How often do you play?

[Reynard]

As player or GM, how often to you play an RPG?

Note, if you don't play often but play multiple games (go to one con a year, for example) it still counts of "annually" or whatever.

Only 3-4 times a year, unfortunately. Ten years ago? Monthly. Most of us have high school or college kids and are in some kind of leadership role in our respective fields, so coordination is difficult.

Generally somewhere between once every two weeks and twice a week.

I went with once a week, but really, I have a weekly group and one that meets twice a month, so it's a bit more than that.

I’m about once or twice a week but sometimes I’m like a half a dozen over a weekend.

Sometimes like the last few weeks those weekends come in threes.

I play once a week, where I’m the DM. I’d love to join another game as a player but unfortunately I haven’t found a game that fits my schedule.

I have a weekly game that meets Tuesday or Wednesday depending on the time of year. 7pm CST. This game meets regularly, we have 4 1/2 players and we don't cancel unless we are down more than 1 player. I'll run for 3 depending on the game, PF1/PF2 no, but Savage Worlds or WHFRP? I'll run with 3.

I have an intermittent Friday Night FLGS open table game that meets maybe 2x a month. This game depends entirely on if I got time to prep for it that week and how drained I am by Friday evening.

I don't get to play. There are no other regular GM's in my group. Every once in a while someone will run a one shot or something but less than 1x a year.

During the pandemic, I was in 4 games a week. Now I'm in 1.

My schedule is a bit insane (but I consider my gaming time to be part of my job).

• Empire of the Petal Throne (Player) - Weekly - 9 years
• Neoclassical Geek Revival (Player) - Weekly - 8 years
• B/X D&D (Player) - Bi-weekly - 4 years
• B/X D&D (DM) - Bi-weekly - 3 years
• Doomslakers (this group changes DM and game system after every adventure) - Weekly - 5 years
• D&D5e (DM) - Weekly - 6 months

It was a lot more insane with four more games in there during peak pandemic when I was also single, so I basically spent all my time for two years gaming & drawing maps. I finished running a 4 year long Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1e campaign (the full Enemy Within campaign cycle with a bunch of side adventures) last spring, and had a Wednesday group much like the Doomslakers group where I would run an adventure using one rules system for about two months or so, then take a one week break, then launch a new adventure with another rules system... We played Top Secret, Star Frontiers, Cyberpunk 2020, Cyberpunk Red, Those Dark Places, GOZR, Troika!, The Black Hack, and a few other games over the two years that I ran those.

Ditto. One campaign is every Wednesday evening, another is every other Saturday.
