So what type of player does your DM think you are?

Why isn't this a multiple-choice poll?

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

My entire gaming group is a bunch of instigators.

 

[The Little Raven]

Storyteller, all the way. Though, when I LARP, I'm totally the Actor.

Doug Douglason's quote about his campaigns being "an elaborate tapestry upon which I weave a variety of subject matter" is something that came out of my mouth, almost verbatim, back in 1999.

Sometimes I have to use sound effects (the Law and Order scene changing sound, specifically) to let my players know that I'm done with whatever plot point or exposition or NPC monologue, because they're always expecting more.

If there's a shinny button marked "Do Not Press" in a dungeon, I'm going to press it, even if its deep inside the Banewarrens. So yes, I'm an instigator.

Last I checked, I was a Story Teller with Tactician weighing in a close second.

 

[TarionzCousin]

My entire gaming group is a bunch of instigators.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Or some of both?



I am an Actor.

A good father. Then again, my wife is one of my DMs

You Hollywood types are all alike!

Power Gamer/Tactician.

He has several unflattering and Grandma-unfriendly terms for both of these traits-- though he appreciates my tendency to turn Instigator at the drop of a hat. Might not always be in a good direction, but I do tend to keep things moving.
