Walker’s Bluff Winery

Carterville, Illinois

Friday & Saturday June 17th – 18th, 2022

REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED!

Did you register for Skull Con -- but now cannot make it?

We have had a few registered Skull Con attendees contact us with the unfortunate news that they cannot now attend Skull Con.  For all registered attendees who cannot make it to Skull Con, we will ship their Skull Con swag to them after the event.

Additional Info Post May 12th

Due to the incredible response, we have over 350 excited True Dungeon players attending Skull Con.  It will be amazing to get so many cool folks together in one place to geek out about True Dungeon.  We cannot wait to see everyone!  We will be presenting a full seven-room adventure for all Skull Con attendees (while also providing another adventure for Patrons), but we are asking attendees to bring some of their favorite games to enjoy with others between events.

Walker’s Bluff is a nice venue that will be offering a full bar and a limited menu of tasty food.  It should be a great place to enjoy a day of gaming with TD friends.  We will be utilizing two buildings for the event. See map below for where to head for your fun.

There will be opportunities to transmute Treasure Tokens at True Dungeon HQ on Thursday (6/16) and early Friday (6/17), and then transmuting will shift to Walker’s Bluff starting at 5:00pm on Friday.  We encourage everyone to arrive near opening time.  You can then game and hang out all day, enjoy your dungeon adventure – and stick around to celebrate your adventure.  This will be a rare chance for us all to enjoy our TD Community outside of a normal busy game convention.  The Tasting Room interior is shown below.

---------------------------------

TRANSMUTING:  Please use THIS FORM to ready your transmute order before arriving.  Note:  You can redeem Pirate Treasure Map tokens at Skull Con, and Treasure Chips you have -- as well as transmute both Dragon Orbs!

TREASURE:  All players (regardless of level) for the Skull Con run (and the Patron run) will receive a flat 25 random treasure draws at the end of the event.  No treasure enhancers are needed! 

ROAD CONSTRUCTION:  There may be a slight detour to the event if you are coming from the Carbondale area.  There is working happening now on Reed Station Rd.  Watch for road signs.

Attendees of Skull Con must be FULLY VACCINATED* against COVID19.  Proof of vaccination will be required to attend Skull Con.  We respect everyone’s right to choose what is best for them.  Please respect our right to choose the level of safety we wish for our families, employees, volunteers, and guests.  If you have a valid medical exemption from vaccination, you will be permitted to attend by providing a letter from your physician.  Letters must be from your family physician or primary care provider.  Letters from chiropractors or other non-pcp’s will not be accepted.  To define “fully vaccinated” we will follow the CDC’s guidelines, as listed at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html?s_cid=11747:what%20does%20fully%20vaccinated%20mean:sem.ga:p:RG:GM:gen:PTN:FY22. 

Currently "fully vaccinated" does not include a booster.  Everyone is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series (such as Pfizer or Moderna), or two weeks after the single-dose J&J vaccine.  Fully vaccinated is not the same as having the best protection.  People are best protected when they stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations, which includes getting the booster(s) when eligible.

Proof of vaccination or valid medical exemption will be requested via email of all registered participants after the April 1 registration deadline. 

If you wish to attend, you have until April 1^st, 2022 to complete the Skull Con Registration Google Form HERE.

IMPORTANT: You MUST present the actual Skull of Cavadar token(s) for validation when you arrive at the event. It will be validated via its unique number as well as with its unique embedded RFID chip. Failure to bring it to the event will result in you NOT BEING ADMITTED TO SKULL CON.

Redeeming Two Skulls to Play the Dungeon Twice: We know there are folks who want to play the adventure more than once, but we ask that Skull Bearers please limit your total runs to a maximum of two. If you really want to play more than once, you must redeem an additional Skull of Cavadar token to make that happen. The badge generated from this Skull redemption must have your name on it (not a friend's or family member's name), and these secondary badges cannot be used by anyone else to gain entrance to the event nor to do anything at Skull Con. The form allows you to redeem more than one Skull token, but be sure to list your name for these additional badges if you want to play the adventure a second time.

