Okay, I'm curious to see if I'm the only person who does this: When I'm listening to an AP I find myself thinking about what character I would have rolled up for the adventure. Then, as the story progresses, I think about what this hypothetical character would have done. How would they feel about a particular party member? What part would they have played in a combat? Would they have had been useful to have around in a moment the party hit a gap in their skill set? I'm kind of hoping I'm not just that rp deprived that I have to pretend that I'm playing along with cool people, but that this is a normal (or at least semi-common) experience. Please, help me validate my neurosis.

Not weird at all. I must admit I don’t roll up a new character in my head but I imagine what my character would have done. All. The. Time.

I do think about what kind of character I would play in that game, but I don't actually make one. Unless it a Supers game, never really want to play that genre anymore.

That's weird. Also: I'm weird.

You’re weird. All of you.
Then again being primarily a GM for the past several decades I just don’t look at games that way. I am always listening to GMing technique and things like that.
So yeah. You’re probably not weird for a player.
