[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2605064, member: 19675"] [b]Trying to help[/b] Horse Feathers! I'm currently going through some burnout myself. I've been playing RPGs since 1977 and I love 'em...but my current group is plain vanilla 3Ed D&D only, and has been since the game came out- before then it was 2Ed & the occasional game of RIFTS. Once upon a time, I played in 4 campaigns at a time, each in a different system; its been 5 years since I've played a superhero or western or sci-fi PC- and even when I run a game, it must be D&D and nothing else. I actually stopped my last campaign because I had essentially run dry of good ideas for adventures (and other stuff like players moving out of state, admittedly). So I empathize with you EN! 1) Is it just D&D that is leaving you cold or is it all RPGs? Perhaps a change of game will do you good, and there are plenty of them out there. 2) RPGs and healthy living are not any more incompatible than reading good literature and healthy living. Instead of grabbing Jolt Cola and Tostitos when you sit down to game, grab a glass of O.J. and some trail mix. 3) I don't know you, so I don't know your other hobbies and personal preferences. Personally, I enjoy playing volleyball among other things- especially against good players. Its nearly as good exercise as basketball but has much less contact, so there's less chance of injury, and there's nothing like a 60mph spike to the face to sharpen your focus. I also get enjoyment and exercise out of playing catch with a frisbee or football, walking my dog or playing with her (she's a Border Collie, so wearing her out takes work), or playing in the occasional soccer or street hockey game (usually as the goalie). Hells Bells- even walking (especially in certain environments, like a museum) or biking can be good fun! [/QUOTE]
