The SYMBAROUM ANNIVERSARY #KICKSTARTER is Now LIVE
[IMG: The SYMBAROUM ANNIVERSARY #KICKSTARTER is Now LIVE:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/symbaroum-rpg-revised-core-books-and-setting-expansion
It has been 10 years since Symbaroum opened its arms to welcome English-speaking gamers into its warm, corruption-oozing embrace. In celebration of this joyous occasion, you are invited to contribute to the creation and release of an updated game line, including three revised core books and two ample setting expansions – one that builds on the main game setting (Davokar & Ambria), and one that introduces a new, thrilling scenery, both familiar and horribly different.]

[IMG: A new edition of FRONTIER SCUM available now!
A self-destructive, violent, and LSD-infused take on Spaghetti Westerns, Frontier Scum casts players as wanted outlaws making their mark on the unreal Lost Frontier. Inspired by films including El Topo, Dead Man, and Bone Tomahawk, the game offers a rough-and-tumble world of insatiable greed, strange relics, bounties, odd jobs, and danger around every corner.
Get it here: https://freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/frontier-scum/core-rulebook/
Created and designed by Karl Druid (Den of Druids) with co-development by Games Omnivorous, Frontier Scum features a stripped-down ruleset stylized as an old almanac to really immerse you in the setting. Perfect for one-shots, chaotic campaigns, and players who like their RPGs full of blood, bad whiskey, and worse decisions. This edition is published and distributed by Free League.]

Elric returns to the tabletop in the upcoming LEGE
[IMG: Elric returns to the tabletop in the upcoming LEGENDS OF STORMBRINGER roleplaying game, powered by Dragonbane mechanics!
We are thrilled to finally announce this new officially licensed tabletop RPG based on the iconic fantasy works of Michael Moorcock, planned for release in 2027.
LEGENDS OF STORMBRINGER will carry you into the Young Kingdoms – a world of dying empires, warring gods, and doomed heroes – and bring Moorcock’s richly imagined setting to the tabletop using rules mechanics that have made Dragonbane one of our most celebrated titles.
Returning to the Young Kingdoms as setting writer is Richard Watts, whose work on previous Stormbringer RPGs helped define how generations of roleplayers have experienced Moorcock’s world.
Further details – including crowdfunding plans and additional creative team announcements – will be revealed at a later date.]

New Releases for The One Ring™ and The Lord of the
[IMG: New Releases for The One Ring™ and The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying Coming JUNE 2! Pre-Order Now HANDS OF THE WHITE WIZARD, TRIALS OF SARUMAN, and HOBBIT™ TALES now for Immediate PDF Access:
https://freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/the-one-ring/
https://freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/the-lord-of-the-rings/
Six new adventures for The One Ring™ and The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying 5E challenge you to decide Saruman’s fate before the War of the Ring begins.
“He is great among the Wise. He is the chief of my order and the head of the Council. His knowledge is deep, but his pride has grown with it, and he takes ill any meddling.”
Set between 2965 and the opening moves of the War of the Ring, these adventures invite players to serve, observe, or challenge Saruman the White at the height of his wisdom and the edge of his corruption. Once a counselor to kings and master of Ring-lore, Saruman now rules from Isengard, a bastion of knowledge and power where the first cracks of pride begin to show. The treason of Isengard has not yet begun, but its seeds are sown. The question is whether his downfall is inevitable or if the courage of heroes can still change his fate and the fate of Middle-earth itself.
Key Features:
*Serve or Spy: Decide whether your heroes will aid the White Wizard or uncover the secrets he keeps.
*Six Adventures Across an Era: Follow Saruman’s path from counselor and scholar to would-be tyrant, spanning the years 2965 to the War of the Ring.
*Lore of Isengard: Discover new allies, foes, and mysteries within Orthanc and the valley of Nan Curunír.
Alongside Hands of the White Wizard, we today also announced HOBBIT™ TALES, an expansion for The One Ring™ letting you experience the adventures Hobbits get up to (when they cannot avoid it!).
Note that the material in Hobbit™ Tales has been published previously in the first starter set for the second edition of The One Ring™ and is already available for The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying in the Shire™ Adventures compendium.]

