Haha oh wow, that is a lot of hours indeed!
Yes, interesting stuff you say about the tabletop side of things. I'd never really thought of it from the perspective of a tabletop RPGer, as that was something I never got into. I think I tried it twice in my life, and barring the social element and the laughs you can get with some friends, the whole thing was just a little too tedious for me, when computers can do so much of the work so much faster. :)
Yeah tabletop can be cery tedious. But if you have a solid group of people to play with and you have a good gm, it's a blast.
