent [I]thinking about [/I]or [I]planning for [/I]or [I]reading [/I]or doing anything RPG-related that is not actually playingfar out-weighs the time I actually play! I'm sure there are other hobbies like this but I'm guessing RPGs is especially egregious in this manner. I run a twice-monthly game session in which we average about 4 hours per session. Occasionally we'll pick up an extra session but more often we'll miss a session so that we probably play about 20 times a year, or 80 hours total, or approximately 1.5 hours a week. How much time do I spend per week doing something RPG-related other than play? It is hard to say for sure, but I would guesstimate about [I]10 hours [/I]a week, maybe more. Some weeks it will be none, some it will be 20 hours, so I'm going with 10 as an average. This means that I spend about [I]six times as much time [/I]"non-gaming gaming" than gaming. What about you? I'll throw in a poll for good measure. [/QUOTE]
