Trying to track if there are any trends in areas people have moved away from gaming over the years. I haseberal areas like Ancients where my interest ebbs and flows but the one topic that I used to be dedicated to and have now lost all gaming interest in is WWII ! Anything like that for you? |

Ancients and back of beyond, although I still enjoy reading about both! |

It ebbs and flows according to…whim…and fancy… |

I didnt think of it, but yep, 40k for me too! Im still selling off the minis & books! |

WWII was one of my main periods and it's been on the backbench for a long, long time … |

I may have given up on Warhammer Fantasy I dislike the latest version and I simply do not play it anymore. My interest have been drawn toward historical and VSF gaming. Right now I am taking a hard look at my current collection of minis and trying to decide what will really keep my attention and will find rewarding for many years to come. |

D&D, roleplaying in general. Does reenacting count? If so, then participation in the Society for Creative Anachronisms. |
| Shagnasty | 11 Jul 2012 5:10 p.m. PST |
Ancients and Napoleonics. |

I got into miniatures gaming through WRG Ancients. I doubt I have anything left, beyond a few unsold units or three.
I had HUGE armies, too. |
| Schogun | 11 Jul 2012 5:28 p.m. PST |
Pulp, Victorian sci-fi, Colonials. Went in big, never happened, now no interest and selling everything. |

Mine are more "fortune's wheel" – here today, gone tomorrow, back in a couple of months. Some things get added, little gets dropped. |

15mm Modern, I think perhaps it hits too close to home.
I am getting into Air War Korea, as my next project. |
| recon35 | 11 Jul 2012 8:03 p.m. PST |
RPGs. I don't have the energy to invest to make it fun. |

kreoseus, your second choice nearly got me into big trouble. I was busy laughing my ass off about it when my wife asked what was so funny… |
| kreoseus2 | 12 Jul 2012 3:14 a.m. PST |
TJ, just blame me, I'm a few hundred miles away so am safe from wifely anger…. |

As a young lad I used to be a big fan of Napoleonics but after two games all Enthusiasm deflated by the opponents .
One was still bickering about a game he played the month before.
Just unlucky with opponents .
Played warhammer instead was not what I was into but much more fun. |
| PraetorianHistorian | 12 Jul 2012 4:31 a.m. PST |
That was just too funny kreoseus. I still like modern but I haven't found any rules I enjoy enough to play it often. I'm not into Napoleonics at all anymore and haven't been for about 4 or 5 years. |
| John the Greater | 12 Jul 2012 5:22 a.m. PST |
25mm 18th century; AWI, SYW, Frech & Indian, etc. I still have the figures. Too bad, I kind of liked my Austrians. |
| Dynaman8789 | 12 Jul 2012 5:57 a.m. PST |
SciFi, lost interest in that. I don't lose interest in any period, rather, I gain interest in another period and swear to get back to the old one some day… |
| Texas Jack | 12 Jul 2012 7:56 a.m. PST |
just blame me, I'm a few hundred miles away so am safe from wifely anger I sure as hell blamed you, but it didnīt seem to do much good since I was the one doing the laughing. A few hundred miles away, eh? Sounds like paradise! :) |
| kreoseus2 | 12 Jul 2012 8:14 a.m. PST |
Yeah, but I am only yards away from my own wife…… |
| Uesugi Kenshin | 12 Jul 2012 9:05 a.m. PST |
Same with me on the sci-fi end. I just quit for the second time. |
 Mserafin | 12 Jul 2012 9:30 a.m. PST |
I seem to drift back and forth between WW2 and Napoleonics, usually in 10-year cycles. I've recently picked up Napoleonics again, so all my 15mm WW2 will sit and gather dust for a while. I've had interest in other periods, but they don't really last. ECW, ACW, ancients, 7YW,sci-fi I've played them, and keep the figures around in case the itch returns, but in the end it seems to all boils down to either WW2 or Napoleonics for me. |
| Texas Jack | 12 Jul 2012 10:15 a.m. PST |
Yeah, but I am only yards away from my own wife You really like to live life dangerously! Getting back to the original question, I have an on again off again love of WWI aircraft. I painted up a mess of planes and did nothing with them until the bug bit me again three months later. |
| kreoseus2 | 13 Jul 2012 12:04 a.m. PST |
If I am really lucly, she will see this and not talk to me for a few days. She thinks that that is a punishment…… :) |
