[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 6207988, member: 1210"] I am fortunate enough to have tons of awesome gaming in my life and pretty much always have. Currently we play an average of 2 days per 1.5 weeks (rough average); sometimes it's only one night of gaming, sometimes it's three. So tons of play time. I'm running 4e, and one of its best virtues is super quick prep time. So when I do a flurry of 12 hours of prep it might last me 5-8 sessions, depending largely on how many combats the pcs engage in. So prep to game is probably significantly less than 1:1. However, I do spend a lot lot lot of time reading or re-reading gaming material. (I just got through a complete collection of Wormy that I found online; my typical bathroom reading stuff might be an old Dragon mag or maybe [i]Frostburn[/i] or a 1e [i]Fiend FOlio.[/i]) I also do a fair amoung of non-specific-prep campaign construction. So if you add these two things in, I probably come out about 1:1. BUT! Add in time on ENWorld (and other gaming or semi-gaming related sites, like CM), and suddenly it's probably about 3:1. I spend an awful lot of time here. [/QUOTE]
