If a character dies, then the player has a choice to continue to play that character as a zombie. At that point, they will have new hp and a different set of rules to follow, but they will still be in play until they are killed a second time. Once a character dies as a zombie, then the character will be out of the game. Similarly, a character will be out of the game once they die if they choose not to be a zombie.

Also regarding running once, we have tentatively decided to do one run per idol but if there is interest and space, we are considering upping it to two runs per idol. So if people would prefer two (or one), feel free to let us know.
