So, what kinda player are you?

robin_d_laws, the greatest GM in history, has pointed folks to another "what kind of gamer test".

Now, I'm usually loathe to do these kinds of things (ever since some OKCupid test told me I was gouda. Stupid fucking OKCupid!), but since it's designed to help you find out what kind of gamer you are based on the character types outlined in Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering (go on, get yourself a copy), I figure that counts extra.

So, the result is:

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. </td> Storyteller 75% Character Player 70% Power Gamer 55% Tactician 50% Weekend Warrior 45% Casual Gamer 45% Specialist 15% What RPG Player (Not Character) Type Are You? created with QuizFarm.com

That's kind of surprising, both in that I normally view myself as a casual gamer. Eh, well. I figured I would score low on Specialist (unlike, I'm sure, someone I could name) but I assumed Weekend Warrior and Casual Gamer would be higher.

I scored as Storyteller, too, but I'm not so surprised. :)

I scored as a Character Player, and it's so true -- I'm one of those people who'll generate characters in gaming systems I'll likely never even play, just for the fun of it. Then draw their picture. ^_^

Yeah, that was my second result, and considering that I used to do the exact same thing (except for the picture drawing) I can see why.