Ghosting is not permitted for this special event. (A player may not have more than one ticket/badge per time slot. You can't submit two Skulls, get two badges, and then gain an extra set of Participation tokens for the extra "empty" spot your second badge would have occupied.)

Selling Your Skull Bearer "Rights" to Create a Skull Con Badge: We know folks will want to do this--especially if they can't make the event. It can be done, but there are a few hurdles to make sure no shenanigans are happening. Your Skull of Cavadar token must be physically presented at Skull Con by the person whose name is on the badge (that is trying to be picked up). You must provide this person's name by April 1st via the Google form. Also, that person's badge will have the time of the special two-hour event on the back of it. When this adventure starts, the person must present the badge and their ID (to the Coach) so that we can verify that person/badge/start time all are correct. You will be able to pick the adventure start time before the Skull Con event.

Skull of Cavadar tokens are NOT retained by TD when they are presented for validation. You may keep them for future use at other events.

This event is open to anyone 13 years of age or older, but those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who also has a valid Skull of Cavadar. Every player, regardless of age, must have their own Skull of Cavadar token.

There is a nice, new commuter airport about 10 miles from the event and it has daily service from St. Louis and Nashville. There are three hotels within three miles of the event, and many more a few miles further.

Skull Con Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can Golden Tickets be turned in at Skull con (transmute) so they don’t have to mail them in?
A. They must be mailed in so we can mark them in our system. It sucks, but there is no other good way.

Q. Transmutes at Skull Con…if they drop off Friday at the shop, will they be finished and brought over to the winery?
A. Yes. They can drop off at TD HQ and pick up at the winery.

Q. With that if they drop off a large transmute order Saturday can it just be mailed back to the person?
A. No. All large orders at Skull Con must be turned in by 3:00pm on Saturday so they can be ready to be picked up that night. We will have lots of folks transmuting so we will finish all orders -- so we don't have to ship anything back.

Q. Do patrons need treasure enhancers for patron runs at Skull con…or is that 25 treasure as well.
A. Everyone (Skull Bearers and Patrons) at Skull Con get an even 25 treasure draws after each adventure - with no equipped TE's adding to that amount.

Q.When is the cut off date for mail-in transmutes before Gen Con.
A. They must be postmarked by July 15th, 2022. Generally, you need to have the order to us two weeks before an event.

Q: If I have multiple Skull of Cavadar tokens and want to pre-register my friends, how do I do that?
A: The Goggle form has spaces to enter in multiple names. Please remember that upon check in at Skull Con each of these people need to present their state-issued ID and Skull of Cavadar token. The ID must also be presented at the start of the two-hour adventure.

Q: If we have or are going to obtain multiple Skull of Cavadar tokens, do we have to pre-register all of them at once? For example: Can we pre-register two now and one later so another friend who's not able to commit that far ahead might be able to come if they decide to later? Or I could use that third Skull of Cavadar token myself if there's still room by that time for badges?
A: So long as everything is turned in via the Google form by April 1^st, multiple entries are okay… but not preferred. There is no benefit to submitting early, so please wait until you have all your info gathered.

Q: Will there be other events happening at Skull Con or just the dungeons?
A: There will be other planned activities as well as open gaming. Much depends on how many people sign up to attend. Details will be announced closer to the event.

Q: Do we get XP for playing the Skull Con adventure?
A: No

Q: Do Skull Con attendees get a unique participation token?
A: Yes

Q: Can I use treasure-enhancers on my run?
A: No...you are going to get 25 treasure draws...without having to equip any treasure-enhancing tokens.

Q: Do I need to have the Skull of Cavadar token on me when I get my badge at the event?
A: Most definitely YES! All attendees MUST present their Skull of Cavadar token when they pick up their badge at Skull Con. Each Skull of Cavadar token will be validated via its unique serial number as well as with its embedded RFID chip. Even though you are not required to present your Skull of Cavadar token at other times, we recommend keeping it on your person in case there are questions. Failure to bring your Skull of Cavadar token to the event will result in you NOT BEING ADMITTED TO SKULL CON.

Q: If I want to equip an Ioun Stone Mystic Orb, do I need to show the coach my Skull of Cavadar token to get the additional save bonus?
A: No. All Skull Con characters are assumed to have a Skull of Cavadar equipped.

