| Do you as the GM play with the characters? I only have a group of 3 (including me) and am not sure if I should play with the characters or not |

| Not directly... what I mean is the GM should use their GMC's(Game Master Characters) to "play" with the PC's... it would be weird and kinda hard to be a GM and PC all at once, plus you'd be a PC that knew what the GM was going to do next. |

Depending on the number of players, I'll have a character that I play. Usually its a droid... they're easy. Don't have to worry to much about personality unless I want, and I can design them to fill a gap in the PC's skill list. Usually as a gunner or a medic... something along those lines.

M y usual GM often has a character who they play so that the stary can get along, or so somebody can make people act in interesting ways. Plus sometimes people who are usually PCs GM because they have a good idea or something.

with that small a group of players though it may be hard at first i would probably play a character as a gm it is actually pretty easy to get offed so if none of your players made a "im the Muscle character" i would make something like that, big and stupid. that way as the gm your character isn't really smart enough to offer ideas up to your pc's. in our group i play a barbel and you can always use your gm character as a focus too. maybe a bureacrat. someone the pc's have to protect... but thats a better mission than a group....
