Re: Robin D. Laws Player Types Quiz
Some of the questions, when phrased as "I would do A even if it means I can't do B" can lead to issues where you don't really assign any significant importance to either A or B. I tended to rate those in the middle, but some of them I rated low as I was a situation of "I actively don't like A, but have no strong feelings about B."

Re: Robin D. Laws Player Types Quiz
Not really. I tend to like a flavorful game with a lot of depth but I also expect to optimize and use good tactics if I'm going to do well. So it kind of all fits.
So good story but real challenge to player skill is probably where I'm at and I think the scores reflect that. |

Power Gamer: 58%
Butt-Kicker: 42% Tactician: 75% Specialist: 0% Method Actor: 88% Storyteller: 79% Casual Gamer: 29% I’m a bit surprised that Power-Gamer is so high, and I would have thought Method Actor and Story-Teller were in the reverse order.

Re: Robin D. Laws Player Types Quiz
Power Gamer: 67%
Butt-Kicker: 54% Tactician: 71% Specialist: 38% Method Actor: 25% Storyteller: 50% Casual Gamer: 29% I'm honestly surprised my "specialist" score wasn't lower. I did answer "rarely" to "I play whatever kind of character everybody else thinks we need", because while I may check in with other players to avoid stepping on their niche, I ultimately feel confident in my ability to understand the system well enough to make my own choices. But that choice frequently differs game to game! Similarly answering "rarely" to "I choose/design my characters to provide me a compelling role-playing challenge."—I'm just not much of a method actor at all. |

Re: Robin D. Laws Player Types Quiz
Well, by (my recollection of ) Robin's definition, a "Specialist" is someone that always tries to play a specific type of character. E.g. someone who—regardless of the setting or genre—always comes up with a character that is obviously a ninja. Based on what you said, that's doesn't sound like you, and it's pretty rare for someone to score 0% on anything; so 38% is fairly indicative of "that's not me".
