Tokens have become a very popular component of True Dungeon since they were introduced at Gen Con So Cal in 2003.  The tokens were added so that players could experience one of the most interesting and fun parts of adventuring—getting treasure!  They started out as "wooden nickel" type chips.

In 2007 the tokens were upgraded to professionally manufactured metal/plastic chips that have an embossed logo on one side and a full-color image on the other.  The tokens are heavy, and with their "gold" color they have the weight and appearance of a gold piece. The tokens are VERY durable, water-proof, and have a special clear laminate that protects the full-color image quite well.

The tokens that come in a standard 10-pack are organized into Common, Uncommon, Rare and Ultra Rare rarity groups.  Each pack of Treasure Tokens contains:

• 7 random Common tokens*
• 2 random Uncommon tokens
• 1 random Rare token

*1 out of 100 10-packs come with 6 random Common tokens and 1 random Ultra Rare token!

Every player receives a free pack of 10 random Treasure Tokens at the start of their adventure,, but players can also purchase tokens online at this website.  Some players become collectors and trade tokens throughout the year on the forums at truedungeon.com.  You can order tokens now by clicking on the STORE tab or by clicking on the graphic below.

Below are the images of the 140 tokens in the 2013 Treasure Token Collection.  You can see higher resolution images of the tokens at the very bottom of this page in the Image Gallery.  You can find out vital info on the 2013 Treasure Token Collection by reading our free "Quick Token Reference" which is now available for DOWNLOAD HERE.

NOTE:  With each $250+ token purchase, you can pick one of the above Ultra Rare tokens to be included in your order for FREE.  You can also select from any 2012 Ultra Rare - which can be viewed HERE.  Multiples of $250 token purchases apply, so if you place a $500 order, you get to pick TWO FREE Ultra Rares tokens.  Multiple sub-$250 orders may not be combined to achieve the $250 free Ultra Rare premium.

2013 Transmuted Tokens

Complete information about our limited-edition Transmuted Tokens can be found HERE.  These are really cool tokens that collectors can only obtain by sending in certain tokens called for in a specific recipe.

Gen Con Ticket Draw

On May 3rd 2013, we will hold a special drawing from the names of all the 2013 token buyers to date.  Ten lucky token buyers will win. Each winner can "pre-buy" up to 10 tickets (from one slot) before anyone else!  Winners will be contacted on May 3rd and have until May 10th to pick their event slot (and pay for the tickets).  If we do not hear back from a winner by May 10th, then another name will be drawn.  True Dungeon event tickets go on sale for everyone in late May.  For every 10-pack you buy, we put your name in the virtual hat.  Winners are guaranteed to get the exact slot they want without having to worry about the crazy time during event registration.  You still have to buy the tickets at the normal price.

REMEMBER:  The more tokens you buy, the greater your chance of winning!

The Golden Ticket
 
We are randomly inserting 40 special Golden Ticket tokens into the 2013 token collection.  Instead of a Common token, you may get one of these uber-cool tokens in your 10-pack.  Details for the Golden Ticket Event can be found at the URL printed on the token. You will also get a host of extra goodies which include a completely awesome pack of uber-rare and powerful tokens and an exclusive GT-only surprise inside your True Dungeon adventure.  

Set Powers

Equipping more than one Ultra Rare token can give your character some added benefits.  Three notable set powers are in play this year involving the five "Might" magic items.  Equipping at least three "Might" items will make your character more powerful by bestowing +1 level!

• Scepter of Might (2011) < re-printed in 2014
• Boots of Might (2011) < re-printed in 2015
• Girdle of Might (2011) < re-printed in 2016
• Crown of Might (2012)*
• Orb of Might (2013)*

*Available this year as one of your Ultra Rare selections with every $250 purchase.
 
Trio of Might:  Equipping with any three of the above tokens makes your character 5th level (instead of 4th level) for the dungeon.  Being 5th level gets your character more hit points, powers and 3rd level spells if your character is a spell caster.
 
Quartet of Might:  Equipping with any four of the above tokens makes your character 5th level (instead of 4th level) for the dungeon, and your character gains +2 to melee damage.
 
Quintet of Might:  Equipping with all five of the above tokens makes your character 5th level (instead of 4th level) for the dungeon, and your character gains +4 to melee damage.

There are also other set powers for possessing other groups of certain tokens.  You can see a listing of them on page 12 of the 2012 Token Guide.  The 2012 Token Guide currently does NOT have these new set powers added in 2013.

New 2013 Ultra Rare Allows Your Character to be +1 Level!

One of the 2013 Ultra Rares that will sure to be in high demand is the Medallion of Heroism.  It allow characters to gain a level of experience -- which gains them extra hit points and other cool abilities like 3rd level spells.  The only drawback to this magic item is that characters equipped with it cannot wear any Rings.

