The World of Synnibarr (sometimes referred to simply as Synnibarr) was a multi-genre role-playing game published by Wonderworld Press and written by Raven c.s. McCracken.[1] A second edition of the game, co-written by Bryce Thelin, was published in 1993. Historically, the 1st edition was noted largely for its complex design. However, the 3rd edition revamped the mechanics and has evolved into an "amazing" game.[2]
The game is referred to as a "gonzo" game and features an unusual amount of variety in play. It combines many elements of fantasy, science fiction, superhero and other genres and does occasionally lend itself to power gaming.[3]
A third edition of Synnibarr was funded by a Kickstarter in 2013, which was expected to be released in 2015. The Kickstarter project was completed and satisfied in 2021/2022. [4] In 2022, it was announced that there was an "easter egg" hunt in the new edition. To date, it had not been solved.