Q: When we show up at Skull Con and present the Skull of Cavadar tokens to get our badges, if we're getting some badges in other people's names, do they have to physically be there, or can I get the badges for all my companions?
A: Every registrant MUST be physically present and in possession of their Skull of Cavadar token to get their Skull Con badge.

Q: Once we get our Skull Con badge, will we ever have to show our Skull of Cavadar token again or will our badge suffice?
A: You need to show and validate your Skull of Cavadar token at badge pickup. You won't need to show before your run. Even though you may not be required to present your Skull of Cavadar token at other times, we recommend keeping it on your person in case there are questions.

Q: Is TD okay with us selling/leasing/loaning extra Skull Con access?
A: Yes. But bear in mind that you're providing them a badge for the entire weekend and the recipient MUST have a valid Skull of Cavadar token in their possession.

Q: Can I run the adventure more than once?
A: If you have more than one Skull of Cavadar token, you may run the adventure up to a maximum of two times. Each run requires a unique Skull of Cavadar token.

Welcome Patron!

Thank you very much for your amazing support of True Dungeon. Lori and I, along with the entire TD Team greatly appreciate your help in presenting True Dungeon to the world. We are excited to give all Patrons exclusive perks in 2025, detailed below. You will be emailed a Patron code at the time of purchase. Once you enter your Patron Code into your td.events account, the code will carry forward for all 2025 events. You will be able to claim one ticket to each Patron Event. If you choose to transfer that ticket to another non-Patron user, you may do so.

April, 2025: This Patron-exclusive event's exact date will be announced later, but it will have an exclusive Participation token as well as other fun stuff.

Note: Patrons have the first chance to buy event tickets at all virtual True Dungeon events in 2025.

How Digital Patron Codes Work

Two of the great benefits of being a Patron are the ability to buy TD event tickets before anyone else, and the chance to attend Patron-exclusive TD events. Both of these benefits utilize digital codes that are redeemed at td.events.

Buying Normal Event Tickets Early
A few days after an $8k Patron Pack is ordered, a Patron code (and four AG Codes) are generated and sent (as five separate emails) to the email address on the order. Both these types of codes allow the user to gain early access to purchasing tickets for events sold in 2025 at td.events. These codes must be entered into an account at td.events quickly--before the next event has concluded. The email with the codes specifies which event (e.g., VTD 28) it must be paired with to unlock the early-buy feature for that specific account for the rest of the year. If the code is not entered before the end of that event, the code no longer works. So please make sure the person using a code enters it into their td.events account for that specific event--regardless of whether they plan to participate in that event or not. Thus, if you sell an AG code to someone, be sure they enter the newly received code before the end of the event  mentioned in the email. If you have any questions, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Gaining Access to Patron Exclusive Events
Patrons have access to purchase a Patron event ticket with their existing td.events account. If a Patron is not able to participate in a Patron event and wants to transfer their ticket to another non-Patron user, they may do so. The original Patron code that you receive after the purchase of a Patron Pack applies to all 2025 virtual events.

Multi-Year Patron Transmute Token

Coming in 2026, we'll host a special event for fans of True Dungeon called Ring Con. As a reward for their support from 2023-2026, multi-year Patrons can transmute their four different Path of Enlightenment Fragment tokens into a very special token: Mark of Enlightenment. Owners of one of these special tokens can enjoy a special adventure presented just for them at Ring Con. In addition, this token grants a Relic-level power. When you transmute this token, your name is printed at the bottom of the token under the words "Soulforged to:" In addition, each token will have a unique, random glyph. No two tokens will have the same "Mark" on them.

How This Special Transmuting Works: Starting in early 2026, Patrons can send in all four unique Path to Enlightenment Fragment tokens (2023-2026) to register for the patron-only Path to Enlightenment sub-event. Only those four tokens are required in the recipe. Early transmuters won't take possession of their completed Mark of Enlightenment (MoE) until Ring Con--assuming we receive their token submission before the cutoff date, probably in the 2nd quarter of 2026. A MoE can still be transmuted after the 2026 cutoff day, but in that case, the completed token won't be sent out until early 2027. To be able to participate in the patron-only Path to Enlightenment sub-event at Ring Con, we must receive your MoE transmute order before the Ring Con registration deadline. The exact date for the registration deadline will be announced in 2025, but the deadline is likely to be sometime in early 2026.

