About me

Hey there! My name's Amber and I started playing 5e in my 30's. I wanted to start sooner, but it turns out that getting a bunch of adults all in one room at the same time is super tough. 😄 After being a player for about a year I started running my own homebrew campaign for a few long-distance friends and learned it was way more fun to play the monsters. My hobbies include tabletop wargaming 🎲, video games 🎮, and art 🖌️ - so running D&D games is a natural fit for me. I very much enjoy creating maps, handouts, and other things that make my players feel immersed in the story. I don't enjoy being a player in games where I lose track of what my character is doing and why. With that in mind, I try to provide my players with an experience they can feel invested in. The games I run are less about adhering to the rules than working together to tell an interesting story. I welcome brand-new players and communicate openly to create an inclusive, fun environment for everyone. If you don't see a game listed for the time you had hoped, send me a message. I'm happy to adjust the time of a session if I'm able to make it work. This becomes more difficult to do as the game fills, so please just keep that in mind. I host games that I would want to be a part of - welcoming to everyone, inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly, and I check in often with my players to make sure everyone is having a good time.

GM Style

I bring tokens, maps, handouts, and ambient music to sessions. I reward clever solutions and compelling roleplay. I'm flexible and allow the group's interest to dictate where the adventure goes.

Very kind and helpful, as this is my first time with Foundry. Worked with me to transition my PC into an ongoing party. Definitely connects with their players.

Truly builds unique, complete worlds with excellent maps, sounds and well-developed NPCs. She is very inclusive and does her best to make sure everyone's voice is heard, gets their chance to play and is still having fun. She is great coach and GM for both beginners and advanced players. She helped me grow from a totally new RP to a fairly well experienced one by the end of the campaign.

If you are looking for someone who can make a first-level boss encounter feel like the Avengers vs. Thanos, then Trulyrageous is your DM. I spent over a week vetting DMs and digging through personal websites, twitch channels and other sundry places in addition to these reviews before I selected Truly. Superlatives aren’t enough to describe how obvious it is that she’s the one. She is the creative, clever, prepared and inclusive DM that all other DMs aspire to be. She has kept us moving and seamlessly changed directions as we changed plans. So far, our adventure feels exactly like an epic yarn instead of the canned adventure that she’s drawing from. Her voices are endearing and add much to the immersion. The cinematic embellishments that she drops in as we combat our enemies add riveting flavor and excitement to the mechanics of combat. I really love her skill, preparation and talent. I love how obvious it is that she cares about the game and how important it is to her that it be entertaining. In the end, it can be summed up by simply stating that Trulyrageous is kind, capable and talented.

This is my first game with Truly, and I have to say I absolutely love her as a DM. She's set up a great and inclusive space where I and everyone else feels free to express themselves and their characters. She allows for creative solutions to problems, get's into playing the NPCs, and overall makes the game fun. I can't recommend her enough to a new, returning, or veteran player!
