Law's Game Style

You scored as a 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.

Yes, I know it's another quiz result, and I'm sorry, but I think there is a lesson to be learned here. Take a moment and check out the scores of some of the others in my group at Stupidranger.com you'll see that my results are a bit different than those of my comrades. Does that mean I'm a bad fit with the rest of the group? No, but it does add dimensions to play that should be taken into account. Our group is heavily weighted towards fluff that means we spend lots of time in character and our character's personalities drive the action. My style of play however suggests that I feel most involved and have the most fun as a player when I know that the DM has a good understanding of the way our characters tick and is using that to create conflict, incentive, challenge, and rewards that allow us the freedom to play "off the rails" sometimes but also gives us good reasons to care about the plot.
One of our players was DMing another group for a while that was very hack and slash oriented. That group worked well because they were happy to battle their way through whole sessions. A real challenge for a DM would be having one group that contained power gamers, some hack'n'slasher, and fluffy types. If the golden rule of DMing is "Everybody at the table has fun," a group like this would present a wobbly highwire.
