CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
Six years ago, after having published games in the Sci-Fi and Post-
Apocalyptic genres, we finally came together to design the roleplaying
game of our dreams: Symbaroum. The decision to publish in both our
native Swedish and in English was made long before launch, and it did
not take long before we saw translations into Italian, French, German,
Spanish, and most recently Portuguese.

RUINS OF SYMBAROUM
now thE timE
has come to make the dark, wondrous world of
Symbaroum more accessible in another sense. Being role-players
ourselves, and having published games before, we knew from
the start that the kind of game mechanics you enjoy is a matter
of taste and preferred play style. And even though the original
game is gaining more and more attention, attracting more and
more players, we have long pondered the prospect of bringing
the setting of Symbaroum to the most popular roleplaying game
system ever created – thus welcoming those who are hesitant to
learn a completely new rule set to the Kingdom of Ambria and
the vast forest of Davokar.
In a sense, this Starter PDF can be seen as a proof of concept, or
a trial-balloon – meant to provoke a reaction from you, the potential
players, from within the established Symbaroum community
as well as from the broader family of tabletop
roleplaying gamers. From another perspective,
it can be seen as the result of a process that has
taken more than two years; it has been a dance
of two-steps-forward-one-step-back, searching
for the perfect way to align the game concept to the
OGL while still staying true to what Symbaroum is:
gritty, deadly and full of dark mysteries. Of course, the
fact that the systems share some similarities to begin with
has made the dance both more enjoyable and less strenuous.
So, now it is your turn to contribute! We hope to meet you at
conventions, on the Free League forum and other social media
platforms where Symbaroum is discussed; we hope that you will
help us evaluate this concept and tell us what you would like to
see in the future. Our intention is clear: we want to adapt much
of the original Symbaroum game line to the 5E OGL. But let’s
flood the dance floor and keep on dancing, two-steps-forward-
one-step-back – together we can make this marriage between
the wondrous world of Symbaroum and the most popular game
mechanics of our time into something really special!
Happy gaming!
