Do you collect/paint miniatures and or rules because these are the periods and miniatures you are interested in, or because game/miniatures are what everyone else is playing.

Big Ian03 Jan 2012 1:09 p.m. PST

I play mainly for interest, and suffer the 'magpie' syndrome of 'oh, thats shiny and new….' ;-) Hence i have a huge lead pile….

Lentulus03 Jan 2012 1:11 p.m. PST

I collect and paint and put on games for my own interests. I will play outside them, but generally will not "buy in"

Delthos03 Jan 2012 1:15 p.m. PST

I collect/paint miniatures and rules for my interests.

I paint and almost never play, so I can't say that I'm really collecting to keep up with the cool kids.

For me. Those periods that I want to play, sometimes ones that I want to get others to play

For me but I will partake a new 'little' collection now and then if it helps out and I am interested.

Beowulf Fezian03 Jan 2012 2:07 p.m. PST

For me.

richarDISNEY03 Jan 2012 2:16 p.m. PST

For me. But with the idea that I will need to find players…

I've played for the George and Dragon (Bedford) pool team, the Collyer's School ESU debating team, and the Cumann Naomh Abdullah (Dhahran hurling club). And I was captain of the Exeter University Challenge team one year.

All the best,

John.

I used to play whatever the game group was interested in at the time, but then I realized I was going for long multi-year stretches of not playing anything I was interested in myself.

So I stopped doing that in order to concentrate on my own pet projects.

John;
Massachusetts Maritime Academy RFC, briefly the Newport News Stick Men after that.

You can keep hurling. If I have a stick in my hands, I want ice under my feet. And a nice big fat set of goalie pads.

Hurling is just crazy talk.

I'm the only miniatures gamer in a few hundred kms radius, so yeah I do it for myself.

galvinm03 Jan 2012 6:32 p.m. PST

Mine own interests.

To each his own.

Dynaman878903 Jan 2012 6:53 p.m. PST

My own interest, but that shifts based on whatever shiny new thing comes along.

Ron W DuBray03 Jan 2012 9:17 p.m. PST

For my own interests and fun.

skinkmasterreturns04 Jan 2012 12:42 p.m. PST

Why would I paint stuff according to other peoples desires rather than my own?

Grand Duke Natokina04 Jan 2012 1:25 p.m. PST

"Why would I paint stuff according to other peoples desires rather than my own?"

Because they might do the same for you?

Say a friend want to play WWII naval, and he was a good friend you think about painting an opposing force?
