I had an old paintball gun I bought off someone in highschool but never got the chance to play, until after college on a weekend out of town trip so I had to borrow everything. About 8 years later a friend decides to get back into it after his divorce so we played a couple times and I swore I’d wait until we played a few times before investing money into newer, better gear. Then I got a new marker, hopper, mask, tanks, and all the trimmings. We played once (1 on 1) then he vanished forever when he started dating his would-be wife. I never touched any of it again.
I didn’t get into DnD until COVID, and know how I am with things, I decided to get 1 set of cheap dice, borrow a PHB and start small. After several sessions and a solid group my dice addiction hits, I buy PHB, DMG and MM off eBay, custom mini and make my own dice box. Then I start getting into DMing, buy tons of minis, DM gear, paints, more dice etc etc. Me and my gf break up, the DM (a coworker of mine) went turncoat and I was gone from the group. I tried finding a couple new games after I moved but no luck.
So now I got all this shit sitting on shelves in my basement
If you’re still interested in playing, see if there’s a local game store by you. People around me are always looking for groups and many would kill for a reliable GM. Though I do understand the money sink, I think there’s 8 totes of figures in my office that I’m too lazy to get at game time and we just end up using dice instead of the minis.
Multiple hobbies I intended to do, invested and ran out of interest/time or moved into a new one.
I’m really bad at being constant or focus on one thing.
I’m currently in the camera gear rabbit hole. Still need to sell my expensive gravel bike.
Fuck thats big for me too.
Same here.
