I've tried to break into the bleak woodland of Davokar for a long time, but Epic Encounters: Symbaroum – The Corrupted Coloss might be what pushes me into that forest for good. As a boss battle in a box, it sets out to provide the most impressive, tactically-demanding fight possible… and blimey, it follows that brief to a T. This is a much deeper, more satisfying experience than most tabletop scraps.
It's the kind of attention to detail I wish we got from the official D&D Monster Manual. Alongside video game-inspired behaviour loops it features cues your party can pick up on to anticipate attacks. Throw in an impressive model you can use for all manner of homebrew content and Epic Encounters: Symbaroum – The Corrupted Coloss delivers on its promise.
