You scored as 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.

Is it wierd that I scored a casual gamer and I'm the DM :\ ? I didn't really take the extreme options, which explains the relatively moderate percentages. Meh, I always thought Robin Laws were a little silly anyways. I much prefer the timmy, johnny, spike descriptions from MtG. They go up for DnD as much as for magic. Robin Laws only describe how a player plays his game, not the reason why (which IMHO is much more usefull information).

Cheers,
Illirion.

Congrats on being the first Casual Gamer on this thread!

What are the timmy, johnny, and spike characteristics?

And we are still waiting for a specialist...
