Drowning Moon Studios

Drowning Moon Studios, LLC got its start as Lurking Fear Productions, a small production company that DMS founder Joie Martin used to produce the campaign boffer larp, Covenant, and other stand-alone parlor larp events in the Atlanta area. Founded in 2000, Lurking Fear Productions ran its last event at MomoCon 2014; a free-roaming larp inspired by magical girl and shōnen anime that combined aspects of parlor larp, ARG and Japanese trading-card games. Not long after that, the company reincorporated and rebranded as Drowning Moon Studios, and began publishing short-form larps and tabletop roleplaying games on DriveThruRPG.
