Send us Fan MailThe 8 Types of TTRPG Players (And Their Strengths and Pitfalls)Welcome back to the table—this week, the whole party’s here! Tori took us down a delightful rabbit hole into the world of player archetypes that pop up at so many TTRPG tables.Which one sounds like you (or your friends)?StorytellersExplorersTacticiansActorsSlayersJokersGuardiansCollectorsMost players lean into one archetype but dip into others over the course of a campaign.
