my quiz came out as such:
You Scored as Storyteller

You're more inclined toward the role playing side of the equation and less interested in numbers or experience points. You're quick to compromise if you can help move the story forward, and get bored when the game slows down for a long planning session. You want to play out a story that moves like it's orchestrated by a skilled novelist or film director.

You Scored as Method Actor

You think that gaming is a form of creative expression. You may view rules as, at best, a necessary evil, preferring sessions where the dice never come out of the bag. You enjoy situations that test or deepen your character's personality traits.

Yup, I came up Storyteller.  Sounds about right.  On some of my best gaming nights the character sheet never even came out of the folder.

I don't know if I agree with the assessment.   I like combat.  I like rolling the dice, I just don't think its as important as the story and character development.   I'd have expected tactician to be higher.

I guess I can live with the bottom two.  While I don't think I am either, I guess I'd rather be a power gamer than a casual one.

Iteresting concept for a poll. My wife being the political scientist would comment on how the poll was constructed (i.e lack of cross-indexing questions etc) and that it seems to stear most of us towards the story-telling method acting archtypes with subtle cues about the hack and slash gamers.... but thats besides the point! Good link.


Ohh Story teller.

I'm a Tactician. No one who knows me is terribly surprised at this.  ;D (Though they might be at my pre edit grammar...  :-[ )

Wow.  There's a shocker.  Especially when you consider that I was wargamer for about a decade before ever picking up an rpg book.  8-)

Also, before switching to engineering & math in college, I was a drama & communication major for two years, and before that I was a 4-year lettermen in high school drama.  Yeah.. I got all that play-acting out of my system already.  ;)
