FINAL SCORE: ??? / 50
Haven't played a game in the historical or 'other' genre.
Haven't played a game with a comedic tone.
Haven't played a character with the 'other' gender.
Haven't played a character with a classical type or 'other' type race.
Haven't played a character with the abstract or malevolent alignments.
I've bailed from a game under false pretenses, lied about the result of a roll, created a character so bad that someone noticed and succumbed to degeneracy.
38/50 for me.
Bump, will do this with time

Not even as bad as I thought I was going to score. Cool list.

ROLES PLAYED 2/2
>GM, Player
GENRES 4/5
>Fantasy, Modern,Science Fiction, Other
I've not played any strictly historical. The closest was a time travel game, but I'm not counting that. I am, however, counting Toon under Other, because cartoon reality doesn't fit in any of the other categories.
TONES 5/5
>Light, Dark, Comedy, Horror, Other
For Other, I did an anime-ish message board game one time. I'm not sure if that counts, but I've also done magical realm, so I'm in the clear.
EXPERIENCES 5/5

RACES 5/5
>Human Type (White, Black, Asian, etc)
All of those listed.
>Classical Type (Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, etc)
All of those listed.
>Exotic Type (Tiefling, Angel, Fairy, etc)
I've played at least one character with demon blood, and possibly a fairy, depending on your definition. No angel that I can recall.
>Monster Type (Orc, Vampire, Mutant, etc)
No orcs, but vampires and lots of mutants.
>Other (Robot, Ethereal, Autism, etc)
A plant girl. A construct. Probably others as well.
BUILDS 5/5
>Strength Type, Magic Type, Skill Type, Charisma Type, Other
I've played 'em all.
APPEARANCES 4/5
>Beautiful, Attractive, Average, Unattractive
I don't know that I've ever done Grotesque. I've done monstrous and alien, but that seems different. I was thinking I've never played an unattractive female, but I actually have. She was a high charisma character despite her appearance. My concept for the next character I want to play is a high-constitution, female, ex-NotRoman soldier dwarf with a lump of a face, like a mashed-in piece of clay. She'd be all about diligence and NotRoman engineering.
ALIGNMENTS 5/5
>All?
I'm not sure what you mean by "abstract", but I've probably played it.
PERSONALITIES 5/5
>Aggressive, Refined, Cool Type, Reserved, Quirky
That's 48/50. Not bad.

I don't think I ever really participated in a campaign without actually roleplaying, at least not in a game that actually included role-playing.
49/55
>>51838113
hey, uh, hmu
So the lesson I'm learning here is that the majority of RPG players have succumbed to degeneracy.
