You are free to replay a scenario in order to meet the minimum legal table size (see Chapter 7), but once you have reached that limit, you do not earn any additional rewards beyond having a good time.

If the table is already at the minimum legal limit, you do not receive the award that you get if you are the one that makes the table legal.

A player replaying a scenario in order for the table to reach the minium table size should (in this instance only) be given a Chronicle for the scenario, though marked to earn 0 Gold, 0 Fame, 0 XP; it does not allow the character to make a ‘Day Job’ check, no boons, item access, or anything else appearing on the Chronicle might provide for having played the scenario. This Chronicle only serves as a placeholder to indicate the character participated in the adventure, and gives a place for consumables, purchases, and conditions to be tracked from playing through the adventure. This is the only exception to not having two of the same Chronicle assigned to one character.

So, it seems that if you replay in order to allow a table to happen at all, the reward you get is a chronicle for your character and you have to track consumables and conditions (including death).

If you are replaying on a table that would have happened anyway, you don't receive a chronicle, don't track consumables and can't die.

I can see a reason for having that the other way round, but this way round doesn't make sense to me - why make allowing a table to happen less beneficial than adding on to an existing table?

I think you are overthinking this. The guide means "You are free to replay a scenario, but you do not earn any additional rewards beyond having a good time."

IE every character that replays a table gets the zero'd chronicle.

There is still no language in the guide allowing replays "just for fun." But, I would imagine that if you did allow someone to do so, they would get the same Zero'd chronicle as a character replaying to make a legal table.

There is no language in the guide that bans replays. A GM can choose to deny replay for any reason, but the guide does not do so. It just attempts to specify how to handle a person replaying. It's clear that they don't get credit again (except for certain scenarios), but the wording is murky on how to handle chronicles.

To be clear, I'm eager to make sure that replay is allowed even when a table is already legal as it is sometimes the only way for someone to have any game that night.
