Re: Robin D. Laws Player Types Quiz
#3 TT vs MA: Accomplishing party objectives trumps role-playing opportunities.
Quote:
#5. MA vs BK: My characters need a fully-realized, personal, in-game motivation to fight. Quote:
My characters engage—or don't engage—in combat out of inner, personal, motivation. 12. SP vs BK: All my characters approach combat situations in the same way. Quote:
25. CG vs MA: My characters are pretty much just me, but with special abilities. Quote:
I forget/don't bother properly role-playing my character if it annoys another player. 38. TT vs SP: I’m willing to play any character that is integral to achieving the campaigns goals. Quote:
My characters are uniquely designed to effectively overcome the in-game obstacles. 40. SP vs TT: Since I play the same type of character, everyone knows what to expect from me. Quote:
I’m changing this one to: I play my favorite character concept even when it means I'll be less effective. 41. ST vs MA: My satisfaction comes from my character's involvement within the larger story. Quote:
My satisfaction comes from the larger story, not my character’s personal story. As always, I welcome feedback, especially any will reduce bias in the questions.

Re: Robin D. Laws Player Types Quiz
My latest try at it shows Method Actor 63%; Storyteller 58%; Tactitian 50%; Power Gamer 38%; Casual Gamer 33%; Butt-Kicker 25%; and Specialist 8%. That more or less fits how I perceive myself. In particular, I very consciously and deliberately try to play a new character type in each new campaign, most of the time, to expand my roleplaying range; thus, in different campaigns, I've deliberately set out to play an upper-class twit, a habitual liar and BSer, an adrenalin-addicted combat monster, a young idealist, and a skilled persuader.

Re: Robin D. Laws Player Types Quiz
I'm by far a Tactician, then a Casual Gamer. That's OK with me.
I like not to be a Butt-Kicker or a one-trick pony. But I was surprised to see I rate relatively high on Power Gaming. I think it's also a good thing not to have any very low or very high scores. Power Gamer: 42% Butt-Kicker: 25% Tactician: 75% Specialist: 25% Method Actor: 54% Storyteller: 42% Casual Gamer: 58% |

My impression is that not having any very low or high scores probably means you’re an easy to please player. An exception would be a very low Specialist score: you’d still be easy to please.
