The Symbaroum Adventure Collection assembles the content of three previously published products, featuring six adventures that demonstrate what different kinds of stories that may play out in the game world – forest expeditions, excavations of ancient ruins, political intrigues, even witch hunts and murder mysteries. So turn down the light, make the world around you disappear, and get ready to enter the wondrous world of Symbaroum.
A nation on the run. A homeland ravaged and barren. To stay in Alberetor would mean certain death; only fools and those who have vowed to die on their native soil would consider going back. Under these circumstances the people are truly blessed to have such an abundantly rich destination ahead – Ambria, the promised land of Queen Korinthia.
You are but one of many who have traveled across the snow-clad passes of the Titans. You have set foot in your new homeland, but there is still much to learn. The journey takes you to Thistle Hold, the town of explorers and treasure hunters bordering the great forest of Davokar. From there it continues out into the forest, brooding over ruins and powerful artifacts from the olden days of Symbaroum, and then back to face the escalating internal conflicts of the Queen’s people and realm.
The journey will undoubtedly transform you, make you regard the world and yourself with entirely new eyes. Provided, of course, that you reach the end of the road with eyes to see, a life left to live, and a mind not consumed by darkness…
The intimate, richly nuanced Symbaroum setting revolves around the Ambrians – a civilization that two decades ago were 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 lays far from open. Not only are the shadowy halls beneath the foliage fraught with danger, monsters and infectious corruption; 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 horrors of Davokar are about to awaken.
Symbaroum is a fantasy tabletop RPG, often described as dark, gritty and deadly. It was first released in Swedish in 2014, then translated into English for a worldwide release in 2016. Since then, the game has captured the imagination of an ever-growing number of gamers and today the game-line encompasses a dozen hardcover books, along with several support products in the form of card sets, maps and more.
The Symbaroum rule set is a D20, roll under, player-facing system, designed to be quick, punishing, and easy to get into. The system is highly flexible and modular, so those who want more complexity have optional rules, or can easily introduce their own house rules.
The game is also flexible when it comes to what type of games it facilitates – action and/or intrigue; one-shot scenarios and/or long adventure campaigns; serious stories and/or furious fun. However, one can argue that the flagship of Symbaroum is the acclaimed, six-part adventure chronicle The Throne of Thorns. Each of the standalone but interlinked episodes not only offer a massive adventure – they also introduce new lore, setting information, equipment, abilities, and optional rules.
