A co-op session works when roles are explicit
Give the party four jobs: route caller (boundary stones + retreat), controller (locks windows), support (sustain + resets), and logger (rewards + next objectives). This removes the most common co-op failure: everyone tries to do everything and nobody owns the retreat call.
Keep the session objective small: one primary route, one mechanic test, then leave. Repeating a clean short run is how the group improves without burning out.
- Rotate one role per session so knowledge spreads.
- End with a three-line log: what we did, what we spent, what we do next.
