Lore of Lurue - ✊🏼✊🏿✊🏾 & 🏳️‍🌈 Inclusive

About the adventure

An Adventure for 8th-level Characters Developed & Edited by Kim Mohan Written by Kelly Lynne D'Angelo -- You hold a book before you and as you open to the first page, the words come to life. "Our story starts during the time leading up to the winter solstice on the final night of Uktar in the year 374 DR. A nearly full moon rises behind wispy clouds, as a star-speckled sky darkens against a fading horizon. It seems silent and still, here in the heart of the forest. But to anyone who knows the forest well, that silence can be misleading. For an evil has corrupted the domain of the unicorn known as Lurue, that once noble deity, protector of the forest, and Mistress of Moonlight. Can you, brave adventurer, help our Mistress? We beseech you." When you are ready to proceed, turn the page." **About Me** My name is Victor (he/him). I am a Philosophy Ph.D. student who professionally DMs, and I use my philosophy background to inform my DM style. If you're into the rule of cool, roleplay, and moral dilemmas (does the party smother the dragon hatchling or risk waking its parents?) then I am the DM for you! I am well experienced with TTRPGs, fantasy settings, and DMing (8 years experience). I DM multiple times a week, constantly honing my craft. I often re-skin characters and plot points to better incorporate and immerse your character! **Applying:** Book the session on startplaying.games. If your application is chosen, I do a 15-20 minute interview on Discord with all players. This is to see if they would be a good fit for the game and party and to give the player an opportunity to ask questions. If all goes well, I will then invite you to the game on Foundry.

How to prepare

Join my discord here: https://discord.gg/QZSzWuhUp5 Create your PC here: https://ddb.ac/campaigns/join/37417893200574345 Players will require a decent and reliable mic. This is absolutely necessary. Players will also need to make a Forge account for visuals and Discord account for voice. The DM will be using video and players may do so as well, but it is not required of players.

What I provide

I will supply the module on Foundry.

Gameplay details

If this adventure received a Film Rating, it would be set at PG-13 mostly due to violence. This can be adjusted through a collective decision, of course, as I not only desire my players to have fun, but also require that they all feel comfortable, safe, and welcomed at the table. I also utilize Lines and Veils whenever a new player joins to discuss what a player does not want to see in the game (i.e. what crosses a Line) and what they'd prefer to not have centered or focused in the game (i.e. what they'd prefer to have veiled). Finally, I also have an "Open-Door" policy in which a player can walk away from the session at any time for any amount of time, no questions asked. Real Life Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated at my table. Nor do I allow my players to roleplay any fantasy discrimination of any kind (e.g. the human fighter does not trust the barbarian because they are an orc). It is important to me that my players feel comfortable with the party.