Start / Get Started

What’s this thing called tabletop roleplaying games?
Curious about tabletop roleplaying games but not sure where to start? First, let our dear friend Ellinor DiLorenzo go over the basics.
Where to start?
Roleplaying is a rewarding and creative hobby but it can be intimidating to get started. This is what we recommend:
[H2] 1. Watch it played
To get a sense of how it works, you might want to check out some actual play video streams – you’ll find a few further down on this page, and there are lots more online.
[H2] 2. Find a group (or try it Solo)
The most obvious way to do this is of course to invite some friends over for a game night. Many Free League games can be played in a single session. If that’s not possible, you can seek out gaming conventions in your local area, or visit a local hobby store – many have organized gaming sessions. Or go online – there are many social media forums and groups for Free League games, and even platforms dedicated to finding other players, such as StartPlaying. A third option is to try out a Free League game that has support for solo play, such as Dragonbane, Coriolis: The Great Dark, The One Ring, The Walking Dead Universe, and Vaesen.
[H2] 3. Play!
The best way to learn tabletop roleplaying is by just doing it. It’s a very flexible form of gaming and there is no way of doing it wrong except not having a good time. Good luck!
What game to start with?
So with what game should you start exploring tabletop roleplaying? Free League has over a dozen titles in a wide range of genres, so the obvious answer is to go with the game that inspires you the most.
That said, we have one game that is designed very much with beginners in mind: Dragonbane. There is a completely free Quickstart PDF to download in the webshop, and the Core Set includes everything you need to play for many sessions, including pre-generated characters and a complete campaign!
Above, Ellinor DiLorenzo explains the process of creating a character of your own in Dragonbane, amd below, she explains exploration and combat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Read these first!
[H4] When will my order ship?
If the order is for a Kickstarter reward, please check the Kickstarter page first. The initial shipping date estimate is listed for each reward. Updated shipping information will come in the form of updates, so be sure to check this. After we have announced that shipping has started, please allow at least two weeks before contacting our support staff via the email below. Also remember that we ship from several warehouses in different countries across the globe, which means that some orders to some areas will ship earlier than others.
For webshop orders, please allow at least two weeks from placing in the order before contacting our support staff.
[H4] How do I change the address of my order?
If the order is for a Kickstarter and the Pledge Manager is not yet closed, you simply log into the Pledge Manager and update your address there. You can do this even after you have completed your order. If the Pledge Manager has closed, or if it’s a webshop order, send your new address and other relevant information to our support email below.
[H4] Can you ship to a PO box address?
No, unfortunately we cannot. You must submit a physical address for us to ship to.
[H4] Why don’t you ship to all countries?
Our partner warehouses are unable to ship to some countries due to high administrative fees or unreliable deliveries. For Kickstarters, excluded countries can always be found on the campaign page under the Shipping headline. We cannot make exceptions to this list.
[H4] My shipment arrived damaged, what can I do?
Send an email to our support staff via the email below with the order number and photos of the damage, and we’ll send a replacement.
[H4] How do I cancel an order?
As long as your order has not already shipped, you can cancel an order and get a refund by contacting our support staff via the email below. Don’t forget to include your order number, and if it’s a Kickstarter, indicate which one. If your order has already shipped, we have to wait for the shipment to be returned to us before we can refund the order.
[H4] Can I add items from your webshop to my Kickstarter pledge?
No, only the items listed as add-ons are available for pledges.
[H4] How do I add addon-ons to my Kickstarter pledge?
For most campaigns, you will specify what addons you want in the Pledge Manager after the Kickstarter campaign ends. Lately, Kickstarter has added a function to add add-ons on the campaign page during the Kickstarter itself.
[H4] Which stretch goals are included in my Kickstarter reward?
Each Kickstarter page indicates which stretch goals are included in each reward, so please study the page carefully before contacting our support staff.
[H4] I missed the deadline to complete my Pledge Manager. What do I do?
Send an email to our support staff including the email you used to make the pledge. Don’t forget to let us know which Kickstarter this is for. You will get your rewards even if you missed the Pledge Manager deadline, but you get the shipment later.
[H4] I’m a late backer. How do I access the Alpha PDF shared via a locked Kickstarter update?
Only actual Kickstarter backers can access locked updates on Kickstarter, and we have no technical way to add backers after the campaign ends. Therefore, you will need to contact our support staff with the email you used to make your late pledge, and we’ll send you the PDF manually.
[H4] Can I add multiple rewards in the same Kickstarter pledge?
No, it is not possible to multiple rewards in the same pledge. However, most items included in the rewards are also available as add-ons.
[H4] I have payment problems in the Pledge Manager. What do I do?
If you have questions regarding processing your payment in the Pledge Manager, contact [email protected] as they are the ones handling the payments.
[H4] Can I use my Apple ID email for the Pledge Manager?
There are some issues with Apple ID that prevent Pledge Manager from sending invitations to backers using an Apple ID email. If possible, use another email when making your pledge in Kickstarter. If you already have made a Kickstarter pledge with an Apple ID email and don’t receive the invitation for Pledge Manager, contact our support staff via the email below.
[H2] Other questions?
If you can’t find the answer you need above, please use our Contact form below. We aim to reply to all queries within 24 hours on weekdays, but please allow at least 48 hours before emailing about the same matter again.
