	Typically rollplayers are better suited for games of medium rule set. Something not arbitrary enough where it does not matter, (i.e. [[World of Darkness]]) but not so rules heavy that any alteration can slowdown a game by decades (i.e. [[GURPS]]).		Many of these kinds of players enjoy the game itself: the rules, the statistics, the gameplay, and the interactions between far-flung mechanics and vastly disparate class builds.