NEW 2013 Set Powers

Darkthorn Set  (Attacker takes 2 Piercing damage with each successful melee hit against the wearer of this set)

• Darkthorn Armor (2013 Uncommon)
• Darkthorn Helmet (2013 Uncommon)
• Darkthorn Shield (2013 Uncommon)

Wind Set (Feather Fall & invulnerability to non-magical missiles)

• Amulet of the Wind (2013 Rare)
• Cloak of the Wind (2013 Rare)
• Earcuff of the Wind (2013 Rare)

Cabal Set (May cast 2 spells in 1 round, once per room)

• Bracelets of the Cabal (2013 Ultra Rare)
• Charm of the Cabal (2013 Ultra Rare)
• Gloves of the Cabal (2013 Ultra Rare)

Multi-year Eldritch Set from 2013-2016

The Boots of the North Wind (2013 Ultra Rare) are the first in a four-year Eldritch-item Transmutable set. When you have all four "Wind Boots" collected (in 2016), you can transmute then into the "Boots of the Four Winds" which dovetails with the power of the Supreme Ring of Elemental Command—only it adds damage to offensive attacks (instead of protecting you from an elemental type.)

• Boots of the North Wind (2013 UR) – 3 pts of Cold damage with 1H melee weapons
• Boots of the South Wind (2014 UR) – 5 pts of Fire damage with 2H melee weapons
• Boots of the West Wind (2015 UR) – 3 pts of Shock damage with physical ranged weapons
• Boots of the East Wind (2016 UR) – 3 pts of Sonic damage with spells

You can turn in all four Wind Boots to get your Boots of the Four Winds which adds an additional 5 points of Eldritch damage to all weapon/spell attacks.

Condensed Packs ($1K each)

Some token collectors don't want to spend a lot of time opening up hundreds of 10-packs of tokens. They asked if we could make a condensed version available that would look like what 120 10-packs would look like AFTER the Common tokens were turned in for Trade tokens. Condensed packs save collectors the hassle of opening up all those 10-packs, sorting them, and then sending them off to be exchanged for Trade tokens. During the Check Out process, there will be a text box available for giving us notes.  In that text box, please indicate (in $1,000 increments) how much of your order should be in condensed form.

Instead of getting the normal 120 packs, you will receive the following for each Condensed Pack:

• 4 Ultra Rare tokens of your choice from either the 2012 or 2013 print runs—mix & match as you like
• 1 random 2013 Ultra Rare (There is a 20% chance an ADDITIONAL random Ultra Rare token will appear in your random Rare token bag.)
• 120 Random Rare tokens (10% of these will be platinum backed)
• 240 Random Uncommon tokens (10% of these will be platinum backed)
• 21 Sacred Stump Water tokens (Common)
• 2x Alchemist’s Ink
• 3x Alchemist’s Parchment
• 5x Darkwood Plank
• 9x Dwarven Steel
• 1x Enchanter’s Munitions
• 4x Minotaur Hide
• 3x Mystic Silk
• 2x Philosopher’s Stone
• 2,100 GP      
• Normal chance of a Golden Ticket*

*Golden Ticket: The chance to get a Golden Ticket will be the same exact chance you would have with a regular token purchase. The proper amount of Golden Tickets will be randomly placed among the “120 Rares” bag in all the Condensed packs. You will ALSO find that we have randomly added the “1 in 100” random Ultra Rare tokens inside these random “120 Rare” bag. On average, 1.2 additional Ultra Rare tokens will be added to your Rare bag, so most Rare bags will have 120 Rares inside plus 1 Ultra Rare as well. One out of five Rare bags will have two Ultra Rares. A very few will also have an additional token included—a Golden Ticket token. So, most Rare bags will have 121 tokens, 20% will have 122 tokens, and fewer will have 123 tokens.

In addition to all above, each Condensed pack (or non-Condensed $1K order) will receive a free limited-edition "Rod of Seven Parts, Segment 6" token when the order ships.  Finally, each Condensed pack (or non-Condensed $1K order) will receive a signed copy of each of the two modules for 2013 in October of 2013.

DEADLINE TO ORDER:  The deadline to order Condensed packs is January 15^th—or until we sell out of them.  It is possible that we will sell out of available Condensed packs earlier.

Introduction to 2013

            The story of Icecrag Keep and its people is still being written. I consider myself fortunate to be in the right place at the right time, and able of mind and body to tell the tale thus far. The world is not as it should be. There are wrongs that must be put right. There are dark places in the world that need the light. Of course, the Dwarves would not say it thusly, but it is true nonetheless, however they might voice it themselves.

            I am no scholar. Not a scribe. Not a historian. I am simply me. I am fascinated by the future, and I believe that in order to understand it, one must keep a tight hold of the past. Not to dwell there mind you, but to spend enough time there that the present is no mystery and the future no surprise. It is my hope and desire, that this chronicle will in some way enrich the lives of those who read it. That the reader may become that much more the wiser for the tale.

