Which Tome Should I Play?
*************************

The Land Beyond is designed for 3 player characters, and they're joined by non-player characters Durge and Lotharien Ruu.  Average difficulty is 1st character level, but players may choose from 5 different difficulty levels.

The Hunt is designed for 4 player characters.  Average difficulty is 3rd character level, but players may choose from 5 different difficulty levels.

Randomly generated tomes may be any difficulty level.

There are more tomes on the ShrapnelGames.com website.  Plus more items, creatures, encounters, themes, and whatnot to copy into your RuneSword library, as fodder for generating tomes.  Come to the RuneSword Discussion forum to bounce ideas around.

Troubleshooting
***************

* Slow Combat
There are 4 items on the Options screen to adjust this:  set combat speed higher, turn off dice animations, turn off sound effects, and turn off music. 

* Too Slow or Too Fast Anything
Many settings on the Options screen affect game speed.

* Stuttering Music
A few old sound cards have difficulty playing MP3 music and WAV files simultaneously.  This usually happens in combat, and the "stuttering" may even slow combat. Turn off the music to smooth play.  

* My Favorite Music is Punk Polka!
It's possible that your musical tastes don't encompass classical. Heathen. You could turn off the RS music and listen to your CD's, but your music would not match the in-game action. Solve this by copying MP3 music files into these (default) directories:

RUNESWORD 2\DATA\MUSIC\ADVENTURE 
Tunes that play when your party is travelling around, looking for trouble.  Whatever you groove to, as Mahler would say.

RUNESWORD 2\DATA\MUSIC\COMBAT 
Tunes that play as you slash and fireblast heinous foes to the depths of the Abyss. Uptempo music that gets your blood moving.
