Q&A time:

When is too much hobby too much? At what point do you go: f*ck this, I’m out!

That depends on the community.  As soon as I feel like I’m doing all this for no reason, I quit almost instantly.   I have very little patience for that shit.

Did you every experience a “oh I totally forgot how much fun this is” moment with a game/system you’ve abandoned long ago?

Every time I spend a few months away from Panzer Leader and try it again, I kick myself for ever having paused it.
Battlegroup by IronFist Publishing another game I don’t play as regularly as I’d like to.  Whenever I play again, it’s always a pang of regret for ever having set it down.

Where have all the flowers gone?

US Marine Corps flamethrowers have burned them all to ash.

@damon – meat popsicle, nice reference.

@comet5 – I couldn’t possibly agree more with your answer to #1.  Too many recent game releases feel more like cheap trash, thinly-disguised engines to get you to buy more books, more cards, more minis (which of course you can’t use in other systems – or you can’t use other minis for this system).

Some of my best memories of tank games were “Pennies-Nickels-Quarters” – Pennies = T-34s, Nickels = Panthers, Quarters = Tigers.  We had huge battles, with pretty serious tactical realism and historical accuracy, for like $2.50.  Of course, we had to write the rules ourselves.

Aren’t those ALWAYS they best games, though?

@danlee – nice Survivors!

@bliny465 – great progress video on Jabba’s Throne!  This is when it rolls forward so he can watch dancing girls eaten by his Rancor?

@sathrin – I love the clean bases and desert color scheme on those “Chainrasp” miniatures!

@sundancer – huge improvement on the bike.