That's a lot of dates, so here's a timeline:

• Early 2026: Registration for Ring Con event opens. Registration for the patron-only Path to Enlightenment sub-event requires sending all four PoE fragment tokens.
• 2nd Quarter 2026: Cutoff date for us to receive your MoE transmute order if you want to receive your MoE token at Ring Con.
• Mid 2026(ish): Ring Con registration deadline.
• Early 3rd Quarter 2026: Ring Con held. This is also the first time a transmuter can take possession of their MoE token.
• December 1, 2026: Last day for us to receive your MoE transmute order.
• Early 2027: MoE transmute orders received between May 1, 2026 and December 1, 2026 get sent out.

Note: Unlike most transmuted tokens which have about a two-year window to create--whether or not you attend Ring Con--we must receive your MoE transmute package before December 1, 2026. Please plan accordingly as you'll have less than one year to make this very special token.

More information and exact dates will be posted in 2025. More info about Ring Con can be found HERE.

Check out this cool third-party Token Collector app that helps token collectors keep track of their TD Token collection. Besides the standard token data, it also allows you to track all of your tokens by back color, as well as see which Adventure Module and Initial Convention the tokens appeared. In addition to what you’ve collected, you can keep track of which tokens you want and which ones are available for trade. And you can see what other people have available for trade too!

ALL 2022 Patrons get to play this exclusive online event (even if you played the in-person Patron event at SkullCon). 

The Virtual Patron Run will take place the night of Friday, Sept. 30th.  It is a tongue-n-cheek adventure called "Grunnel Goes Home".

It will utilize our VTD system, and it should feel much like a standard virtual adventure -- only a bit weirder. 

All Patrons will receive more information in July -- including how to claim your free ticket as a Patron.

Thanks for all your support!

If you draw any of the CURSED tokens, you must equip it/them during your next in-person run. It is possible to suffer the effects of more than one CURSE at the same time. E.g., if you pulled CURSED Fork of Gluttony and CURSED Mirror of Pride, you would be under the effects of both curses. However, if you pull the same CURSED token more than once, the effects of the duplicated CURSE do not stack.

If you received multiple CURSED tokens with the same name, you must equip one during subsequent in-person runs until they are all depleted.

These are, of course, completely optional--they're just a bit of geeky fun. You can negate the effect of one token if you deploy a Scroll of Remove Curse, Censer of Sacrifice, Fey Bread, Potion of Bliss Stout, Potion Moon Veil, or a Scroll of Remove Woe. The tokens used to negate the CURSED token should be discarded.

Once you fulfill or negate the CURSE, you may keep the token as a keepsake. These completely expire at the end of Gamehole Con 2022. No CURSED token may be used in an adventure--in any capacity--after 2022.

We MAY be presenting an adventure at MomoCon in in August of 2025. Stay tuned for more info.

Coming in 2026, Ring Con promises to be an amazing event. Much like our previous Skull Con, it will be a weekend of TD fun and geeking with rabid TD fans. The exact details won't be announced until 2025, but we hope to re-create all the fun of Skull Con and then take it to an even higher level. This exclusive affair is open only to True Dungeon players who have transmuted the five different Rings of the Nth Circle into a Ring of the Sacred Circle. This transmuted token must be presented to enter Ring Con and participate in the various TD-themed events--presenting the ingredients to make a Ring of the Sacred Circle is not sufficient.

Additionally, at Ring Con, there's an even more exclusive experience available to token collectors who have collected all four Path to Enlightenment fragments and transmuted them into their final form: the Mark of Enlightenment. These patrons can enjoy a special adventure presented just for them, as a way for us to say, "thank you for your amazing support!" As an extra dose of coolness, as part of the Mark of Enlightenment creation process, your name is printed at the bottom of the token under the words "Soulforged to:". You may select any name you want (we reserve the right to reject any name that we deem incongruous with our game) to appear on the token. However, the name on the token must match the name on the ID (either convention badge or government-issued photo ID) of the person using it.

