The one who makes the group bond. In the first session of the last campaign I ran, one character just started nicknaming these people he had ended up with. It really helped inter-party dynamics emerge more quickly.

As a player, I'm somewhere between The Roleplayer and Rule Lawyer. As to my favorite player type, I'm with @dadsoldshop.bsky.social, and pick "The Record Keeper".

Yes

I love having role players at the table. I myself, am a record keeper.

Honestly, the note taker 😭 cause I'm a forgetful DM and I always check in with them before the next session to see if there's something I missed.

This is elegance made digital.

I prefer crunchy games, so a rules lawyer, aka. someone who reads the damn book, is always welcome at my games. Depending on table, I can wear different hats. Usually in con games I’m “the roleplayer” as others kill the vibe fast.

the Tank who's not a Tank and who tends to miss strategy discussions... LEEROYYY JENKINS!! i decline to comment as to which archetype i may or may not be.

I love the players who pay attention and know their PC's action when their turns come around. (To be fair, we play Champions, possibly the slowest combat system ever.)

Honestly - I'm a huge fan of the co-author. Yes, please add details to my world! Please do make my job easier!

The note taker or the story driver. Pull that lever, talk to that NPC, grab dat gem. Make story happen. I am a story driver when I am not GMing.

The studious one who takes notes and asks questions based on what I've provided. Me? Tech if possible. I'm going to be a mechanic of some sort. Forge or Stark type. Else, fast. I want to be first and last. 2 months after VTM came out, I joined with Fleetness. It was only three dots to max out.

Enjoy the tactical types for sure.

We're playing in "Arduin", and Hargrave listed Christianity on his long list of pantheons active in the multiverse. Can I pass up the chance to play a Christian in a fantasy RPG? No, reader, I cannot. 2/2

The charismatic one who everyone thinks has no brains but actually is hella smart!

I am the note taker and my DMs know it’s about to go down when I start rapidly flipping through my notes and going “oh no. Oh NO” as soon as they sprinkle in a little hint because they know my character is about to become the party conspiracy theorist 🤣

I like em all and I try to be the guy who gives the gm good fodder for the story

I'm an actor by trade, so rp is my love. I want a good story we all tell together. But I also love the challenge the rules create as a framework. Not a rules lawyer, because I also love rule of cool, but I love a good flavorful reason to use a mechanic, and I appreciate a GM who rewards it.

At least for me, when i am the game master, then i appreciate all of those archetypes of players. When i am a player and not game master (so rare!), then mostly i appreciate another player to be a tactician.

This was the missing answer I wanted. I love Record Keepers, they help me run great campaigns. LOL

Party face - shortens the indecision stoppages and roleplays the most with NPCs.

The quiet one who’s been listening for an hour and then says the one thing that changes the whole plan. I’m usually the tactician who tries not to look like the tactician.
