[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8373520, member: 11"] I guess I have a broad definition of "play" and the rules of play are so broad as to be non-existent or so idiosyncratic they can only be iterated not recreated - as when kids play "pretend" or smashing matchbox cars. I do agree that some "work" can be "fun" but is still not play - but some work (as teaching does, as many creative jobs do) require play. I do always look forward to prep and try to do at least a little bit 30 minutes to an hour everyday - whether it is just priming minis so they'll be ready to paint when I have more time or going through the cardboard and foam I collect to see what is actually worth keeping to reading a module in bed before lights out to consider if I want to run it. At times in my life when that stuff was not fun or a priority I just kind of stopped doing that stuff because it ceased to be fun for that time, for whatever reason. [/QUOTE]
