So I am guessing it is a fairly safe assumption that for most RPG enthusiasts their favorite part of the hobby is when they can actually site around the table (real or virtual) and play an RPG with their friends. But when you can't be playing or running a game, what about the RPG hobby do you enjoy most? What related activities do you spend time on most often?
Drawing maps?
Creating new characters?
Reading campaign setting material?
Reading adventures?
Creating adventures?
Making up new monsters?
Coming up with house rules?
Painting miniatures?
Buying more game stuff? :-)

Posting on the Paizo messageboards...
Reading up on new monsters, designing encounters, and working those encounters into the overall story for my game.
Creating content or stuff for my campaigns...
Writing campaign journals, brainstorming future plot stuff, brainstorming or working on different campaigns, and occasionally making monsters and encounters.
Drawing characters and making maps.
BillyGoat,
I figured that would probably be less than clear...
"Creating content" for me means working on my campaign story, plot, NPCs, maps, politics, economics, etc.
"Creating stuff" for me means working on terrain, miniatures, accessories or tools for the game. "Stuff" means real, physical things that I use in the game. Content is more the intellectual property, if that helps.
The line can get a little blurred where maps meet terrain and NPCs meet miniatures....
I know for me, I definitely have gamer ADD so I tend to jump between most of the things in my original post - but especially buying products, reading books (especially bestiaries), and creating campaign concepts - although I tend not to end up getting to the detail work.
