[Vanion Shadowcast]

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.

Most of us are very similar in our scores here - but there are so many different kinds of RPGs out there. I know that I approach different games with different intentions. Some MUDs and MMORPGs I approach with only the intention to kill other players and trap them. Some, I approach with only the intention to roleplay. Here, it's a mixture. I'd still say this was pretty accurate for me, though.

Doh. As usual, a hybrid.

I guess it would make sense that most Free Form Gamers are Storytellers and Character Players. This quiz looked like it was geared more towards the Dungeons and Dragons type players.

[Lady Kyndra]

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.
