It seems lately that my nerdier hobbies are getting to be not much fun for me right now. Warhammer, 40k , Mordhiem, Necromunda and Blood Bowl all seem to find me not wanting to paint or play right now. The D+D campaign is currently stalemated. Pathfinder I am enjoying, though I'm finding it a little easy. WOW it seems like i go through phases of absolutely loving it or feeling like it's more of a chore than a game. Am i starting to suffer burnout? or is it just the winter blaghs?

They say crime doesn't pay. That must mean what I'm doing at work is illegal. -
I go through that quite often, especially with WoW. My husband and I started playing it about 2 years ago and I think we've taken at least 3 breaks in that period. We just started playing again in December and I'm already starting to feel sick of it.
Maybe try a different game for your tabletop pen and paper RPG. Or a different type of campaign using the D&D/Pathfinder system. We're currently playing a d20 based Cthulhu game, which I love compared to the normal D&D dungeon crawl let's go kill some baddies and grab some loot game that we used to play every week. -
I vary between being a WOW addict, killing a zillion people in an online Xbox shooter (right now, Modern Warfare 2), and knitting. I will get very involved in one of those for a few weeks/months and do it constantly, then it gets boring and one of the others catches my interest , and the cycle repeats.
I don't know if it's burnout, but I don't think it's unusual to get bored of things we spend a lot of time doing. If you're bored by something and it's not fun, take a break. Pick up another hobby, then go back to the games in a few weeks or months or whenever they sound interesting again.Comment

You're just bored because you aren't playing one of the following!- Borderlands (Xbox 360, PC, PS3)
- Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360, PC)
- Dragon Age: Origins (Xbox 360, PC)

Could try the serenity role playing game for something new in your D&D game....my friends and I have started a star wars game, and I'm gonna run a serenity game sometime next month after my friend leaves.
heck your D&D game getting boring? pull out munchkin cards.
Getting tired of wow? play D&D online.
There's always things to do differently when things get to common place.It is by snark alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire 'tude, the lips acquire mouthiness, the glares become a warning.Comment

I go through phases like that as well, and in fact, WoW is getting like that for me, thus, my post from yesterday. Generally, in my case, all I need to do is move to another game for a little while, or even part-time and I'll be better.
The suggestions above are very good. Try to mix things up a bit.

I get the same way, every so often I just can't do the computer at all and bury myself into something completely different and then I'm golden again.Comment
