This is the Ninth World. The people of the prior worlds are gone—scattered, disappeared, or transcended. But their works remain, in the places and devices that still contain some germ of their original function. The ignorant call these magic, but the wise know that these are our legacy. They are our future. They are the Numenera.

‘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.

Content warnings: Themes of isolation, dependency, trauma, futility, mental and physical health, violence and harassment toward women, gaslighting, smoking, loneliness and death
Show Notes
This week, Fiona is playing ‘Long Haul 1983’, a solo RPG that tells the story of a dangerous journey through an empty world, written by Sean Patrick Cain.
In ‘Long Haul 1983’, players take on the role of a long-haul truck driver trying to make their way home. Every day, they’ll hit the road, navigating treacherous highways, fleeing from menacing threats, and dealing with the psychological impacts of isolation.
And at the end of each day, they’ll find a payphone, make a call, and leave a message for the most important person in their life. That person never picks up. The player never stops calling.
You can find out more information about ‘Long Haul 1983’ and Sean Patrick Cain’s other games on itch.io.
