Symbaroum : Advanced Player's Guide by Mattias Johnsson, Mattias Lilja, Anders Lekberg

This book contains spoilers for players and probably shouldn't be read by them until they've played a fair bit of Symbaroum and been exposed to the lore of the setting through gameplay. However, it's also a wonderful tool for GMs who want to use some optional rules.

As I've said before: Symbaroum is an amazing game and a great place to start if you're looking for an alternative to Dungeons and Dragons.

Absolutely gorgeous book, just like the core rulebook; it is a real pleasure just to look at it. The content is interesting and builds on the main rules, but some of it seems a little unnecessary. Then again, there's a level at which all game expansions are unnecessary so maybe that's not a problem. This is probably 3.5 stars if I'm honest, but until I could see how well it plays, I couldn't give it 4. And with my current gaming schedule I may not ever get this to the table, so it will remain at 3 for some time.

Great art and helpful that it collects the player facing resources for building a character and a couple alternative rules, but I would expect it to be more than just a collection of these things. There’s no real player facing advice and curiously there’s a small part about house rules. It’s not really an advanced players guide, which is what I was expecting. Advice on playing a character in the setting and what to choose and why, etc. It’s still really helpful in so far as when you make a character all the stuff is in one place, though.

Känns lite dumt att ge den här boken toppbetyg då den innehåller regler som borde ha varit med i grundreglerna. De reglerna som boken innehåller dock är superba och ger mycket material till utökat karaktärskapande trots att jag nog inte kommer att kunna komma att använda perstigeklasserna.
Dvärgarnas regler känns sorgligt nog dåligt genomtänkta men jag kanske missar något.
