Show Notes

To tide us over til our next one-shot, here's a bonus episode where our host and GM Fiona interviews Mattias Johnsson Haake, one of the game designers of ‘Symbaroum’ and the upcoming 5e expansion ‘Ruins of Symbaroum’, a fantasy tabletop RPG, often described as dark, gritty and deadly.

Symbaroum’ revolves around the Ambrians – a civilization that, two decades ago, was forced to flee their ancestral soil after a devastating war. Their new and promised land borders on the vast forest of Davokar, covering the remnants of the Empire of Symbaroum which fell into ruin hundreds of years ago. 

Brimming with natural resources and mythical treasures, the forest calls out to the Ambrians to be explored and exploited, but the road into its depths lies far from open. Not only are the shadowy halls beneath the foliage fraught with danger, monsters and infectious corruption; but there are also the elves of the Iron Pact who have vowed to die to keep anyone from disturbing the ruins of old, warning that the ancient evil of Symbaroum stirs in its sleep.

The ‘Ruins of Symbaroum’ encompasses the three richly illustrated Base Setting Books that provide special rules, custom classes, unique creatures and much more, inviting DMs and players to enjoy adventures in the world of Symbaroum using the 5th Edition OGL ruleset.

You can find out more about ‘Symbaroum’ on their official website. Preorder ‘Ruins of Symbaroum’ from Free League Publishing.