            As I put quill to parchment, I sit at the edge of a deep forest, shadowed in the half-light of dusk. The forest is not shadowed by the mere falling of night. There is another shadow if one looks long enough. If one lets their senses quest over the growth of bramble and the dim vine choked foliage, there is more. An unquiet murmur of danger. The spirit of the forest is restless. It troubles me. Troubles us all.

            I observe from a small window, the path that leads from the meadowlands. Beyond that, the steppe. The foothills. The mountains. and there in the heart of the region known as Dilmhold, is Icecrag Keep, now more than two years abandoned by her rightful residents, the noble Dwarves. I never lived among them, but have been captivated by their mysterious disappearance. That captivation led to an intense curiosity. I began to study them. I questioned those who knew them and I read of their culture. They left little behind, or at least they left little that we can reach. I assume that most of their possessions and records are safely locked behind a seemingly impenetrable gate. It is unbreakable, cannot be magically opened and, to my particular dismay, cannot be scryed. However, I digress. One might say that I have become a self-appointed keeper of the Dwarven culture while they are away. I have devoted myself to the preservation of their story, and also to helping to return them safely to their ancestral home, if need be.

            The chain of events that brought me this far from Icecrag makes for a long telling. One that, as I have said, has no ending as yet. In this unsettling place I attempt to embrace the hope that I may survive it to completion.

            And so we begin. Here on the final evening before a party of brave souls ventures into this terrifying wood in the attempt to locate the Dwarves. I am proud to say that I played no small part in bringing them here. If Uulru has guided us, then this will be the correct path. If there is anyone in the realms who can bring the Dwarves home, I can believe that it is these intrepid ten. I was there when they cleansed the tunnels beneath Icecrag. I was there when they returned from the deep darkness, having destroyed a beast so powerful that she was thought invincible. That is a part of our tale but only in passing. No, that is its own story. For another time perhaps...

Please check back later for more...much more...

We are randomly inserting 40 special Golden Ticket tokens into the 2013 token collection.  If you have found one of these special tokens inside one of our 10-packs congratulations!

Please bring your Golden Ticket token to the True Dungeon event inside Exhibit Hall B the ICC and present the token inside the appropriate event start Inn inside the storyscape at 6:00pm on Thursday, August 15th, 2013.  You will then go to your private Coaching Room where your "event start time" will offically be either 6:12, 6:13, 6:14 or 6:15 (depending on your adventure chosen at the link below).

You will also receive a limited edition, custom printed dice bag that will contain many hard-to-obtain 2013 tokens.

Please go to the official TD Forums and let your fellow Golden Ticket winners that you are ready for adventure!  Teams are being formed now HERE.

Congratulations, again!  Well done! 

How will you help your party make it through this adventure alive? 

View the Character Class Guide HERE .

Will you cleave your foes with your +1 Longsword?  Will you command the forces of the arcane against your party's foes?  Will you bolster your party with a rousing tune or will you use healing spells to cure their wounds?

The cool design of True Dungeon is that the degree of success you have with your chosen action is not done by a simple dice roll.  Rather, every character class has a special, real world test that they must perform in order to successful attack, cast a spell or pick a lock.

Character Class Cards

There are 12 different classes to choose from in True Dungeon, and each player must play a different class.  Once character classes are picked each player will receive a full-color printed character class card that they will use throughout the adventure.  Players get to keep the card as a souvenir. 

Most players use the 4th level player Character Cards, but those players with a Trio of Might (more info HERE on pages 10-11) can use the 5th level Character Cards.  Above is what the 5th level Elf Wizard Card looks like.  The back of the card has a Tutorial for helpful hints to players.  You can see all the Character Card images in the Resources section HERE.

You don't roll dice in True Dungeon.  It is up to you to succeed!

When you attack a monster in a True Dungeon™ event you will not be rolling a d20 as is the case in Dungeons and Dragons. Rather, instead of luck controlling the fate of your attack, the result of the swing will be determined by your hand and eye coordination!

Q. How does Lycanthropy & silver weapons work in TD?

A. If a player is hit by a were-creature with a melee attack they must have a DC-15/20/25 (Normal/Hardcore/Nightmare) Fort save or she is infected with the magical disease for the rest of the adventure. This means that on the first round of any subsequent combats that the infected character must take no action during the first round of combat -- other than take the round to calm themselves and resist the urge to go into their were-form. The magical disease can be prevented by some methods, and cured by others.

Silver weapons do no extra damage to were-creatures. Damage from Silver weapons cannot be regenerated nor magically healed by lycanthropes.

In the world of True Dungeon, magic plays an important role. Wizards are masters of devastating arcane power which they can use to cause massive damage to terrible foes! Clerics, with their divine healing and curative abilities are often the only thing standing between a fellow adventurer and certain death. Druids commune with nature not only to bring forth healing, but to command the elements themselves as mighty weapons.

In addition to combat and class skills, there are many other challenges that await players in True Dungeon. Most of these challenges take the form of puzzles and creative problem solving tasks. There are also physical challenges such as walking a balance beam or dodging a jet of water.
