I'm here because I'm burned out on Warmachine. I'll return to Warmachine when I'm burned out on Infinity. Apparently both games are required to be a lifestyle to be any good at them.
Go play something else, or DO something else other than game for a while. Me, I make terrain between games (which can be months for me). A frenzied few months of terrain making followed by a handful of games, then rinse and repeat. This hobby though, for me, has never really been about the "playing" - it's more about the 'making' - the assembling and painting of models and terrain so I'm probably the statistical outlier (I know most of my peers HATE having to build terrain, and more than a few hate painting and/or assembling models.)
Read the rulebooks for different games, paint up some random stuff (like a bunch of goblins or whatever), teach someone else to play and siphon some of their enthusiasm.
Thanks so much for all the input guys. I've tried to pull back from my schedule of two games a week to try and focus more on community engagement with the new players and hobby time. It seems to have worked and I'm feeling much more enthusiastic about our local tourney at the end of the month. Let's keep the discussion rolling however. I'm sure we could all use a reminder of these techniques from time to time.
New project. Typically for me when im bruned out from playing ill plan something new in terms of gameplay or switch up faction. Or go on a painting spree. Recently picked up another game though for some.fun fantasy rank and flank when i need a break.
I usually build a new table of terrain. By the time I’m done I’m ready to get some games in, and have a new table to play on too! I also toy with playing other games, but don’t really have the time to get into a totally different system. Painting a few models and reading the rules for other games is often enough to send me running back towards Infinity, haha.
Play some Blood bowl on PC and When you play infinity again will feel the luckiest man in the universe !
That’s a decent suggestion. It scratches the gaming itch, but is fresh and different, and much less of a time commitment.
