It's a rare achievement, but they manage to do it on a regular basis.
If you want to play a good tabletop game, try some of the really good skirmish games out there, like Infinity (it's pretty much Ghost in the Shell: The Tabletop game) or Malifaux.
And don't write off RPGs like D&D so easily, they can be great fun. I remember having an incredible time playing Gamma World and getting drunk (drunk DMing is the best DMing) with a bunch of friends.
