Heed the warnings spoken by the wardens of the forest – do not disturb the ruins of old, for an ancient evil stirs in its sleep. The horrors of Davokar are about to awaken…  

The wonderous world of Symbaroum invites new explorers into the dark forest. Free League Publishing today revealed that Ruins of Symbaroum RPG, the 5E adaptation of the acclaimed dark fantasy RPG, will be released June 7. 

The forest of Davokar calls out to be explored, covering the remnants of an empire which fell into ruin long ago. Explore the vast forests in the hunt for treasures, lost wisdoms, and fame. Visit the barbarian clans to trade or to plunder; establish your base of power among princes, guilds or rebellious refugees in the capital; and survive encounters with trolls, dark-minded beasts and undead warlords.

Ruins of Symbaroum 5E is now available for pre-orders. The game line includes three full-color hardback books – the Player's Guide, the Gamemaster's Guide, and the Bestiary - and a Gamemaster's screen bundled with a 26-page adventure booklet. For those who prefer to play online, a bundle of prints, PDFs and Foundry VTT modules are also available. The pre-order gives instant access to PDFs, ahead of the physical release.

The 5E adaptation includes:

New Rules: To emphasize the dark fantasy nature of the setting, new rules for traveling and rests, social challenges, magic, and corruption are introduced. 

New Origins: Aside from familiar folks such as humans, elves, and dwarves, the Symbaroum game world lets you create PCs and NPCs who are changelings, ogres, goblins, trolls and even a specific form of undead. 

New Classes: The Ruins of Symbaroum Player’s Guide presents the classes Captain, Hunter, Mystic, Scoundrel and Warrior – each with between four and seven approaches/sub-classes, and all of them with customized features up to lvl20.  

Symbaroum RPG Review Quotes:

"Symbaroum is a dark fantasy set in a deep and dark forest chock full of ancient ruins and treasures. Its landscapes are haunted, its characters traumatized, and its monsters are pure, unbridled nightmare fuel. Also the art by itself is enough to haunt your dreams"
~ Sara Elsam, Dicebreaker

"The game that has inspired me most this year."
~ John Dodd, Tabletop Gaming magazine
