About the adventure

🐺 A Game of Thrones: 5E 🩸 📜 System: D&D 5E 🏰 Genre: Medieval Intrigue • Gritty Realism • War & Betrayal 🎭 Tone: Brutal • Political • Tragic ⚔️ Campaign Description: ❄️ Winter is coming. But betrayal comes first. The Iron Throne sits uneasy. Lords whisper in shadow. Old houses fade, new ones rise in blood. Far from the halls of kings, blades are drawn in silence — for love, power, revenge… or survival. You are a player in the game. ⚔️ A bastard knight, a cunning courtier, a loyal bannerman — or a traitor in plain sight. 🕊️ Oaths are fragile. Loyalties shift. And even smallfolk can shape the fate of realms. This is not a story of heroes. This is a story of consequence. 🧭 What to Expect: 🎲 Intrigue-first gameplay — secrets, favors, and schemes ⚔️ Low-magic, high-stakes tactical combat 🧩 Noble houses, shifting alliances, dynastic goals 🔥 Gritty, consequence-heavy storytelling with real loss 🩸 Warfare, politics, legacy, and survival over heroism

He is very flexible and dares set difficult games, making him a good choice for veteran players who wants new experiences. He is kind and patient as a GM, always avaible and very dependable. Was a fast and clean session zero, one of the best I had in my 30 years of experience role-playing.

Very creative and patient DM! I was (and still am) a beginner in Symbaroum and he provided all the necessary materials and answered all of my many questions! The game was very fun, with a interesting plot and good balance of difficulty, serious moments and lighthearthed ones Very much recommended

Manuel's home brew games are a great way to bring your dnd creativity skills to the next level. His open door policy and immense game knowledge has changed the way I approach all of my sessions. The home brew campaigns are a very much you get what you put in. Regardless if you want the session to be played like animal crossing or elden ring,his ability to improvise on the fly is unmatched. This allows flexibility in how sessions are run,and the fact that he's open to criticism shows he is actively looking for ways to improve player experience and his skills as a DM.

I wait a few sessions before reviewing anyone to be fair and give credit where it's due. Manuel creates engaging hooks and combines them with carefully thought out NPCs. Combat is engaging and streamlined in a wY to keep the story moving yet fun and tense.. Manuel has a very solid grasp of the Vampire setting and I can see him as my go to storyteller for quite sometime.

Manu is great GM! He is knowledgeable on the games he runs. I was a new player to the Symbaroum system, and he was great with helping me understand the mechanics of the game and helping with character creation. His games are really fun and engaging. I recommend Manu as a GM!
