Oliver Clegg’s D&D 5e adventure “Curse of Hearts” created controversy when, at first, the DMs Guild asked for the art to be toned down or censored.
Later, after a debate over whether fantasy RPGs have one standard for art intended for heterosexual men and another for everyone else, the DMs Guild revised their opinion and announced they were working with Wizards of the Coast on a decency code.
Although the way for Curse of Hearts to return to the digital storefront, Clegg decided to find a new home for the adventure that features a house full of gay vampires.
Curse of Hearts is now available at Proud Geek, a British site that supports LGBT representation in media. The adventure is available as a digital edition or a staplebound print edition. The print edition has already sold out, within days.
Help lost boys and daddy vampires find love and sustenance in this 5th edition adventure for the world’s best known role-playing game. Meet all sorts of fabulous monsters, from well endowed satyrs to cheeky slime monsters. Get all queer up in here. Perhaps you’ll be a matchmaker, and perhaps you will quietly weep as you slay some of them.
Proud Geek labels the adventure as explicit. It’s one of only two books in Proud Geek’s inventory to carry the tag, at the time of writing.
It is the case that these vampires aren’t wearing very much, but it also fair to suggest that some of the illustrations are sexual in nature.
What does A Curse of Hearts have to say about this? The tagline on the front cover offers some sass, noting;
A better love story than Twilight
