Are you consistently involved in the hobby, or do you drift away and come back repeatedly like a butterfly? |
| Mute Bystander | 01 Feb 2016 4:33 p.m. PST |
Since I discovered toy soldiers in… the dim past. |
| JimDuncanUK | 01 Feb 2016 4:47 p.m. PST |
Nope, even on a bad day I do something. The only time I get nothing done is when I'm on vacation. Even then I take something relevant to read. |

What about being a butterfly WITHIN the hobby, flitting from project or period to another? |

Drift in … drift out … depends on weather, work and other hobbies (blame too much work) |

I've had a few years on occasions that I was virtually out of gaming – and I'm less "hardcore" (if I can use that term without sounding risible) about gaming (especially painting) than at some periods of my life. I'd like to game a bit more, and do more hobby writing and painting – but I'm too busy at the moment with another hobby that I really enjoy. |

Oh, I thought you meant it in the sense of "flit from project to project in a carefree, unproductive manner". To which I would respond, "Zardoz". |

I drift between minis, computer, and board games. ALWAYS some kind of wargame though. |
| rustymusket | 01 Feb 2016 7:34 p.m. PST |
I have not gamed in a decade but I am always reading military history and much of the time figuring what I would enjoy gaming. |

Always involved. Have been since 1983. |
| Cyrus the Great | 01 Feb 2016 10:38 p.m. PST |
Constantly involved since 1967. |

Firefly rather than a butterfly. |
| Timmo uk | 02 Feb 2016 12:17 a.m. PST |
I had an eight year break but other than that all in. I do a lot less in the summer as I'd rather be outside. |
| Patrick R | 02 Feb 2016 2:50 a.m. PST |
I'm in most of the time, but inside I'm – OOOH SHINY - |

I am a fly…caught in amber! |

I believe this was my phrase originally and I intended it to mean one who flits form subject to subject – which I do but I don't flit in and out of the hobby and I doubt many do… |
| Yesthatphil | 02 Feb 2016 6:27 a.m. PST |
Committed Phil
(in for the duration but also very consistent with the periods and genres … add new ones but abandon very little) |
| kallman | 02 Feb 2016 8:22 a.m. PST |
Yes more of a project butterfly than a war gaming butterfly. I have sought over the past four years to cull down the collection and find those things I really want to focus on. It is amazing how difficult that has been to do as there is so many excellent miniatures and more periods and genres are available then ever before. |
| Bismarck | 02 Feb 2016 9:39 a.m. PST |
the only times I have drifted away have been due to health issues either mine or the mrs. Even then, I follow TMP and my various groups daily or as often as I can., |
| ACWBill | 02 Feb 2016 10:56 a.m. PST |
No drifting here, I am committed to my hobby. |
| waaslandwarrior | 02 Feb 2016 11:58 a.m. PST |
I had a break from our hobby when I was 19. Came back when I was 27, and never stopped from there (now 50). I do drift between different and never ending projects though. I can't keep focus on a project for more than a few months max. |

More of a horsefly than a butterfly, restlessly roving, constantly searching for another juicy…find. |
| vtsaogames | 03 Feb 2016 7:09 a.m. PST |
Drifted away in the late 60's upon discovering girls and again in the late 90's for similar reasons. That's all in over 50 years. |
| TMPWargamerabbit | 03 Feb 2016 11:40 a.m. PST |
Still awaiting my parole hearing for life "of gaming" sentence. Caught redhanded with the d6 again by the warden. |

Seriously considered selling everything…but then came x-wing |
