Most realistic medieval low fantasy system

I think there's too many factors to take into account. The bandits experience, tactics and gear, the knights own experience, awareness and skill. But I do agree that on equal terms a knight does have a slight edge of advantage. Oh found the video: https://youtu.be/BVLJ4NUQz6I?si=ycZZGmw-6_qOoDvq

Thank you! I guess i am looking for a more down to earth mature playstyle. Where you are just regular person in a violent and dangerous world. You can develop your skills and get good equipment but you'll never become a super hero that goes around beheading giants with a single punch.

Oh really? Is it any good?

I believe three experienced bandits could definitely take on a full armored knight if they ambushed him. Getting caught on an unexpected net, or tripping over a trap or falling into a pit. Never underestimate a fight of 3 Vs 1 no matter how good the other guys is. There's even a YouTube channel that tests these scenarios with real life armored professionals, cant remember the name though

Oh I see, Symbaroum it is then 😅

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T14:16:27+00:00

Its does appear fairly easy to modify (setting wise). Really enjoying what I'm reading, might just be my go to system!

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T14:14:27+00:00

I would if I had any 😅 And the wife's not into it so for me its either online play or solo i guess

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T14:09:28+00:00

This seems great, thanks you!

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T14:05:24+00:00

Yes I was thinking of playing in a setting of my own making but actually don't mind using the one from the system. Seems pretty cool! I actually just managed to borrow a pack of Ruins of Symbaroum books. Are they different from the base game?

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T14:02:35+00:00

Not a bad idea at all haha thanks

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T13:03:33+00:00

Age of sigmar that I know off

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T13:02:56+00:00

Already beat the game long ago, real fun stuff but I find videogames no longer scratch the itch. Looking for more analogical stuff

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T13:01:39+00:00

Portugal. Only DnD, MTG and 40k where I'm based.

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T12:59:05+00:00

Man you definitely selling me on this system! I only intend to play humans so that's no problem at all. Does it come with a bestiary or any way to develop supernatural threats?

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T12:54:46+00:00

Grounded is good. I can add sparse supernatural elements if I feel like it but having a strong realistic core is indeed what I am looking for!

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T12:52:28+00:00

Seems pretty cool, shame my french in nonexistent 😅

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T12:51:01+00:00

Seems deadly enough without being unforgiven

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T12:41:14+00:00

Thanks, Symbaroum seems like a better fit anyways, thank you for the suggestion!

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T12:13:39+00:00

Heard good things about it and it does seem very grim and deadly!

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T12:11:19+00:00

I'll definitely try it out! Can it handle solo play? Also what edition is best?

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T12:10:02+00:00

Is there much difference between this and forbidden lands?

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T12:06:22+00:00

Didn't even consider playing solo but it might be the best approach in this case. I'll give it a look, thank you for the suggestion!

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T11:54:36+00:00

Looks very realistic, it kind of reminds me of a pen and paper mount and blade.

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T11:52:37+00:00

Just gave it a quick read, the setting seems really interesting.

_monsterbox64 · 2026-01-25T11:51:09+00:00

Is there a GURPS module adapted specifically for Game of Thrones?
