Would there be a penalty to a player who plays Senario 1 with character 1 and then sends character 2 through the same senario (as a silent assistant)? The purpose is to give 3 people who have not played the senario a fourth character for the table.

What you are referring to is commonly known as "ghosting", and as noted before is against the rules, even if your intentions are good. Mainly the reason for this is to prevent meta-gaming a party to success.

Mainly the reason for this is to prevent meta-gaming a party to success. That's assuming the scenario is that memorable. I've played at least one game twice by mistake, and in one case didn't actually realise it until well into the module (about 3/4 the way through) that I'd previously done it. My PC got in trouble and I was looking for favours on past ARs to get him out of it when I discovered the AR sitting in the stack. At that point the GM ruled that the PC was never there and he promptly disappeared from said game. I decided to stay and watch everyone else play. The funny thing was, even after the game finished, I didn't actually recall ever playing it. :)

Seriously though, to prevent this everyone should make a list of mods they have played, and for cores and your regions mods, a list of the ones you haven't and, if needed, which characters have played previous parts of the series.

Seriously though, to prevent this everyone should make a list of mods they have played, and for cores and your regions mods, a list of the ones you haven't and, if needed, which characters have played previous parts of the series. I've got a spreadsheet that divides everything into year, then into type (core, each type of regional, each type of meta regional) and then lists for every module Module code Name of the Module Type (Core, Core Special, Regional, Regional Interactive, Regional Minimission, etc) Date Played Location Played AR Number (in format of "Character Name #") Having the location often is enough to jog my memory if I'm trying to recall specific details about the module. Once you've got your list created, it's easy to keep it up...
Redfist 02-19-07, 06:14 PM	I just use www.nyrond.org. Any player can (any region). It's a great place to keep track of the mods you play, with which characters, etc. It's also a well known place for authors to visit to read reviews of their mods. --Gordon
