What RPG Player (Not Character) Type Are You?

Post by Xenograg »

"The stupidest creative act is still a creative act, and that the real gap isn't between the mediocre and great work. The real gap is between getting started and doing nothing. If you've created something, even if it's stupid, you've put yourself in a position to do more." - Clay Shirky

You scored as Specialist.

The Specialist favors a particular character type, which he plays in every campaign and in every setting. A common example is the player who wants to be a ninja every time. Other specialists may favor knights, cat-people, mischief-makers, flying characters, or misunderstood loners. The Specialist wants the rules to support his favored character type, but is otherwise indifferent to them. He may tend to separate from the party frequently, pursuing his own goals over that of party unity. For the Specialist, the greatest reward of the game is playing the character type he particularly enjoys.

definitely not a specialist ::chuckle::
You scored as Storyteller.

The Storyteller is in it for the plot: the sense of mystery and the fun of participating in a narrative that has the satisfying arc of a good book or movie. He enjoys interacting with well-defined NPCs, even preferring antagonists who have genuine motivations and personality to mere monsters. To the Storyteller, the greatest reward of the game is participating in a compelling story with interesting and unpredictable plot threads, in which his actions and those of his fellow characters determine the resolution. With apologies to Robin Laws.

You scored as Character Player.



The Character Player enjoys creating in-depth characters with distinct and rich personalities. He identifies closely with his characters, feeling detached from the game if he doesn’t. He takes creative pride in exploring different characters, often making each new one radically different than others he’s played. The Character Player bases his decisions on his character's psychology first and foremost. He may view rules as a necessary evil at best, preferring sessions in which the dice never come out of their bags. For the Character Player, the greatest reward comes from experiencing the game from the emotional perspective of an interesting character.

Sounds like, though I love an engaging plot with multiple twists. Guess that's why I'm 80% Storyteller.
