New "What sort of RPG player are you?" poll (this one by Charles Ryan)

[Mishihari Lord]

I'm a little surprised. I expected tactician to be between character player and storyteller.

What would be really interesting is a study where gaming groups take the quiz with additional questions as to how happy they are with their group and there games. Then we could do some cross-correlation and see what types of players can happily coexist in games and what types tend to butt heads.

Character Player 95%
Storyteller 75%
Tactician 60%
Weekend Warrior 40%
Power Gamer 35%
Casual Gamer 15%
Specialist 0%

For comparison, here is what my friend just scored. He does not know anything about EnWolrd or any other gaming site other than the stores that sell minis. Things like OGL and RAW are just some weird words I use. He only owns the Player's Handbook. He has only played with the d20 rules and the d6 Star Wars system:

Weekend Warrior - 70%
Character Player - 70%
Power Gamer - 65%
Specialist - 65%
Tactician - 55%
Casual Gamer - 45%
Storyteller - 25%

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.

Storyteller 70%
Weekend Warrior 70%
Character Player 65%
Casual Gamer 50%
Tactician 40%
Power Gamer 35%
Specialist 5%

That sounds more or less right, I'd say.

Sounds about right for me. But then; I answered the questions truthfully. It should sound about right.

This character player likes to play a character.

I guess WW use the game to blow off steam, while causal gamers are there for friends
The questions did not cover my application of power gaming, I build the best character that I can with the concept. Im not surprised by any of my other percentages.
