Welcome Gen Con Attendees!

True Dungeon returns in 2025 for our 22nd year at Gen Con! We will once again be building multiple amazing True Dungeon experiences in our event space at the Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis, IN. You'll be able to join us for our fan-favorite Gen Con events from Thursday, July 31, to Sunday, August 3, 2025.

Tickets will go on sale through Gen Con's Event Registration system at Noon (Eastern Daylight Time) on Sunday, May 18th, 2025. True Dungeon tickets tend to sell out very quickly, so be sure to get yours as early as you can on that day.

To play True Dungeon at Gen Con you must have a valid 1-Day or 4-Day convention badge. This badge must be in your Gen Con account in order to purchase tickets.

Don't have a badge for Gen Con? Consider volunteering with us to earn one! We provide badges as part of the volunteer rewards for Part Time, Full Time, and Local Install volunteers. More information about volunteering for True Dungeon at Gen Con can be found by clicking here.

Three Amazing Runeheim Adventures Already Announced!

Raid on Ravenshold - Set to debut at Origins Game Fair in June, Raid on Ravenshold is the first part of a three-part storyline for our 2025 in-person adventures. This is a full-length, seven-room immersive adventure where our players will take on the role of exiled Vikings raiding into their ancestral lands in order to save their home from a terrible evil.

Runecrag Crypt - Debuting for the first time at Gen Con 2025, Runecrag Crypt is the second part of our three-dungeon adventure arc for this year's in-person events. With an important magical weapon in hand, our Viking raiders will venture to a magically sealed crypt is search of an ancient relic.

Eldest Ice Unbroken - Also debuting at Gen Con is Eldest Ice Unbroken, the final adventure in our three-part in-person story arc. Having retrieved the ancient relic from Runecrag Crypt, the Viking raiders undergo a dangerous journey high into the Frostfire Mountains to locate and destroy the portal demons have been using to invade Runeheim for a generation.

2025 Event Details

FIVE Levels of Challenge
Non-lethal: If all players in the group agree, the party can tell their Coach they want to play their adventure on the "non-lethal" challenge rating. This is designed for people who just want to enjoy their True Dungeon adventure without having to worry about their character dying. Awarded XP for this challenge level is 650 XP.

Normal: By default, all parties play their adventure on the Normal challenge level--characters can die on this difficulty, but a good party can emerge victorious with only basic equipment as long as they work well together and think on their feet. If this challenge is either too much or insufficient, other levels are available. Awarded XP for this challenge level is 650 + 50 more for each room reached before character death.

Hardcore: If all players in the group agree, the players can tell their Coach they want to play their adventure on the "Hardcore" challenge rating. This is for people who have some TD experience and at least 3 bags of tokens. Awarded XP for this challenge level is 1650 + 50 more for each room reached before character death.

Nightmare: If all players in the group agree, the players can tell their Coach they want to play their adventure on the "Nightmare" challenge rating. This is for people who have lots of experience, moxie, and/or tokens. THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT EVENT.  Awarded XP for this challenge level is 1650 + 50 more for each room reached before character death.

Epic: If all players in the group agree, the players can tell their Coach they want to play their adventure on the "Epic" challenge rating. This turns the difficulty up to 11. All bets are off when you play Epic. Assume your character will die! Awarded XP for this challenge level is 1650 + 50 more for each room reached before character death.

Experience Points Earned
Players--not characters--receive Experience Points (XP) for playing TD adventures and gain various benefits for achieving higher levels. Some TD veterans are now 11th level. The amount of XP earned is based on the challenge rating of the adventure as well as how many rooms your character enters alive. (Your character need not survive the entire adventure to get max XP, your character just needs be alive when entering the final room.)

Non-lethal = 650 XP
Normal = 650 XP + 50 XP/room
Hardcore= 1650 XP + 50 XP/room
Nightmare = 1650 XP + 50 XP/room
Epic = 1650 XP + 50 XP/room

If a person plays the same adventure more than once, they receive the highest XP earned in all runs of that particular adventure. E.g., if someone plays an adventure twice, once at the Normal level and once on Nightmare level, that player receives XP for the Nightmare adventure only. (I.e., the XP awards for the same adventure don’t stack.) If you played Raid on Ravenshold at Origins Game Fair, the XP you get for playing that adventure at Gen Con won't stack with it. Likewise, if you play Runecrag Crypt or Eldest Ice Unbroken at Gen Con, the XP you receive will not stack with XP earned from those adventures at San Japan or Gamehole Con.

Participation Tokens
As stated earlier, players earn a cool, limited edition Participation token just for playing a TD adventure. Each event for Gen Con 2025 has a unique Participation token that will be awarded to players regardless of level of difficulty. There are also unique Survival buttons available for each adventure: one for Normal/Hardcore and another for Nightmare/Epic. Anyone playing on the "Non-Lethal" setting will receive a Participation token, but no Survival button can be earned on "Non-Lethal" difficulty.

Transmuting
To save time and hassle with creating your transmuted tokens, we offer a location where you can create 2024 and 2025 transmuted tokens right there on the spot. There is no charge to use this service and it's available to all token collectors.

Before coming to the Transmuting Room, we request that you use a standard form to prepare your transmute order. It contains the order form that you need to date & sign before turning in, recipe checklists you need to include, and slips to insert in the token bags you turn in. Please have all your tokens organized and all paperwork completed before coming to the Transmuting Room. During peak times, there may be a line at the door. Having all your stuff prepared ahead of time helps us to help you and your fellow collectors get through the line as quickly as possible. We will update this page with the 2025 in-person Transmute form once it is available.

Note: We are not able to convert standard tokens into Trade items or Reserve bars at Gen Con.

We have not yet set the hours for Transmuting at Gen Con 2025, but they will most likely follow a similar pattern to last year. At Gen Con 2024, the Transmuting Room was open at the following times:

• 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Thursday, August 1st
• 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Friday, August 2nd
• 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday, August 3rd
  Transmuting was not available on Sunday.

Once we have determined 2025 Transmute hours we will be sure to update this page with that information.
