Makin' my blorbos smooch is what gets me through the hard times

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

I'm creating a game, but there aren't any characters I currently want to play. Would it seem weird for a mod to not play a character in their game? Would your opinion about that change if the mod was playing NPCs?

unless you went out of your way to make it weird, like prompt 2 on the tdm was a big guilt trip or you complained about not wanting to play characters right on the app, no

also no

i might find it weird if the game is so small it is obvious if the mod isn't playing because personally i'd pick up a character just to drum up more excitement in threads, but that's because i am very good at being active and quick at the beginning of a game.

if the game is big from the get-go, i probably wouldn't even know if the mod had a character or not.

I've had great experiences in games where the mods only had npcs - that said, most of those were plot heavy games where the presence of NPCs in the test drive and first event were signs of how the game would continue. It depends how the NPCs will help to drive engagement, especially in the early stages of the game
