- How so? TheWiseDane (talk) 06:48, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- My guess? The whole everything; the "crunchy roles" and "fluffy roles" not so much describing different niches a player character might fill in a group of adventurers so much as specific rundowns of every kind of character class however obscure, just with different names attached. This article is in need of focus, I think. Nathan the Mouse (talk) 09:35, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- It can have both I'd say. I mean, when I made this part of the page, I was aiming for a "What combat roles are there" and "What roleplaying roles are there" - That someone took it on themselves to make it into social encounter roles wasn't my plan. I've been thinking about adding something like "Social Roles", to serve that role. TheWiseDane (talk) 10:00, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- If it's anything like the 3 "Story Roles" I stuck on the end of the page, then I can write up some more Groggarioth (talk) 20:28 UK Time, 5th February 2015
- That's exactly it, though it might need to be a bit less "Noble knight" and more "The noble hero" - Not so much the cliches and more the social roles they take in the party. If I ever get the time (which i don't), I'll help you. TheWiseDane (talk) 08:01, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

What is this, TVTropes?[edit]
There's no need to explain every single permutation of a party member's role on this page. If anything, we should cut out the story roles completely and perhaps the other roles as well and prune the page down to the bare essentials. In it s current state, it's a mess, plain and simple. Has nobody ever heard of the phrase "brevity is the soul of wit"?--Newerfag (talk) 01:16, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- I can agree to it being a mess, but I don't see all the fuzz about there being a lot of info. We could put it on another page, if we want it, or simply cut them down, but removing months work (useless work, but work none the less) seem a bit harsh to me. I mean, it doesn't hurt anyone, does it? If anything, it only helps. What makes 40k great to me, for example, is that there's loads and loads of lore: Way too much, really, but it's all good and lets the setting stand out. Why should this be any different?

- Agreed, and even at it's worst there was no need to delete everything!'Dragonkingofthestars (talk) 04:50, 28February 2015 (UTC)
- Leave the archetype bullshit to TVTropes- it's unfunny and boring to put it lightly. Like I said, 1d4chan is not TVTropes so stop treating it as such..--Newerfag (talk) 14:54, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
- So your gonna delate everything from the game master page then? again, and even at it's worst there was no need to delete everything particularly since you seem to be the only one with his buns in a twist over this. By that logic we should delate all our history pages since we "are not Wikipedia".'Dragonkingofthestars (talk) 08:36, 28February 2015 (UTC)
- We've already resolved the situation amicably on the Party Archetypes page. Don't start any further shit on this now and keep in mind that sometimes less really is more. --Newerfag (talk) 08:03, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
