Hey there Matthew, I wanna just poke my nose in here. The solo campaign is something that's always interested me. I'm a fairly experienced DM. ~10 years of mostly DMing. I don't really have a lack of players, I actually have a group of friends doing an online 5e game right now. My white whale is the solo campaign though. I've never had a friend that wanted to try the heavy RP nature of a solo campaign along with the semi-loneliness that comes with it. I'd be most interested in chatting with you about the idea of it. The only way I think it'd really work is in a heavy RP format along with being hyper specialized to the type of character you would decide you'd like to play, (i.e. druid would be a nature focused game vs. a rogue who'd likely be the star of an urban game.) Or even far off concepts could be in play also. The out of place monster races that are rarely viable PC options, such as a vampire, would be completely plausible also. The cool part about the solo campaign is that we wouldn't need to worry ourselves about the PC party becoming too out of hand. A Psion-themed Warlock? No prob. A water bending Sorcerer? Sure, why not? The idea of customization would be unlimited in this type of game. If you're interested in such ideas, give me a shout! P.S. Just for the sake of typing, I've always wanted to play in a solo campaign. The idea being around a necromancer forming and taking over a Funerary Guild in a large city. He's no normal necromancer though. A former botanist studying the different potent qualities of the "aggressive" plants known to our world. Tragedy strikes and he loses his beloved wife in a tragic accident that he caused in some abstract manner. He becomes obsessed about his lost wife, focusing his study in a type of plant known for the quality of taking control of the shells of dead creatures and animating them once again. He proceeds to become some sort of botanical necromancer, reviving and animating minions under his control using a form of nature magic rather than vile arcane. He has not a single evil bone in his body, but he has to get the resources needed to bring his wife back, and not a single person will stop him in his scientific pursuit of his love.
