What do you guys think of Symbaroum?

I personally really like the mechanics, and the setting seems to be much less messy than dnd.
I wish there were more resources (like custom roll tables and cheat sheets) like dnd.

I never see it discussed here...

The setting is based around newly colonised land surrounding a collosal country-western forest called Dakovar.
The tone is a bit darker than dnd with great fear surrounding the forest, yet people recognise the dangerous opportunities it holds.

Civilised society is quite interesting with less of a one-size-fits-all mixed bag and more of a strict social hierarchy. Races are of a more folklorey, traditional sort- you've got your humans of course, trolls, goblins aren't the colourful bandits you normally find but an abused workforce, elves are definitely not Tolkien-esque either, they are aggressive tribes people with an unappealing alien appearance.

Ability checks feel more significant and personal, since difficulties are judged by the player or NPC's stats. The players make all the rolls, if they want to sneak past a guard, they roll their discrete modified negatively by how good the enemy's resilience is. If the enemy sneaks up on the player, the player rolls their vigilance modified by the enemy's discrete.

The lore is really nice and fleshed out since it focuses on a relatively small region compared to the sprawling world of DND.

Havent had a chance to play it, but it's high on the list. I like the setting and mechanics a lot.

Alright, is there any way you can be less vague or post a mega link? I am interested but I can't have an opinion if I don't get to know anything.

It is discussed relatively frequently.
Overall it hasn't grabbed my attention, feels too similar to a lot of the other games in the "dark rules lite indie RPG" scene.

I've heard it's good but the core is lore heavy, which is fine. I'll crack it open some time and love it.
>>
I really like it. The chargen is quite fast, but that's all I can talk about from a practical standpoint, since I didn't have the chance to actually play it yet.
I've got two core books for 60€ during crowd funding (one standard one leatherbound). Pretty good price imo.
