Indy RPGs (D&D is for beginners)
Reading up on popular science
Retro PC gaming (if it doesn't need DosBox to run, I'm not interested)
Powerlifting



I know one of those doesn't look like it belongs, but I'm a complex individual.

I am a paintballer and also am slowly getting my suit or armor assembled for the SCA.

I am also a heavy RPGer.

And killing clowns with squid.

rugby mostly
followed by gaming, mostly xbox
and somewhere in there i find time for the girlfriend

I am an obsessive Angler/Fisherman.

SO much so that i set up this website: www.brisbanefishing.com.au and we know run a lot of competitions, socials etc.

I brew beer

I do a bit of that too, made Elderflower Champagne last year it was lovely. Tried to make Sloe wine next, was fething awful. You win some, you lose some.

1. Mediaeval Re-enactment (see left )

2. Getting annoyed with people who think what I do is LARPing or anything to do with the SCA. I do proper re-enactment

Its a short list but between work, kids and plasticrack there's no time for anything else!!!

Hobbies include...

Chilling.

Playing too much Eve Online.

Cinema.

TV such as Heroes/Lost/Big Bang/Family Guy/American Dad/Southpark

Clubbing when I get the chance.

Currently the main part of my life is work/playing 40k/painting/playing Eve Online.

I do a lot of running. 10Ks to Half Marathons mostly, although I ran the London Marathon last year. I also enter the Great South Run (10 miles) ever year and can seen on the website running last years race (I'm the guy in black towards the right hand side of the screen wearing a knee support).

During the summer, I enter as many triathlons as I can afford (entry fees range between £40 and £80), with training in between.

Most of my time is being taken up a Masters in Transport Planning at the moment (more interesting than it sounds) and multiple Flashman posts means I'm supposed to be writing an essay and am being distracted by the internet.

I build and race cars, mostly drag racing because I dont have enough money to build a proper curcuit racer.

Used to skateboard, Not enough time these days

Used to paintball, No place nearby to play, not enough money after cars/models

Used to play lots of videogames, not enough time these days with working on cars and building/painting models.

Used to play DnD 2nd and 3rd editions, not enough time now, and no local group.


current ride is an 89' honda CRX with a frankenstein motor built from an Acura Integra and Japanese Domestic Market Honda Civic type R. (Known in the honda-world as an LS-Vtec) Planning on going turbo with it after I get my new Limited Slip transmission and rollcage installed. End goals for the car are ~400 horsepower in a 1700 pound car, quite insane.

I also have an 87 porsche 944, but its a POS.

Most people seem to have cool hobbies besides war gaming. Is role playing any good . I sued to always ahve toy swords as a child lol .I like the whole dressin up in armour thing

SCA for a while, though took a year off from a shoulder injury and haven't gotten back in yet.
I read a lot, a lot of economics and systems stuff, as well as plowing through everything Pratchett has written (got into him kinda late it seems.)
Otherwise I waste too much time on video games, but they are an addiction that is hard to break when work leaves you in a malaise of frustration and hatred.

Otherwise board games and some movies. I try to get some RPGs going but most of my friends are very luke warm on them.

My other hobbies are:

RPG's; my group is switching off between dnd 4th and star wars saga.
Hanging out with my two kids.

Really between the wife, kids and work that is all I have time for.

@L0rdF1end

Playing too much Eve Online.

My main other hobby is airsoft. I would post a picture...but no one ever takes any of me, just of the people doing stupid flashy gak.

I don't know if it qualifies as a hobby,but I also play bass/guitar.
I'm also addicted to Horror (zombie) films and have a fairly large colection.

Thats why I am glad to be young . Except we have lots of exams ¬¬

I used to:

do archery
do airsoft
go wherever the whim took me on my Transalp / R100
go to the cinema

Then I had kids.

Couldn't be happier.

Awesome to see what other things people are into. Not really sure I would count things like board games and anime as a hobby, but I am into them as well. I wouldn't call drinking a hobby, but I've certainly burnt up a good amount of time due to it. I used to be into tropical fishkeeping as well, but I've moved so many times in the past five years I haven't had the interest to start up a tank again for fear of having to move it three times in one year. Would be nice to see more pictures in this thread. Here's my list:

Working out and nutrition. I spend a lot of my free time exercising or reading about health and nutrition or learning a new recipe. Since the weather has improved in my area I stopped driving to and from work just to get more time on the bicycle in.
Philosophy. If I'm not reading about health and nutrition it's something to do with philosophy. Seneca is currently favorite.
Fishing.
Knots. Got into it from the flashlight and EDC(every day carry) forums. Picture below of my car key fob and lanyard I made.
Homebrew/ wine making. I just got into this, but it's going to be nice to be able to offer someone a glass of mead and tell them it's mine. Picture of my first batch currently going. I've got a five gallon batch of apfelwein going as well. Still figuring out what to do next.

Photography is my other main hobby.

I also enjoy history, travel and cooking but I think of those as interests rather than hobbies as they just need time and money rather than specialist equipment and knowledge.

Lots of reading
Writing
Walks about town
Pathfinder RPG
Left 4 Dead
& hating my job!
