**SEEKING ROLEPLAY-FOCUSED PLAYER | Solare Campaign Setting** **Campaign:** "Bazgoth, the Crimson Blade" - Epic Adventure in the Dark Lands **Current Level:** 10 (mid-tier play, heading toward high-level content) **System:** D&D 5e **Setting:** Solare - A mature, lore-rich original world --- **ABOUT THE WORLD** Solare is an ancient world torn between divine powers, racial conflicts spanning millennia, and cosmic threats. This campaign is set primarily in **Karudasos - The Dark Lands**, home to the so-called "lesser races" who have carved out kingdoms through strength, cunning, and brutal survival. This is a setting where gods actively intervene, and moral complexity reigns supreme. --- **PLAYABLE RACES (Dark Lands Focus)** - **Orcs** (primary focus - warrior cultures, divine champions of Gonosh) - **Goblins** (cunning survivors) - **Hobgoblins** (disciplined tacticians) - **Bugbears** (brutal enforcers) - **Minotaurs** (powerful warriors from eastern empires) - **Dark Dwarves** (mysterious origins from deep places) - **Half-Orcs** (bridges between worlds) - Other traditionally "monstrous" races may be discussed --- **📖 CAMPAIGN STYLE** This is a **HEAVY ROLEPLAY** campaign where character psychology, emotional depth, and moral complexity matter more than combat optimization. The party consists of warriors and outcasts from the Dark Lands navigating a world that has always labeled them as monsters, but "evil" is up to interpretation here. **Expect:** - Deep character development and internal conflict - Difficult moral choices with lasting consequences - Themes of sacrifice, proving worth, unity despite ancient hatreds - Rich interactions with divine forces (particularly the orc pantheon) - World-threatening stakes with personal costs - **CRITICAL: Party cohesion is REQUIRED** - characters must be able to work together despite differences - Characters can have flaws, biases, and dark pasts, but must ultimately function as a team - Mature themes handled respectfully (trauma, violence, divine judgment, loss) --- **WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR** - **Strong RP skills** - inhabit your character's mindset authentically - **LONG-TERM COMMITMENT REQUIRED** - This is an ongoing campaign, we need players for the long haul - **Consistent Sunday availability at 7:00 PM Central** - regular attendance is essential - Character who can maintain party unity despite personal conflicts - Investment in character backstory and motivations - Willingness to explore difficult emotions and growth - **Team-first mentality** - internal conflict is great, but sabotaging the party is not - Interest in exploring what it means to be labeled "monster" while choosing your own path - Mature mindset (18+ campaign) --- **NOT A FIT IF** - **You can't commit to regular Sunday sessions** - Your character concept works against party goals - You want to play a lone wolf or betray the party - You prioritize optimization over character development - You prefer lighthearted, simple adventures - You're uncomfortable with dark themes or morally complex situations --- **Current Party Dynamic** A warband of Dark Lands warriors (orcs, minotaur bard, dark dwarf druid, and others) dealing with missing companions, corrupted ley lines threatening all of Solare, and uneasy alliances with ancient enemies. Despite vastly different backgrounds and beliefs, they've learned to function as a unit facing world-ending threats. Internal tension exists, but the team holds together when it counts. **Note on Alignment:** "Evil" races don't mean evil characters. This party has proven they can be heroes, flawed, complex heroes with baggage, but heroes nonetheless. We're looking for someone who understands that nuance. --- **How to Apply** **Interested?** DM me with: - A brief Dark Lands character concept that fits the party dynamic - Your RP experience - What draws you to this type of campaign --- **Additional Notes** **Session Schedule:** Sundays, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM Central Time (10:30 PM latest) **IMPORTANT:** This game is **streamed live** - players must be comfortable being on stream **Stream Requirements:** Microphone required, camera optional **Platform:** Roll20 **Voice:** Discord
