Already done so. Its very different to my current project, which is an atheist left wing paradise that is somehow going wrong. But I like your system of luck. It would make an interesting role-play system, and it raises some very interesting questions. Very nice.

I race go karts. They arent your average put put go kart. It's an 80cc suped up honda dirt bike engine on a 200 pound go kart. 0-60 in just above 4 seconds. Its tons of fun.http://youtube.com/watch?v=G3a267fdVhA

i love to cook veggie food especially indian stuff and baking lemon cakes.

i like to knit although sometimes it frustrates me beyond belief. i'm knitting a cardigan right now.

i love to sing. i write ghost songs using my guitar. they're like ghost stories but they are songs.

i like to write. sometimes i write articles for a magazine called rag. it's a feminist magazine i was involved in starting up when i lived in the city. i also write poetry and love to write and receive letters.

i like having events at my house. me and my housemates regularly have shows in our house and in our barn.

i am involved with a group who are starting a co-op in a derelict building. when we're done it will be a cafe/social centre/practice space/info shop/community garden/book shop.

i like gardening...but i have a lot to learn.

generally my hobbies are people. i love to work with others to achieve common goals, to empower everyone and to provide nice things for people to do/eat/enjoy/smile about.

i fuck it up quite often though : )

I play Piano, thats about it... but... I'm really good at it!

My hobby is modding games.

For instance:

I modeled this in about 4 hours, it took about 2 and a half hours to uvw map, and so far about 8 hours to make the textures (including all the tweaking I've had to make so far). It is purposefully supposed to look like the pistol from Halo 3, because that's what I got my references from.

I am a level designer for the Source engine and I have recently been hired to help with a mod.

Ask away, please. Perhaps they aren't ones I haven't even thought of or answered yet.

I WANNA HEAR ONE

My shop/park in Second Life is my hobby--rearranging displays, putzing about with the terraforming, changing the music stream, and periodically changing the layout by buying/selling/trading plots with my neighbors.

Cooking might also count, as I enjoy it and experiment with it, even though it's a bit of a necessity as well. I love cycling as well, but not to the degree of real cycling enthusiasts.

EDIT: lol, I already did this, and I gave totally different answers:

I don't know that any of my activities are developed or sustained enough to count as hobbies, but I jump around from cycling to simple instruments (mainly didge and cajon) to MMOthingies to various art-stuffs (fiction, poetry, geometric primitives, mixed media excursions). Also, seeing hippie shows where I can dance (TWO DAYS TO ROTHBURY!!!). And really my exploration of consciousness, mainly through meditation/mindfulness, isn't developed much beyond the hobby stage, and I guess that would be my main hobby as I'm doing it almost all the time and it's pretty much my favorite thing.

I recover and rebuild old cars... had eleven or so on the go at once and that took the fun out of it, back down to a more manageable number now. I'm toying with building a classic racing car.

I play the guitar rather badly but hope to get better.

I build flying model aeroplanes, but haven't figured out how to make them crashproof yet!

I recently just released a map of mine called zp_bridges_dream.

It's for a Half-Life mod called Zombie Panic. You may have heard of the source version, I only play the half-life version.
I dedicated it to Lucid Dreaming, so there's a lot of "YOU ARE DREAMING" signs floating around and I have a lucid mp3 in the background.
The only problem is that there is only one server for Zombie Panic. It didn't get the attention it deserved and then they came out with Zombie Panic: Source...we do get a few new people from time to time.

btw, do you still have steam? Whats your steam account name? I'll add you to friends.

Fish and lucid dreaming are the only hobbies that I never tire of.

To nurture the fry as they grow from specks to vivid displays of color... Once I get more money, I'm going to get myself more tanks. Once I get myself more tanks, I'm going to breed the most awesome swordtails on the planet (hi-fin lyretail shining halloweenfish!).
