Thanks, John.
Being a collector but not a player is something I hadn't heard of. I know of "hoarders" that like having every game of a genre or for a particular historical period that interests them. For example Napoleonics or Civil War. But they always played, too. Often they like reading and comparing different games, and sometimes splicing rules between different games.
For myself, I've got miniature navies in two different scales for WWI-WWII period, a large set of high fantasy minis (orc & elf armies, that sort of thing), some Bronze Age "ancients", and some science fiction armor and spaceships. I've played a wide range of miniature rules sets, as well as games created for counters (little cardboard pieces that come with the game rules) adapted for minis. Rules I've played with recently include Perilous Encounters (one of the earliest "quick play" rule sets),
Hordes of the Things (aka HOTT), Micro Ancients,
OGRE/GEV, etc. I'll play about anything.
For RPGs I'll play almost anything if someone else is running the game, I run games of
Paizo Pathfinder,
Traveller, and the
original D&D rules from pre-1978. My family and I were playtesters for the current version of Traveller in stores, and I've just started playtesting another new version of that game.
Since I got started in these games by guys older than me, and since it's the sort of hobby you can't wait to retire with so you _finally_ have time to, e.g., paint that set of Boxer Rebellion minis you bought a decade ago and play games with them, it seemed logical to look for some gamers here.
Anyway, still looking. I much prefer face to face games over online, though that may be where a lot of people are now.