Here are some photos of our last special event, Skull Con, held in June 2022:

Click here for the NEW Charm of Avarice recipe option!

As much fun as it is to defeat menacing monsters and solve perplexing puzzles, the feeling you get when looting treasure at the end of an adventure is just plain awesome. Even though all players are now guaranteed to get a minimum of three treasure pulls, adventurers have always sought ways to increase the amount of treasure they can earn from their True Dungeon experience. Back in 2007, we introduced the "fabled" Horn of Plenty that could effectively triple the amount of loot one could score if the party consistently did well. In 2011, Ring of Riches was released, and in 2013 Charm of Good Fortune came out. Ever since, there has been a steady stream of treasure-enhancing tokens printed and enjoyed by players all over the world.

In 2015, the first token to combine multiple treasure enhancers (TEs) into one slot was released: the Charm of Avarice! This amazing item is considered by many to be the most sought-after token in existence. It has the potential to grant an additional 13 tokens, so it's understandable why everyone wants one of their own. But because it was released so many years ago, the items required to craft it have become more and more difficult to acquire. This has led to frustration on the part of some newer players. So, we have created a NEW recipe option for crafting Charm of Avarice with newer tokens.

Players now have a third recipe option to create a Charm of Avarice. The new recipe option consists of the following tokens:

• 10× Alchemist's Ink
• 10× Alchemist's Parchment
• 10× Darkwood Plank
• 10× Dwarven Steel
• 10× Enchanter's Munition
• 10× Minotaur Hide
• 10× Mystic Silk
• 10× Philosopher's Stone
• 10,000 GP in Reserve bars
• 12 points worth of tokens (any combination; duplicates are fine) using the following values:
  • 4 pts: Amulet of Treasure Finding (2015)
  • 1 pt: Bead Bounty (2023)
  • 1 pt: 2025 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
  • 1 pt: 2027 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)

All Charm of Avarice recipes are self-contained and may not be mixed and matched. You can order this and all other currently available Transmuted tokens on the TD Transmute page.
 

But wait, there's more!

Coming in 2027, there's going to be a token that surpasses the mighty Charm of Avarice when it comes to increasing the size of your treasure trove! Its final name has not been determined, but the "Token of Über Avarice" (or whatever it may be called) will grant the person who equips it an extra 20(!) treasure pulls--that's one more than the sum of its parts. And it does so without taking up an equipment slot! The breakdown of those 20 treasure pulls comes from the following:

• 13* from Charm of Avarice
• 2 from Bead of Bounty
• 2 from the 2025 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
• 2 from the 2027 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
• 1 from the token being cool

*Not a variable number. Even though Charm of Avarice is a synergistic token with a variable treasure bonus, Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) always gives the same treasure pull bonus.

To give collectors ample notice for this forthcoming slotless mega-TE, we are releasing parts of the recipe now.  This is not the complete recipe!  For now, only the "big" items are being announced. Expect the final recipe to require an extremely large amount of Trade and Reserve bar tokens. In addition to other items, the Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) is going to require the following tokens:

• Charm of Avarice
• Bead of Bounty
• the 2025 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
• the 2027 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)

Stacking
As you may have assumed, a player may not equip Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) with any of the following:

• Amulet of Treasure Finding
• Bead of Bounty
• Charm of Avarice
• Charm of Good Fortune
• Horn of Plenty
• Ring of Riches
• the 2025 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
• the 2027 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)

Please Note: Ioun Stone Silver Nugget, Ioun Stone Gold Nugget, and Ioun Stone Platinum Nugget are not on that list. That's because they stack with Token of Über Avarice (name TBD). Thus, starting in 2027 it'll be possible to equip the Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) and the three aforementioned Ioun Stone Nuggets to yield a grand total of 29 total treasure pulls (including the three starting pulls everyone gets) after an adventure. Players 6th level or higher can gain 30 treasure pulls!

Does it Synergize?
Fear not, the Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) contributes toward the synergy bonus for Charm of Good Fortune or Charm of Avarice for fellow party members who have not equipped a Token of Über Avarice (name TBD).
