I apologize if this has been asked before (if so, just provide the link and I'll look it up), but may players play the same mission with a different character?

By my understanding there is nothing preventing this full karma and money allowed. It goes without saying that if there are people at the table who have not played the module you'll want them to be in the driver's seat.

Here's the post on dumpshock where this got re-affirmed. http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=31584&hl=deadheading

Agreed.  As long as the characters change, there is nothing stopping from someone playing through a mission as many times as they like.

Just follow the "don't be a dick" rule (I really want to put that in the FAQ, but don't think I could get away with it).

Don't spoil the adventure for those who haven't played and don't "cheat" and take shortcuts.  Generally you should step back and take a passive role in any game you've already played so that the new players can direct the action and experience things.

You might be able to get away with:  "Don't be a slot."

You might be able to get away with:  "Don't be a slot."
Or "Don't be a drek-head".

Although, admittedly, we'd be confusing /dev/grrl with talk like this.  ;D

Personally I would think we could put don't be a dick in there. This is a game about shooting people in the face for money after all.

Mr. Johnson:  "In the FACE!  THE FACE!  Was that so hard to understand?  Why did you gut shoot him and leave him laying in a gutter full of broken glass for a half-hour before breaking his neck?"

Painful but more likely to bleed out quicker.  Gut wounds? painful and slow...

Family with medical backgrounds and horror stories here.  Not much on GSW, but a lot on other types of injuries that, well, it doesn't take much imagination to make it a GSW.

I knew someone who made a videogame where a NPC shoots someone in the groin.
The main character was like,
"WTF? THE GROIN? REALLY?" >:(
