What Type Of Player Are You?

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.

Edit: Good Rules can make a game or bad ones can brake one if things are up in the air, some times they are a necessary evil but not allways.
 
Character Player - 75

I'm kind of surprised that Storyteller and Specialist rated so high and I'm not sure what exactly they mean by Weekend Warrior.

Character Players want to understand, and then follow consistently, the motivations of their characters.

Storytellers like to be part of an unfolding plotline with internally consistent and understandable NPCs.[/QUOTE]
 
With all there storytellers and character players ...
... no wonder topics get to 'lively': setting details and how they effect the PC is EVERYTHING to most of us. ;)

Hmmm... Guess I was 'just a bit' off, as I thought I was closer to a power gamer...
Interesting.
 
Pretty much what I expected to see, although I would have put Power Gamer at the bottom.

This is pretty close. I haven't been in an active game in years though, so it's hard to say for sure.
