Well....it all depends on one's interests and one's friends' interests. I lost out on other stuff because I was focusing a lot on Tabletop RPG's. ^_^
And as it turns out, I'm cool with that. Can't do everything, after all.
These days, at least I get to PLAY a little in PBP games. My current table group (which goes back a ways, I admit) STILL won't GM anything, leaving it all for me.
Group almost died a while back, but then everyone's responsibilities changed again with age, and now...more freedom. Granted, we haven't played in a year and a quarter, but now we all have our second shots and COVID is (currently) under good control in Ontario, so we might start up again soon.
