I share my thoughts about the new Symbaroum Starter Set: Treasure Hunts in Davokar from Free League Publishing. The boxed set includes two 64 page books, pre-gen characters, two dual-sided maps, and dice. Is this an excellent introduction to a dark fantasy world? Or should you take your hunt for roleplaying adventure elsewhere?

Summary
I think Symbaroum is a very interesting dark fantasy setting and this starter box is extremely well done and perfect to introduce new players to the game. There's a good amount of gaming content to keep players occupied, although I'd have liked to have seen more pages devoted to actual adventure locations. I do have some minor quibbles but overall this is an excellent starter set.
