About the adventure
A high octane D&D 5e game in a steampunk metropolis. Stop an automaton uprising and find out who's guilty. Fling spells and block bullets with unique and customized magic items for each character. D&D novices welcomed. Can you rise to save the city? Or will you reach your Boiling Point? This is a campaign using the Dungeons and Dragons 5e system, set in and out of the city of Boiling Point, a homebrewed developing city powered by steam. The adventuring guild has heard rumors of robots going rogue all across the city, and have sent you to find out why. When you're not scrapping the bots, you'll have free reign of the city to meet with a cast of colorful residents, merchants and city officials to help you on your quest, bringing you around and out of the city walls. Characters start at level 5, and are expected to find an equal amount of combat and roleplay. The party will level up on quest milestones to keep everyone equal.

How to prepare

What I provide
I have most D&D sources in roll20, ready to drag and drop at a moments notice. I make all my own maps, making the experience unique to our own game. I like to give my NPCs life with character voices, but I don't require anyone to do the same for their character. I sometimes use sound effects for big moments, and my background music can be opened in a second tab so you can opt out or change the volume as you see fit. When we're in the heat of combat, I like players who think of unique and fun ideas to turn the tide of battle, though I draw the line at anything overly exploitable. A good rule of thumb is that if a description doesn't explicitly mention anything about your idea, it may be possible. I hope that any players feel like they're cool and heroic characters fighting their way to save the city. This will be aided by their custom magic items, individual steampunk items that help to make every character distinctive and powerful
