A mess. Staring retirement in the eye in June, and there's still a zillion things I'd like to do. |
 Extra Crispy  | 11 Sep 2018 3:09 p.m. PST |
Evolving…away from simple toward complex and nuanced. |

Widening but narrowing – trying to finish up and grow a few projects – getting out of a few periods but getting into a new one Agree with Mark – probably best stated evolving |
| Winston Smith | 11 Sep 2018 3:16 p.m. PST |
Narrowing.
For myself, I'm down to AWI and Flames of War. |

Widening … I have more money to spend on the hobby. |
| robert piepenbrink | 11 Sep 2018 3:52 p.m. PST |
Intensifying? A full range of broad periods and scales, but I've sold off a great number of armies and worked to make the remaining ones more complete. |

Widening historically, narrowing as far as Sci-fi/fantasy goes. |

| BrockLanders | 11 Sep 2018 4:55 p.m. PST |
Widening, possibly beyond my abilities |

Widening -- more money leads to more dabbling in a variety of areas. |

Widening, in ways I cannot control… |
| TBClark1 | 11 Sep 2018 7:09 p.m. PST |
Just the opposite of Extra Crispy – narrowing and definitely away from complex and nuanced toward simple. |

I have about 10 eras of interest, pretty wide and have kept to that for last 20 years, just changing rules and figures. |

narrowing, like "we don't matter", "what's the point". But I have more money to make sure that my "interests" are well covered… :) |
| gamershs | 11 Sep 2018 10:06 p.m. PST |
Lets see:
- Just finished mounting,grasssing and labeling Selucid CMD stands for my 15mm Selucid army
- Just labeled my CMD stands for my 15mm Early German, Early Imperial Roman and Han Chinese armies.
- Just finished 4 Japanese WW2 300mm heavy bombers (that were never built).
- Am working on 4 UNSC space transports for my UN Space fleet.
- Painting 25mm (28mm?) Drenoi (bug) figures for a SciFi convention game I will put on next year.
- Am reviewing my 15mm ACW figures for a convention game next year (may have to paint additional figures). I guess it is about the same. |

Widening. More time and a bit more free cash since retirement. Still want to do more than I actually do so that hasn't changed. |
| Patrick R | 12 Sep 2018 12:55 a.m. PST |

| Frederick | 12 Sep 2018 1:27 a.m. PST |
Not widening but not narrowing much either Changing a bit – but as I drop something I add something else |
| PzGeneral | 12 Sep 2018 3:16 a.m. PST |
Drying up and blowing away in the wind…. |
| LAP1954 | 12 Sep 2018 3:59 a.m. PST |
ABOUT THE SAME! TOO Much to do, not enough time to do it..and I retired two years ago. |

| TodCreasey | 12 Sep 2018 4:08 a.m. PST |
Narrowing in that not everything has to be done big anymore, I am happy with some projects to stay small/skirmish level and some projects on their way to be big have been scaled back. I am also doing to some projects that were "someday" projects now (Muslim Conquest, Biblicals) as my core collections are in pretty good shape. |
| Bob in Edmonton | 12 Sep 2018 4:10 a.m. PST |
Narrowing, both in what I collect and what I play. |
| Desert Fox | 12 Sep 2018 4:17 a.m. PST |
Widening, But I am trying to resist the temptation of having too many projects going at once. I am trying to finish one project before I start another. But I am not having much luck. Just too many periods with too much eye candy to resist! One thing I have done in the last few years to prevent me from starting too many new projects is putting in more time making more interesting and realistic terrain. As I get older I am finding I am becoming more interested in how my games look. |
| jurgenation | 12 Sep 2018 4:35 a.m. PST |
just retired ,so…WIDE OPEN BABY!!!!1 |
 Legion 4 | 12 Sep 2018 5:35 a.m. PST |
Ah … what was the question ?  |
| 79thPA | 12 Sep 2018 5:43 a.m. PST |
My interests have always been wide, but my wallet was mostly narrow. It's pretty easy to have a limited collection when you have very little money to spend on figures. Having more disposable income now makes it harder for me to reign in all of my interests. |
| rustymusket | 12 Sep 2018 6:01 a.m. PST |
narrowing generally but open to something new once in a while. |
 Sgt Slag | 12 Sep 2018 6:40 a.m. PST |
Narrowing for the past 20 years: virtually no historical games anymore; only playing fantasy; Army Men games are roaring back, though. To be honest, my historical games interest was limited, from the start, but I will still play just about anything. I just am focusing my interests, and limited hobby time, towards my two areas of highest interest. Cheers! |
| Rich Bliss | 12 Sep 2018 6:49 a.m. PST |
They narrowed about 15 years ago and have stayed steady since. |
| Hlaven | 12 Sep 2018 6:58 a.m. PST |
Narrowing definitely. 28s only.Though I love it; no more sci-fi or western. Very small but adequate WWII. Vikings, Napoleonic, and ACW. still hold my main interests. Definitely I do projects more slowly now. |
| skedaddle | 12 Sep 2018 7:10 a.m. PST |
still meandering like a slow river… |
| The Beast Rampant | 12 Sep 2018 7:34 a.m. PST |
Less and less focused. I blame the wider proliferation of good minis over broader periods & genres. And pesky kids on my lawn. |
| MrMagoo | 12 Sep 2018 8:20 a.m. PST |
Widening. There is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to gaming these days. Too many cool choices to.. SQUIRREL!! |
| General Kirchner | 12 Sep 2018 8:43 a.m. PST |
narrowing. i have sold off over half my stuff in the last year. While i have cycled periods, genres and armies in the past, I cant see getting too fired up about anything new. unless……….. :) |

I think I'll go with Cacique Caribe's characterization: chaotic as ever. The range of games I run has narrowed, at least for the last several years, down basically to just Traveller and StarGrunt. The range of games I play, however, is pretty much anything. |
| Shagnasty | 12 Sep 2018 9:42 a.m. PST |
Narrowing as few can be found who want to play the Old Rules I prefer. |
