I'm glad to be of help, my friend. I ran Beneath the Broken Sword again last night while making a couple of adjustments for 3 PCs, just as a test run. I increased the number of monsters and dialed up or down their difficulty and the rewards/charges in relics, etc. because the idea was that each PC would go on their own solo journey after being carried away by the great ravens. This will enable the whole co-op mode with the effigy stone later. I also honed in on the atmosphere and description, evoking some Beowulf-inspired kennings on the way.
So, alas, my question is: do you have some additional advice for 2+ PCs? And finally, on a Norse-related note, do you have a favourite Norse myth or saga?
Thank you in advance. Cheers, and all the best!

I'm having a blast with this game. It is quickly becoming a favourite of mine and I can't wait to see where the adventures lead beyond the Cave of Echoes for the two co-op groups I've started. Elegant design and truly easy to get into.
I did have a question about the Parry skill, though. The Warrior's text states that Parry (reaction, key item) is essentially deflection and riposte for damage advantage on a success; on the other hand, the Equipment skills section text states the same but double damage instead of dmg adv. Is this on purpose, and if so, is the Warrior's Parry skill supposed to be slightly superior or less risky with damage advantage, especially on a failed save?
Thank you so much for such a cool game. Cheers all the way from Venezuela.
