Is D&D a lifestyle for you?

[Henry]

It's a tiny, tiny part of my life....what was the question again??

Well, if the postcount fits...

It's a big enough part to be a part of my lifestyle. I make Geekish D&D references to friends when speaking sometimes, I play weekly, I spend at least a half-hour a day with my nose in a gaming book of some sort.

So, I'm DEFINITELY one of those stage 3 people WotC talked about.

I eat, drink and breathe gaming.

I live, dream and sleep gaming.

Hmm...I guess that's what I meant when I said I have "wandering thoughts about DND".

I am surprised I am the only one so far to admit it. Heck, I have other things that take up my time- work takes more of my time than gaming related activities in a typical week- but gaming's my bread and butter, my food and wine, my peanut butter and jelly.

he even invades the homes of fellow gamers.

and eats their dire familiars...just ask alsih2o

It's a small, but important part of my life.
I love to game. I have since about 10, but of my hobbies its third in line behind discgolf and climbing.

Dude, I was about to level. I only needed 14 xp. I had to do it. You would have too. You know it.

I picked "small but important part of my life." Every week or two, I have a D&D session with my friends. Even when I'm not playing, I spend a lot of time here at ENWorld, as well as studying gaming books.

does wearing an ENWurld T-shirt to work at the Federal government count as pushing a lifestyle?

I have a lot of things besides D&D in my life; indeed I have a lot of things other than rpgs in general in my life.

I love my rpgs, don't get me wrong, but I can go a couple weeks without doing anything gaming related. That doesn't happen very often (something gaming usually comes up on a biweekly basis at the least), but it's not as if I'd die from lack of gaming

I love to read (historical fiction, theology, history, fantasy, sci fi, general fiction, etc., etc.), I love to listen to music, I love to cook, I love to visit art museums, I love to spend time with my friends (many of whom are non-gamers) and play with my nieces & nephews.

Yep, gaming is important to me, but far from the be-all and end-all.

I don't think I was sure where to draw the line between the third and fourth choice. I Spend a great deal of my free time doing D&D; by free time I mean time not taken by work and family committments. I chose the 3rd choice because I feel that a (slight) majority of such time is spent related to D&D. I also spend a bit of time with non-gaming friends watching sports and so forth.

role-playing is one of the few hobbies i have, and luckily the only one that really costs any money (for the books). also, i've been gaming for over 20 years now, so i'd say it's a large part of my life.

Yeah, what he said.

My hobbies pretty much consist of RPGs, computer programming (usually gaming related), computer games (most of which are at least tangentally related to gaming), and politics.

Besides that, I have a wife and two awesome daughters that I try to spend much time with. I'm lucky, though, my wife both games and plays on computer games with me. Still, we try to do a fair amount of "miscellaneous" activities that don't involve gaming.

Of course, back before I met my wife, I pretty much lived and breathed gaming (D&D, specifically). I held down a job so that I could by books and I set aside one night a week to do something social, which usually involved a night of carousing (hey, I didn't look like a gamer geek -- I had a washboard stomach and a 300# bench press).
