No real surprises for me, here. I definitely prefer complex, detailed settings that promote immersive play. That means I like the GM to give considerable thought to how the underlying premises of the setting logically informs how his world works.

World-building is one of my favorite parts of being a GM, and I truly appreciate it when I play in a game run by someone who feels the same way.

If I can play a Smooth Operator in such a setting, with decent combat skills as a backup, I'm pretty happy. I like to investigate, and get to know the NPCs, and create my own side-goals that (mostly) don't conflict with the party's overarching interests.

If all we're doing is going from one fight scene to the next, then I'm still willing to play. However, that's because I want to hang out with my friends -- the game, itself, won't compel my interest.

In the old GNS Theory (yes, I know it has it's problems...), I definitely skew away from the "Gamist" point, and toward the side of the triangle between Narrativist and Simulationist.
