Steamforged Games is teaming up with Free League to bring the Epic Encounters – Ruins of Symbaroum to your tabletop!

This is the type of crossover we love to see. Two tabletop publishers have teamed-up to bring an awesome addition to your minis and RPG collections. The award-winning dark fantasy RPG Symbaroum is getting the Epic Encounters treatment. Welcome to the Ruins of Symbaroum!

For the first time, we’re venturing beyond the Titan mountains into the realm of Ambria, to bring you miniatures, maps, and encounters set in the dark fantasy world of Symbaroum.

That’s right. We’re beyond excited to be working with the talented folks at Free League on the first ever Epic Encounters collaboration!

Collectively titled Epic Encounters: Ruins of Symbaroum, the sets — Gem in the Barrow and Corrupted Coloss — combine the strange beauty and gripping narratives of Symbaroum with the adventure-in-a-box convenience of Epic Encounters.

Epic Encounters – Ruins of Symbaroum

We were pretty stoked to hear about this one. I’m personally a BIG fan of the Epic Encounters line and have been consistently pleased with their releases. As a fan of their miniatures Steamforged Games knocks them out the park. They are tough to beat as an “out of the box, ready to play” set of miniatures. The details and character really come through for each sculpt. And now the dark atomsphere of Symbaroum is going to be brought to life in these 3D miniatures. I can’t wait!

And I’m not alone. Here’s a bit from Mattias Johnsson Haake, Symbaroum’s Creator and Lead Designer:

“Ever since discussions began, I’ve been super excited about the concept of Symbaroum-flavoured Epic Encounter boxes. I cannot wait to see the art of Martin Grip come to life in 3D, as gorgeous Steamforged miniatures, and to read accounts from those who take the included adventures to the table. I am certain these boxes will both be loved by the Symbaroum fandom, and generate new interest in the game.”

But it’s not just the minis I’m excited about. Epic Encounters are an entire package for players and GMs alike. Not only do you get the awesome minis, you also get guides on how you include these creatures in your RPG sessions. The maps and gameplay tips are invaluable to GMs trying to come up with ways to engage their players.

“It’s a privilege to work with Free League on the creation of these sets, bringing the dark world of Symbaroum to the tabletop in a new way. Working with Mattias Johnsson Haake, Symbaroum’s lead designer, has been a fantastic experience, and we think fans of Symbaroum both new and old are going to love what we’ve created.”

These sets are set to release February 18, 2025 and are currently up for pre-order right now.

 

Get ready for some truly Epic Encounters in the dark fantasy world of Symbaroum!
