Lauren Urban

Professional bard/cleric

Lauren "Oboe" Urban is a performer, writer, creator, video and audio editor, and producer for tabletop roleplaying content, as well as a professional classical musician on oboe and English Horn. When she's not playing a Bard in real life, Lauren is a prolific Dungeon Master and player on a variety of livestreams and podcasts. She lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband Luke where they spend their free time playing video games and drinking tea.

A gold dragonborn in blue tartan wraps smiles as she holds a glowing Scrying Spectrometer in her hands. This art is over a sepia toned background of fancy filagree with the orange words "Orkira's Oddities" on the front along with the DMs Guild logo.

Orkira’s Oddities is a collection of weird and wonderful magic items, assembled by a kind dragonborn who just wants to help people and enjoy some snacks.
