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.  \n1 R U I N S O F S Y M B A R O U M  \nnow 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 Symbaroumtothe most popular roleplaying game system ever created –thus welcoming those who are hesitant to learn a completely new rule setto the Kingdom of Ambria and the vast forest of Davokar.  \nIna sense, this Starter PDF can be seenasa proof of concept, oratrial-balloon–meant to provoke areaction from you, the potential players, from within the established Symbaroum community as well as from the broader family of tabletop  \nroleplaying gamers. From another perspective,  \nit can be seen as the result of a process that has  \ntaken more than two years; it has been a dance  \nof two-steps-forward-one-step-back, searching  \nfor the perfect way to align the game concept to the OGL while still staying true to what Symbaroum is:  \ngritty, 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.  \nSo, now it is your turn to contribute! We hope to meet you at conventions, on the Free League forum and other social media platforms whereSymbaroumis discussed; we hope that you will help us evaluate this concept and tellus 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-forwardone-step-back – together we can make this marriage between the wondrous world of Symbaroumand the most popular game mechanics of our time into something really special!  \nHappy gaming!  \nTeam Free League Publishing  \nFeedback Wanted!  \nYou are most welcome to the Free League forum, to share your experiences, report typos and offer  \ncomments to the design team.
