Art: Usually pencil, colored pencil, pen & brush ink, or water color.  I had
the huge whiteboard at work filled with drawings of my co-workers, so I
suppose I'm a dry-erase artist, too <g>.  This may move back from being a
hobby to being my profession once again if a Big Name Computer Game company
actually signs the contract it agreed to with a small company owned by a
friend of mine.

Gaming: Its hard to find an area of gaming that I haven't been involved in.
Postal Diplomacy, Magic (beta-tested numerous early expansions), "Designer
board games",  wargames, role-playing (still have my 1st edition brown-box
D&D (no "A" no "TM")), computer games, and miniatures.  The last links into
Lego because I'm using the minifigs for gaming (Fantasy Rules! by Chipco for
massed combat, and I'm looking at Peter Pig's Pieces of Eight for Pirate
skirmishs).  This has also been a profession rather than just a hobby in the
past, having worked on numerous computer games in a variety of capacities.

Hiking & Photography: I tend to do these in combination, so you can probably
deduce that it is nature photography.  I've gone digital on this, retiring
my film camera.  I'm looking to replace my 3 megapixel camera with a 4 or 5
megapixel one.

Music: Broad and eclectic taste, but current live music I have been
attending is classical - I was listening to the L.A. Philharmonic perform
Beethoven's 6th rather than push pirate ships at BrickWest.

History: kinda goes with all the gaming, I suppose.

If I had more time, I'd add more hobbies.

(...) You are probably one of the few people here who go back farther in RPGs than me (I started RPGs in 1977). I started war games back sometime in the early 70s with a copy Tactics II. I started my game design passion not much after (by designing (...) (23 years ago, 16-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Hi all, I'm not sure if this has come up in the past, (if so, can someone please direct me to that thread), but I wonder what kinds of non lego activities you guys get up to, and if you have found any comparisons or contrasts between other hobbies (...)
