I think that pulling off a groundhog day scenario can be workable (and fun) if, like a movie) the group only replays what’s different. So for instance, if there is a fight in a room at a certain time… well the group only plays it once and we all assume that it went the same way, unless the group agrees to replay it in order to achieve a different outcome.

I’d do the same for all scenes that are repeated.

Aside from that, re-playing scenes would seem to get kind of boring. But I do greatly appreciate those times when you get to play with the minds of your players. I would enjoy ‘resetting’ a scene, with the PC’s oblivious to this fact.

Yes, I would bask in the darkness of their confusion and frustration when the whole town acts like they never saw them, while they slew Stinky McEvil, the [insert chromatic value] dragon yonder behind ye olde hills, for them just minutes ago… Muha
