David Allen Krause, a bard at heart and a spreadsheet builder by passion, was introduced to the fantastical world of True Dungeon in 2007 by Feedback (Matthew Atherton), the champion of the first season of Who Wants To Be a Superhero. That same year, David donned the mantle of a bard for his first True Dungeon experience, a class that would become his signature and a persona that would be known as Amorgen Burke.
In 2009, volunteering as a Player Coach at True Realm ignited his desire to create a user-friendly, community-driven spreadsheet that empowered True Dungeon players to optimize their characters, regardless of their software choice.
Nearly a decade of dedication to the True Dungeon community saw David recognized for his contribution. In 2017, he received the named token "Amorgen's Amazing Ocarina", featuring his own dragon tooth ocarina, acquired in commemoration of the successful defeat of Smoak.
When he's not composing music, updating spreadsheets, or playing tabletop or video games, David enjoys guiding adventurers as a Dungeon Master for Virtual True Dungeon or coaching players at conventions.

Version 2025.01 Notes
- Added all 2025 tokens included in the "Sent to Print" forum posts
- Added 2024 tokens from TokenDB that were not yet in the spreadsheet
- Added Bead slots and the limitation of 8 total equipped
- Removed Benrow selections for Bracers as Bracers can't be Thrown
- Updated formulas to allow for more token selections (quality of life improvement - within 1-2 years this would have been necessary anyway)
- Supported the new Shield Maiden Bracers by splitting shields into OffhandShield as a slot name instead of Offhand to allow Shields to be shown in dropdown separately from other offhand items
- Created support for MeleeAC increase without increasing RangedAC (previous increases to AC from a token gave a bump to both AC types)
- Fixed some tokens with incorrect slots (making them invisible to the drop-downs)
- Added support for an additional StackBlock (a token can be now blocked by up to 3 equipped tokens).
- Set up StackBlocks for the Trilliant tokens and the Bead Enhancers
- Updated set bonuses for "Ancients", "Defender", and "Death Knight". Prepared for the "Sea Raider" set once bonuses are announced
