Lauren Urban
Professional bard/cleric
Lauren "Oboe" Urban is a professional classical musician on oboe and English Horn. When she's not playing a Bard in real life, Lauren is the Community and Social Media Manager for WizKids as well as a prolific performer, writer, creator, video and audio editor, and producer for a variety of tabletop roleplaying content. She lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband Luke where they spend their free time playing video games and drinking tea.
Here are current/ongoing projects I am excited about:
I’m going to PAX West! You can find me on a panel, helping out my husband at his art booth, taking meetings, and talking to various people about TTRPGs and WizKids! Please reach out if you’re going to be at the convention and would like to chat.
Panel: How To Moderate And Participate In Convention Panels
Friday September 4th at 12pm in Frog Theatre (Level 3 Room 323)
We've all gone to panels where we wish the moderator was a bit better at wrangling their cats…um, panelists. We've also seen panels where one person dominates the mic and hops in to answer every question. We'll talk about best practices in moderation and being part of a panel with this group of seasoned public speakers, panelists and moderators.
After the events of Baldur’s Gate 3, a new group of heroes find themselves dealing with a new threat to the world from the Cult of the Dragon! Lauren plays the dragonborn ranger/rogue Utazash, a happy hunter with all the joy and chaos of the Feywild!
Fantastical Geographic is a monthly digital magazine that brings a huge variety of art, maps, characters, stories, legends, creatures, items, spells, ideas and more to your TTRPG game no matter the setting! Lauren writes a variety of articles including The Realm Report, an in-world investigative news column following adventuring parties and the exploits they get up to!
Need a character in a hurry? Orkira can help! Lauren’s dragonborn cleric was chosen, along with five other fantastic creators, to become pre-generated characters for anyone to load up instantly in Roll20 to use and start playing!
Orkira’s Oddities is a collection of 33 magic items showing off bits and pieces of the wonderful oddness of the universe, collected by a kind dragonborn who just wants to help people and enjoy some snacks. Each item comes with a full description, an original illustration, and a note from Orkira talking about her experiences either obtaining or using it during her travels.
