I admit I'm not much of a role-player. I burned out on D&D a long time ago, and I'm too lazy to put a lot of effort into playing a character. I usually come to Banditos gaming sessions just to hang out, work on hobbies, read, make irrelevent remarks, and visit with my girlfriend Art's wife. :-)
I do wargame, however - my hobbies (of which I have too many) tend towards history, models, and miniatures, so wargaming is a logical extension. I've been messing with models and model trains since I was about seven years old, and the skills and techniques used in those hobbies tend to pop up in my wargaming models and scenery.
