Does anyone have the blurbs for the others? I'm kinda curious.
Sure!
Power Gamer:
First and foremost, the Power Gamer plays the game to further the power of his character. His character is principally a collection of super powers, principally optimized for the acquisition of still more super powers. The Power Gamer pays close attention to the rules, with a special eye to finding quirks and breakpoints he can exploit to get large benefits at comparatively low costs. To the Power Gamer, the greatest reward is success, and reaping the benefits of that success to make his character tougher, richer, and more powerful. With apologies to Robin Laws.
Weekend Warrior:
The Weekend Warrior is in the game to kick down doors and kill monsters. After a long day in the office or classroom, he wants his character to wade into the action—too much time spent on diplomacy, story arc, planning, or even character-building tends to bore him. He tends to prefer combat-ready, simple-to-create, simple-to-run characters, leaning toward fighter types or blaster magic-users. Optimizing the rules for an ideal character is secondary, so long as he gets to hit things. To the Weekend Warrior, the greatest reward in roleplaying is the exciting, action-packed battle. With apologies to Robin Laws.
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.
Tactitian:
The Tactician enjoys opportunities to think his way through complex problems, usually those of the battlefield. He prefers realistic (or at least internally consistent and logical) rules and settings. He likes to be able to picture a scene in detail, so that he can make good decisions and reap their rewards—he particularly hates playing without a battle mat or miniatures. The Tactician becomes annoyed when other players make unsound decisions, or when they plow into encounters without thinking them through. For the Tactician, the greatest reward in gaming is a challenging yet logical obstacle for his character to overcome.
Casual Gamer:
To the Casual Gamer, a roleplaying session is first and foremost a social activity enjoyed with one’s friends. The Casual Gamer enjoys gaming well enough, but participates mostly because that’s what his friends do. He’s usually the one least into the game rules, campaign events, or even his own character, and may even get distracted during the session—but that doesn’t mean he isn’t having fun. For the Casual Gamer, the greatest reward of the game is just hanging out and having fun with friends. With apologies to Robin Laws.
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.
