[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 1093964, member: 945"] I'm confused. I think Henry was looking for something more for the PLAYERs, not for the characters. Crothian's thread is really about characters. Things like "describe the appearance of your character". That's what this thread was for. I think Henry was looking for something more along the lines of "Do you prefer a more strategy-oriented game, or a more role-playing oriented game?" At least, that was my impression. If that's the case, then I *do* have a questionnaire that I intend to use for that: These questions are devoted to different play styles. Rate each from 1 (dislike) to 10 (like). 1 Combat / Action (10=hack-n-slash) 2 Building a Character (10=twenty-page character history) 3 Puzzle Solving (10=spending an hour solving puzzles) 4 Role-playing (10=all role-playing, all the time; no out-of-game talk) 5 Adventure (Story) (10=no dice are ever rolled) 6 Dungeon Crawls (10=the characters never see the light of day) 7 City / Town adventures (10=forest? What's a forest?) 8 Outdoor / Wilderness adventures (10=City? What's a city?) 9 Politics / Status (10=PCs are imbedded into the political structure) 10 Epic Quests (10=Tolkien's got nothing on our party) 11 Adventure size (10=1 plot equals one years' worth of gaming) 12 Free-form Gaming (10=GM asks "what do you want to do today?") 13 DM Picks Adventures (10=GM forces PCs into the situations) 14 Level of Magic (10=Elminster lives down the street from me) 15 Other (specify) ______________ This section covers characters and their development. 16 In general, do you like (10), or dislike (1) Prestige classes? 17 What character level do you most like to play? Answer: _______ 18 At what level do you prefer to start? Answer _______ 19 What is your favorite class to play? Answer ____________ 20 Which class do you feel is the weakest? Answer ____________ 21 Which class do you feel is the most powerful? Answer __________ 22 How important is character development to you? (10=Very) 23 Do you prefer game conflicts to be personal (10) or impersonal (1)? This section covers campaign tone, and campaign style.
