My character fishes IC, and hunts, which is one of the few times he'd be seen carrying his longbow. He's an avid reader and, while he is by no means a bard, plays the mandolin fairly well. Sparring, racing on foot or on chocoback, and marksmanship contests are among his favorite physical activities.
As for games and such, Yvelont enjoys game of chance. Craps and the like. I've even RPed a game of poker dice, something I'd like to try again; I also played an entire chess match with someone, something I will NEVER EVER try again because it became so hard to keep track of everything.
The text-based game I played for several years (GemStone IV) incorporated a lot of things like this into the game. I had a set of poker dice, there was a dartboard at one of the taverns that used your throwing skill, and jousting at one of the annual festivals. Just a lot of "pointless" fluff mostly designed to increase interactivity between players at a time when there could often be 2,000+ people on at prime time. I sometimes miss it.
