@lordbelh said in Leadership, Spotlight, and PCs of Staffers:
The only times I run things that include my character is if it's an impromptu bit of plottage that only's come about because we were bored with a social scene and decided to do something more with it. Occasionally that'll span over a few more scenes, and involve the kind of character centered progression that are usually lacking in regular PRPs.
I would separate those sort of 'prps', as well as in general any kind of private character development 'prps', from the public 'affect the world at large' style prps or staff run plots. The latter types shouldn't involve your own character, especially if you're a staffer. As for the former.. if its all about you anyway, you might as well tell it any way you like.
^ This kind of thing I have never had any issue with, and think it would be a shame to lose if people get too antsy about the subject.
I've done this, too.

<OOC> surreality's alt says, "I have a one-shot monster-of-the-week plot with bigfoot I'm going to run in a couple of days that's public and posted to +events and will be set here, anyone mind if I throw in a sighting of the mysterious beast on the other side of the park and some people running up to freak out about what they just saw? Was thinking of asking on channel to see if anybody else wants to join the scene, if that sounds like it could be fun, and it might get a few more folks involved or signing up."
...etc. I have zero issue with these kinds of things, but I think one of the key things here is to ask first. (And in the last case, make a genuine effort to be inclusive.)
