It is a rather weird definition of "non-gamer".

I'd count as a gamer. I've been in a weekly group since 2010, and had a prior weekly group from 2007 to 2010.

One weekly game and two roughly-monthly campaigns, so... regular, like.

I'm about to start GM'ing new campaign this Friday. So freakin' excited.

However I have not played since late March because of a grotesque campaign crash and burn which basically involved me telling my regular gaming group of 10 years to fuck off and stop wasting my time. I was at fault too, but these people caused me so much stress and frustration over the years. Since I severed, I've never felt better.

My new players are awesome people who actually act like adults* (most of them have responsibilities beyond struggling to choose between which 40K army to paint first). And they're much more laid back and never use the expression "my character's INTEGRITY" or "I don't care: that's what my CHARACTER would do". :banghead:

* the irony of this statement is not lost on me: I realize that packing up my things and leaving the game table in a huff is pretty juvenile, but I feel better now so whatever

Gaming pretty regularly. Playing in 4E D&D campaign every other Friday, running GURPS fantasy on alternate Fridays and playing AD&D or running OD&D( we swap campaigns every few months) every Tuesday at the FLGS.

I play weekly, so I count as a gamer.

I know a lot of people who play at lads weekends, or at conventions, but don;t have a regular group. They consider themselves as gamers, but only play 3 or 4 times a year.

About two months back I had a month long break due to scheduling issues, but it seems mostly sorted out for now.

By pundit's definition, I would presently be a non-gamer.

Was suppose to play a pickup game of OD&D yesterday, but the other players flaked out and didn't show up.  Ended up playing a few games of chess with the DM instead.

I run a roleplaying game pretty much weekly at the store and play a couple wargames a week.

After two years of running a store.  I'm getting to where I wouldn't mind being a non-gamer for a while.

It very much means running and playing what other people want and leaving your own interests to lie fallow.

Non-gamer present.

As far as for how long its been...well....its been a bit.

As for "why," my guess its that I just don't know when to not be busy at work or otherwise; my wife chides me about this often - to the point where she pointedly states things about slowing down/enjoying life and so on.

Love the games, love the culture (and all its idiosyncrasies) and certainly enjoy catching up with things on-line but I just can't relax enough to get things going otherwise.

I game so much at the moment I'm too ashamed to say how much on an RPG forum .

I guess I technically fit the description if it's a month.  Life happens, and we haven't gamed in just over a month.  Which is OK, because I've been very busy writing and doing layout anyway.  I will be running my playtests next month, so I'll get plenty of gaming in then.

Out with it, it's not like any of us are in a position to criticise you.

Aren't people answering opposite to what the pundit is asking? In that vein, counting my pbp's, yes I am a "gamer". Not much into labels though.

I think I would go mad if I didn't game at least once a week. I live above my work, so going off to game is really the only time I leave a one-block radius.

I am, however, finding it interesting how many regular posters are not actually regular gamers.

It might be fun to correlate with people who complain about other gaming-related websites being full of non-gamers...
