Watched cartoons.
Painted a Warmachine figure (the first miniature I've painted in about ten years).

Cool, you and Jyudas are both miniature painters? :D I haven't done any of that for 3 or 4 years now, I'd love to get back into it again. However, I started the hobby twice, and both times it kind of dwindled away...

Do you paint GW stuff, or more specialist models? I'm a sucker for the WH40K stuff myself, especially the Space Marines and Tyranid / Genestealers :)

I actually think painting miniatures is a bit lame, I like tabletop rpg'ing with p&p much better :-)
Nothing to waste time like an evening of Call of Cthulu.

Then you're obviously not an artistic person, which we won't hold against you :D Horses for courses mate - I've seen some incredibly professional painted miniatures (painted by professionals no less), and lame is not a word that comes to mind :) Painting models is a great way to relax, tabletop gaming is something quite different.

We're not all RP'ers, remember? :)

I do tabletop roleplay as well, predominantly, and write them.

I haven't really been into wargaming etc so much since... oh, about White Dwarf issue 100 when the traitorous b*stards stopped stocking RPGs and began ramping up their prices. I stuck around a while for 40k and Epic but couldn't afford to keep up.

What tempted us back was Warmachine, a Steampunk wargame (and d20 RPG setting) with big steam-powered golem/robots.

I wouldn't go back to Games Workshop stuff, still overpriced for what you get and its too humiliating to get beaten by six year olds in store.

The only trouble now is we won't have anyone to play with :P
