[QUOTE="MostlyHarmless42, post: 8008599, member: 6845520"] I feel as though this poll will end up being very skewed based on two factors: 1) if said person voting is a DM (whom sort of by definition must spend at least some time out of game preparing), and 2) the very nature that we are asking it on a web forum dedicated to the game, which tends to cater more towards hobbyists that tend to devote a lot of time towards said hobby. ...those caveats aside, I fall under the "a lot of time" camp mostly because between game prep, building monsters, browsing forums, keeping up with news related to the hobby, and discussing characters with both my players and just general I tend to devote almost three hours a day to the hobby, despite only playing about 4 hours each week. Of course the amount of time i spend also varies depending on my other hobbies and availability of money or things to do. Given the pandemic, and loss of my job due to it, there is much TO do other than job searching and scheme for D&D. My significant other and I are also nerds, so we tend to translate almost any story or life event into d&d terms as well. Like we'll claim that not being able to find a lost item is "failing a perception check" or try to class characters in movies/shows as if they were d&d characters, etc. [/QUOTE]
