That's one of the things that prompted this line of thought. The ones I know are three power gamers and a butt-kicker, to use Robin's terminology. I can't make up my mind about one of the others that I've gamed with, and the other 3 I don't know about (though I suspect that two of them are storytellers). I'm more the storyteller type, I suppose, with some method-actor thrown in.

It's looking very unlikely that I'll be running a game with this group because of the differences in our attitudes.
