Writing isn't meant to be conducive to speaking, however sensible that might be. Writing is meant to be conducive to grammatically correct writing.:mad17:
It's either
An NPC
or
A non playable character.
DUH

Except if you read NPC you're still supposed to say Non Player Character.
What, I always say NPC.

In all technicality your suppose to say whatever is on the paper. If it reads NPC, its said En - pee - see.Except if you read NPC you're still supposed to say Non Player Character.
It's no different then abriviations and conjunctions. If it reads "It's" it is not pronounced "It is:", it's pronounced "it's."
GRAMMAR.
On topic, what everyone else said.

I use "a" and "an" just like I would for any other word. I also don't care that I do it wrong.
'An NPC' sounds nicer to me if it's pronounced as an acronym. If I were speaking, I would say 'an' and so I tend to write it that way. If I were to expand the acronym and say 'non-player character' then of course, I would shove an 'a' before it.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
