Dan

Veteran TTRPG player in his 30's who has returned to the (now virtual) table to roll some dice after a long time away from everything. Timezone is EST.

Using the Player Archetypes presented here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQsJSqn71Fw - I'd say I am:

• Player x Audience Member? Definitely a Player if I'm familiar with the system. Happy to be an Audience Member to learn a new one.
• Power Gamer (30%). Whatever role I must perform in the group, when I roll dice I like to stack the odds in my favor. I love combat but if my role is to be the face/social character, same thing goes.
• Tactician (35%). I'm always trying to connect the dots in my head to "crack" the adventure, but I keep all of that to myself if it's not suitable for the character to be overly analytical.
• Actor/Storyteller (35%). Actor as in I have a very good idea of who my character is and I RP that character to the limit. Strong preference to play with people that speak in character most of the time instead of narrating what their characters/NPCs said. Character VA always a big plus. Storyteller 100%, except "changing my character's personality so that something dramatically appropriate happens". That is crazy to me.

Things I Dislike:
- Inventory Management RP. Some people think it's cool to waste 30+ minutes haggling and bartering in-character with the merchant NPC they'll never see again before they leave town. I'm not one of those people. In some games (like D&D) inventory management matters but that doesn't mean it should be carried out in character or during the session.
