Most of us know about the clasification of magic players into Timmy, Spike, Johnny and that made up one that doesn't actually play the game. These different groups get their enjoyment of the game in different ways.
But how would you classify RPG players? Would you do it the same way, with Spike's being munchkins and Timmy rolling as many dice as possible? Would it be by the role they play as e.g. striker or tank? Maybe you could even use the player's position on the roleplay rollplay continuum. Or is there some other way you would classify RPG players.
The same way, with the difference being that Johnny is more likely to break the game than Spike in RPGs.

Would a subservient healer(male) be a Johnny, Timmy or a Spike?
>>50995860
it'd be a fucking faggot
>>50995860
A Johnny if he is playing a healer cause he likes healing, a spike if he feels that a healer will strengthen the party more than a different role he could have played
>>50993424
Spike would be a munchkin
Johnny would delve into all the obscure splatbooks and third party stuff to make the weirdest characters possible
Timmy would focus on dramatic an impressive actions possible, which may involve either of the above
>>50995860
Probably Johnny, since Johnny likes to see things work together.

Johnny if he wrote an in depth backstory for the character or focused on optimizing the best healer build they could.
Spike if he chose to play a healer because no one else was playing a class that supports the party and keeps them alive, and want to avoid a TPK.
Timmy if he likes to feel the appreciation of the other players for helping them out.
Been a while since I've seen these cards, anyone got handy images of them?
