What's your gaming style?

[Caracol]

According to this test, (http://quizfarm.com/quiz_repository/Fashion/9166/) I scored 92% Storyteller and 92% Butt-kicker. I suppose this means that I'm really interested in roleplaying my character, be part of a complex storyline, and that I enjoy killing everything that moves meanwhile.

My least similar style is powergamer.

How about you?

[adanedhel9]

According to the test, I'm a Tactician. Seems reasonable; I have a hard time not optimizing my responses to in-game situations.

Which is the same reason my lowest score is on Method Actor.

[Kaelaroth]

I'm an 83% Method Actor, followed by a 67% Storyteller. My lowest was Casual Gamer, at 33%. I think that's pretty accurate, really.

[Dragor]

I'm a Method Actor, apparently. I can agree with that.

[randman22222]

Tactician here as well. But I don't like the description it gives. It seems too centered around rules. I like to roleplay, but I typically roleplay a thinker. I guess this is why Storyteller came second for me, by only a couple percent.

Casual gamer was what I least was, which is true...

I actually think this quiz was fairly accurate, though I would've switched my top two styles, if it were me looking at myself.

You scored as a Power Gamer
The Power Gamer wants to make his character bigger, tougher, buffer, and richer. However success is defined in your game, that's what you want. You want the "game" put back into "roleplaying game," and you want the chance to add shiny new abilities to your character sheet.

My least was a tie with 25% casual gamer and power gamer. When I played WoW, I hated to power level, I rather would like to expirence every aspect of the game, so I think that is true.

25%I guess... I enjoy the odd fight when im playing, but DMing (which I do most) I really like the dialogue and plot more than anything else. Probably because the only way to get half my players attention is by doing something that involves all of them (otherwise they never pay attention)

EDIT: Now that I read the thread, wow, I'm surprised that I'm not a method actor. That sounds just like me

[wxdruid]

100 per cent Butt Kicker; 92 per cent Storyteller. Probably more of the latter than the former, but I do enjoy killing things a lot. :smallamused: Power Gamer is my least definable trait at 25 per cent.

I would say this is pretty accurate, because when I'm a PC, I tend to be sort of "Let's hurry this **** along and cut to the dungeoneering!" And as I said, I really like killing things.

Here's what the test had to say:

"You like a straightforward combat character. After a long day at the office, you want to clobber foes and once more prove your superiority over all who would challenge you."

In other words ....

My friend thinks the two are like yin and yang, two opposite sides of the same coin. What do you guys think?

I think that you want your gaming sessions to be "realistic" (as much as a game with fireballs and dragons could be realistic.) You want to impersonate your character and roll the less you can, but also want to have clear rules when it comes to challenging situation.
I don't think they are two opposite sides, since they regard different areas of your gaming behaviour: you want to roleplay, but also to plan situations.

Storyteller, Method Actor, and Power Gamer regard your attitude towards the roleplaying,

Tactician, Specialist and Buttkicker regard your in-game behaviour, what are you able to do and how you do it.

Two of these aspects could coexist, unlike two different aspects of the same attidute (Like roleplay and powerplay, since they are so different.)

Poweplayer and Storyteller, istead, ARE opposites, and that's why I didn't see anyone score two high results in this (and why I can't stand to be in a party with a powerplayer for more than three minutes)

Ok, I admit that once the chips are down, I actually enjoy combat, especially at low levels when tactics is pretty much the only thing you have going for yourself.

Seeing as I'm usually the GM though... yeah, presenting the party with distinct and complex NPC's and then nearly slaughtering them with a bunch of kobolds seems about right.
