Which are you?!

[Adriorn Darkcloak]

Remembered this the other day from when I was growing up. We always had a blast reading it after we found it on an old BBS. Many apply to Toril....many.... Very funny stuff, if you're a huge nerd like myself. I had a hard time finding it until I remembered one of my favorite parts: "Amoral Silly" and googled it.


REAL MEN, REAL ROLEPLAYERS, LOONIES AND MUNCHKINS
By Jeff Okamoto, Sandy Petersen, and lots of others

The whole thing started around 1983 or so at a party at Pacificon at the Dunfey
Hotel in San Mateo in which the idea came up of classifying the different styles
of roleplaying. They came up with four different types, which are explained
below. Special credit goes to Perry Caro, Chris Guthrie, Rick Heli, Robert
Allen, and Ken Kaufman, to name a few.

The Real Man:
The tough macho type who walks up to the attacking dragon and tells him to
leave before he gets hurt.

The Real Roleplayer:
The intelligent cunning guy who tricks the constable into letting you all out
of prison.

The Loonie:
The guy who will do anything for a cheap laugh, including casting a fireball at
ground zero.

The Munchkin:
Need we say more?
