SYMA
A downloadable game
Welcome to SYMA, a tabletop roleplaying game set in a world where a fallen monolithic church has left a power void that petty kings and tyrants struggle to fill.
You are a graverobber, tomb digger, and smuggler, stealing the religious artifacts from the now-driven out conquerors, and attempting to make your way in a world where enemies have left with the wealth of your homeland, leaving you with nothing but a blade, violence, and bitter resentment in your heart.
- Rules-light mechanics based on Breathless.
- Solo rules, tables for Exalted Saint generation, and more!
- A thematic setting overview, designed so you can make it your own.
- B&W art by Rick Hershey
This is a rules-light game, intended to focus on rulings, not extensive rules, where adventuring and life are hard and challenging.
This purchase also comes with three pamphlet adventures, written by Richard August, J.E. Zarnofsky, and Jaym Gates, as well as the 60 page Hexcrawling Guide to SYMA by Alan Bahr! That's over 120 pages of content in total!
The rules of this game are licensed under CC-BY and available to all, thanks to Fari Games!

Where can we find a character sheet download if we've already independently gotten both the hardcopy and PDF?
Currently PDFs come with character sheets on all three platforms we sell it!
DTRPG, the GKG Webstore, and itch.io. If you let us know which one you got it on, we can check it and make sure you get one.
The physical gamestore I bought it from gave me a copy of the core PDF and it did not contain a character sheet.
At this point am I going to have to just make my own character sheet?
Pretty disappointing the core file/book didn't come with one.
The character sheet is free on this page as a “Demo”, so you can grab it if you need!
Alan here. Frankly, I’m not sure how a LGS gave you the PDF. GKG doesn’t participate in any PDF distribution through retail stores (such as bricks and mortars), and we haven’t authorized any stores to do that.
The PDF we sell comes bundled with an additional bonus book, three adventures, and the character sheet (which would be why it’s so concerning if they’re distributing a PDF. Customers aren’t getting the full suite of intended digital products).
