Hey all, this is something I've been thinking of doing. Basically, I'd print out this quiz and have the players fill it out and that would help give me an idea of the type of game/adventures that they'd like to play. I've always found that simply asking doesn't really give you the info needed (I usually get back "Something fun" or "Something awesome".. A couple examples below. Note this isn't the final formating of it or anything, just examples of questions that will probably be on it.
-Scale of 1-5, how much exploring?
-Scale of 1-5, how much dungeoneering?
-Scale of 1-5, how much intrigue?
-Scale of 1-5, 1 being nearly all urban and 5 being nearly all wilderness, where would you prefer to adventure?
I guess that's all I got so far, it's a work in progress, haha. So, have ideas, suggestions, comments or whatever?
What's a dazzling urbanite like me doing in a rustic adventure setting like this?
Exploring 4
Dungeoneering 3
Intrigue 3
Urban 4
Maybe also add a 1-5 scale for how much combat? I would be
Combat 3
Exploring: 2
Dungeoneering: 1
Intrigue: 5
Urban: 1
Combat: 1
Perhaps a social/interaction modifier, to compliment the combat, as well? To measure how much important interaction with non-player characters they would like.
Social: 4
Awesome, I'll add those for sure and thanks for the response!
For me...
Exploring: 1
Dungeoneering: 3
Intrigue: 5
Urban V Wild: 1
Combat: 3
Social: 4
More suggestions welcome!
