I might have to do a sequel. I left out:
MegaSook, the guy with a stupidly powerful character who gets all huffy if he takes so much as a scratch from those pathetic monsters;
Rules Fiend, the guy who insists on looking up the rulebook at the slightest provocation, usually to correct the DM (a deadly activity in my campaigns); and
The Non Sequitur Roleplayer, who comes to bizarre and unfounded conclusions and then insists on sidetracking the planned adventure so he can go off on some side-quest the DM never anticipated.
Take a look at the List of Player Types. There should be a list of types of GMs, also. Such as...
Evil God. The GM who creates massively overpowered NPCs, inspiring fear and paranoia with the players. "It's not powergaming as long as I'm GM."
Plot 'Hole. The GM who refuses to let a little thing like the players interfere with his planned storyline. "He tells you that Men in Black have been seen in the area..."
"Too much for us to handle. We better not mess with it."
"On the way back, you run into a Man in Black."
Now that I think of it, I should try doing a Knights of the Dinner Table sort of strip here...

I have RPGing in mind since a scenario I wrote is probably going to be used at a convention.
Little do they know I've never even played the game I wrote that story for...
