In regards to GMs preferring to play as tehir own cahracters, I have come up with a solution and will apply it to my Destiny RPG, which WILL be starting as soon as I can get up my first post -- animepsycho has given me permission to start without him, I just need to type up an intro post and figure out a way for him to come in late. Anyway, I have decided to post in third-person as an omniscient GM aside from playing my characters. I think this will not only allow me to get in on the fun, but it will also allow me to control the plot more. I think this is a good idea, if I do say so myself.
