R-Rated Adventure - Pokemon 5th Edition

Hey everyone! 🎲 We’re looking for 2 more people, ages 18–30, to join a new in-person D&D campaign around Lakewood/Denver. We already have 2 players and we’re really hoping to find people who want more than just showing up for D&D. We’d love to build an actual friend group where we can also play board games, grab food, hang out, etc. So definitely friends first, D&D players second. The campaign is a long-term homebrew world called Soleil: 500 years ago, the Sun stopped moving. Civilization now survives in a narrow band of eternal twilight between a blazing desert and a frozen darkness. On the 500th anniversary of a massive yearly ceremony, four travelers leave the safety of The Line to discover what lies beyond the walls. It’ll be a mix of mystery, exploration, roleplay, combat, giant titan monsters, emotional story moments, and weird discoveries. ✨ We’re thinking: • In person around Lakewood/Denver • About every other week • Long-term campaign • D&D 2024 rules • Beginners welcome • We’d probably do a casual hangout or board game night first just to make sure everyone vibes before committing • Your character will have deep secret and background link to the world ! If you’re interested, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself, what you like about D&D, and what other games or hobbies you’re into!

Elaria: Breaking the Chains Elaria is a land of powerful kingdoms, ancient magic, and prosperity built upon slavery. Humans, orcs, beastkin, prisoners, and countless others are bought and sold while those in power grow wealthy from their suffering. Within the slaves social circle classes have been established, the house slaves see themselves as better then those who work the grounds and so on. The party begins as ordinary adventurers with no army, rebellion, or grand destiny. But as they travel across Elaria and witness the cruelty of its kingdoms, they will have opportunities to fight back. You will not start in a inn or town, it will be a suprise Freeing a few slaves can become rescuing a village. A rescued village can become allies. Allies can become soldiers and soldiers can become a rebellion. The players will build that rebellion themselves—recruiting allies, establishing bases, gathering resources, liberating territory, and deciding how far they are willing to go to end slavery. Eventually, Elaria's kings will learn their names. The only question is whether history will remember them as heroes, rebels, or something far more dangerous.

The Hook: In the land of Silvestris, an obscuring mist cloaked the land and denied all who tried entry and with it a prophetic dream. A Bishop from the Eclessia Summus went to the Pontiff and told him of what he saw, a dark growing force that desired to blot out the sun and moon, ushering the end of humanity. And so, the Eclessia Summus sent group after group towards Silvestris, only to learn that they could not enter the kingdom or they were never to be seen again. Eventually, the party was summoned in order to investigate the land, a group of individuals who once had ties to Silvestris in one way or another. Within the darkened land, an old evil has returned. After having been slain centuries ago by the hero Aurelius, the dark sorcerer Alaric has risen from the dead to seek his revenge. General: Hello and thank you for reading my listing, I have nearly a decade of experience with DM/GMing as well as playing, accumulating in thousands of hours both on here and Discord, mostly D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e though dipping my toes into various other systems like Fabula Ultima, Call of Cthulhu, World of Darkness, etc. A lot of this campaign is going to come from your characters as individuals as it's more Gothic Fantasy than the typical high fantasy adventure. Both related to character hooks and motivations as well as Alaric himself as a character who I wanted to have a lot of depth as an antagonist, or even possibly an ally if the party decides to side with him. Big themes of the campaign are betrayal, revenge, redemption and justice. Rules: - For this, all characters will be human to better suit the setting, though who knows if they'll stay that way as the game is played. - It has been a while since I have DM'd 5e, so there may be times where I limit things (whether by removal or tweaking) throughout the game if it feels too against the vibe of the setting or overpowered. - The starting level is 3 - We will be using the Gritty rest system. (Though Long Rests will be 3 days) - I will allow homebrew only if I get to read it first and agree to it. - When designing your character keep gothic/dark fantasy in mind. And, finally, I would like to thank you all again for taking time to read my listing, I hope you apply and I wish you luck to get in. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me.
