    What do you on your free time other than playing D&D?

    I normally just sit there and think about all the crap I should be doing. :)

    And I thought my law books were interesting reading...Uggh!

    Actually, most of my time is spent away from D&D, with the exception of these boards, and the occasional romp through Amn (when my damned pc is working!)

    I work full time, go to law school at night full time, and any other "spare" time I have is spent, studying, working out, taking karate, working on my house, hanging out with friends and the occasional girl, etc...

    But I do miss the days when 7-8 of my friends would sit down to a game of D&D on a rainy weekend and play for hours...That was a really good time!

    Heh at least you're more productive than me. I really need to get BG II. My roommate is about done with Icewind Dale. I have to keep him out of my hair somehow. :) j/k He's the coolest. Damn, that kid can play. My problem is that I don't get very far in that game because I constantly generate characters. It's a curse.

    BG2 is a little questy (or quest ridden?)...For more on that, ask Sylvus.

    But otherwise, I really like BG2...The kits are cooler, the monster ai is generally better, and there are a lot of cool places to explore.

    Besides all that girlfriend bollocks, I watch Liverpool play, watch WCW on my mates sky satellite dish, and have a laugh with my mates.

    I have friends to hang out with, playing snooker or soccer with them, I used to Play Magic a lot that till I got bored and Wizards started to release a new edition every month (it all started with Mirage) and of course playing ad&d computer games

    Is there anybody else here who used to play Magic or still does it?

    I'm also a lot on school in freetimes!

    Yeah, I play every once in a long awhile. I just bought 2 packs of the newest set, Invasion, some weeks ago. It's a little weird. There are like dual cards (two small cards printed on one) so you can play either of them. That is pretty cool. Oh yah, they brought back gold cards. I think they are trying to encourage three color decks again (yuck).

    Lately, I've actually just been getting into Pen and Paper D&D. Unfortunately, most people on campus go home over the weekends so there aren't very many people to play. Our DM was getting a bit frusterated but he joined a D&D League of some sorts recently, they meet on Mondays.

    Most of my time is spent working or socializing. I kind of wish I had more "me" time, but I'm never home that much anyways.

    Take out the job and thats me. I have no free time spent on other things myself. Are there any paladins in IWD? I havent actually played by myself but if there are paladins it might be worth it to get the game just for the pleasure of the hunt. Ah well. The problen with DnD is that no matter what manner of Paladins I could throw at the PCs they are too good to kill them. I might be able to slowly corrupt most of them though hehehehehe
     
  12. Apart from schoolwork, which I seem to be doing most of the time in Year 11, I like to skateboard, go out with my mates, read, listen to music and go to the nearest dryslope (whenever I have enough spare cash) and go boarding.

    Oh yeah, and I have a job washing up (lucky me - £2 an hour :()

    So far I haven't really noticed very many groups or parties other than Necro shiznit groups that you can fight. No paladin hunting as far as I know. There seem to be a few evil clerics and mages, but they are more than meets the eye.

    [​IMG] I am a junior in college studying Human Resource Management at the age of 25. Ughhh. I am also working an intership in my field at a prominate medical facility where I live in Ohio. Of course I wouldn't still be college just trying to get my bachelors if I hadn't taken a detour through the military life for a while. Again I say Ughhh!

    I am fixing up the house I have not even been in for a year yet. Planning a wedding. Playing D&D, as well as still trying to read new books, keep up on my drawing, and writing.

    I still manage to go dancing, drinking, and attending the occasional cool auto show.

    Oompah you LUCKY bastard!!!
    I have a job washing up at a pub where i live for £1.75 an hour. Don't work too long though coz things get Rowdy in there after they've downed a few, so I work from about 7.00-11.00pm Fridays and Sundays

    All I have to say is work, college, and weight-lifting (when the other 2 permit).

    [​IMG] well when i'm not being D&D orintated, i'm usually learning more of the guitar, constructing songs, writing lyrics etc. I also watch some fotball, go paintballing, go-karting etc. Especially putting on a music CD, turn the volume to max and jump around like a prat at a rock concert strumming an air guitar!
     
  19. Ahhh, but is your boss a prick, Hooligan.

    Well, mine is; he says "f*ck" every sentence, has a speech defect which he calls his "birdie" (I have nothing angains people with speech defects, it's just him), throws around knives (no shit, he does), when he isnt working (which is often)he sits out the front drinking.

    Usually I work quiet days, so for about 2 hours of my 4 hour shift, I have nothing to do. So he finds me crappy jobs to do; last week I had to shovel soil that STANK of shit for an hour and sweep up brick dust which f*cked my abck up.


    Beat that! :p
