Wargaming is a lifestyle for me. Working and eating are annoyance, time-draining activities. Hiking and yardwork are my alternate lifestyle … Zen activities where I can free my mind to think about wargaming. |

A. There's something in Gaudy Night, I think about knowing what your ruling passions are because they're what you keep doing, even when there are good reasons to stop. |

+1 Piepenbrink. I resemble that remark. |

I would say you're going to get a lot As from TMP users. Almost renders the poll redundant. |

No – not by that definition. |

I like to game, but 9 out of ten times it's board games. Rarely do I get a chance to push around little toy soldiers. Rather, painting little toy soldiers for the games I rarely play has been the element that defines my gaming lifestyle. |

Oh, and buying rule books, lots of &9%$@# rulebooks… |

A. I have other interests, and there are times I've tried to minimize my time and effort, but I always come back. Maybe it's more like an addiction. |

A – if you include all forms of wargaming (board, PC, Miniatures). I am leery of the term though. Favorite pastime is what I would call it. |

I'm with Tacitus, though obviously my collection of miniatures argues otherwise…okay, make it an A. |
| Frederick | 28 Jan 2019 5:18 p.m. PST |
B I love painting and gaming but there's more to me than that (I hope, anyway) |
