Intro

I’m happy to share a new Solasta adventure: Leverage.

The Leverage campaign features 6 custom maps to explore, spanning levels 1 to 10, with varied environments, challenging combat, and a novel story within Solasta’s lore.

I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I did. You can contact me via https://linktr.ee/VelSolasta

Getting Started

Starting map name: Vel Leverage A1

No mods required.

To install: use the Steam Workshop collection Vel Leverage to get all the maps, alternatively Nexusmods, or Mod.io for GOG.

To play: go to Dungeon Maker, select Vel Leverage A1, play.

Recommended starting level of 1. For less of a challenge, start with the party at level 2.

Recommended entry party levels by map:

A1: L1

A2: L3

A3: L5

A4: L7

A5: L8

A6: L9

Story Blurb

The noble’s job seemed simple enough: find the thief and return the magic locket. Your adventure twisted through the wilderness and took an unexpected, epic turn to Elven crypts and an ancient Elven castle in search of untold power.

Design Principles

This campaign was designed with the following in mind:

Combat Provide challenging combat without save scumming.

Enable preparation with clues.

Do not require a particular class.

Strive for combat balance across party compositions.

Discourage camp/rest-to-win.

Limit the number of mobs per encounter. (No battle royale and waiting for the computer to take 20 turns.)

Story Tell a concise, compelling story. No walls of text.

Inhabit Solasta’s lore.

Leverage the environment for the story.

Environment Allow starting play in later maps. (Not necessary to play as e.g. level 1-2 if you want to skip that.)

Minimize use of puzzles. (Solasta’s current strength is combat.)

Allow non-linear exploration. (Limited by Solasta’s current design.)

Pace good loot.

Thanks

Hat tip to Silverquick, BlackguardRogue, and all the other DM creators. Huge thanks to TA devs for this great game.
