Earn XP and Get a FREE Exclusive Token at Gamehole Con

We are happy to announce that each player of a two-hour adventure at Gamehole Con will be able to claim experience points -- just like can be done at Gen Con. Players will be provided with a card with a unique code which can be entered at the TD website to record XP for your player account.

NOTE: This only applies to players under 5th level. If you are 5th level or higher at the time the XP code is entered, your run will appear in your history. However, 5th level+ players will NOT receive any XP for entering the code. This is being done as a good compromise to encourage new players to give TD a try at Gamehole Con.

Each player (regardless of level) will also receive a special exclusive Rare token at the end of their adventure. This useful "Pants of Retrieval" token will come in handy for years to come. It will only be available to players at Gamehole Con, members of the 2016 Adventurers' Guild (included with modules sent next month) and in very limited quantities inside the Treasure Generators at Gen Con 2017.

With the XP fun, the free great token and an expanded number of exclusive TD events, Gamehole Con is going to be a Con you don't want to miss.

Gamehole Con Details

True Dungeon has expanded to a great smaller game convention in November, and it is a perfect chance for TD fans to enjoy more TD fun. It will be an amazing time since we are offering two full-size adventures (presented in a spacious exhibit hall) and True Grind -- both at a big discount from the price at Gen Con. And the second adventure called "The Underdark Awaits" is a Gamehole Con EXCLUSIVE. This is your ONLY CHANCE to experience this adventure.

Gamehole Con is well-run smaller Con that takes place on November 4th-6th in Madison, Wisconsin in a modern convention center. They have given us a huge exhibit hall to present the two adventures, so the rooms will be full-size and complete with the special effects you have come to expect at Gen Con.

See available tickets HERE.


Our Gamehole Con events:

Deeperdark Redux - This is a full two-hour adventure made up of fan-favorite rooms from TD's long past. This adventure was also presented at Who's Yer Con in April of 2016.

NEW! The Underdark Awaits - This is a full two-hour adventure made up of fan-favorite rooms from TD's long past. This adventure has not been presented anywhere, and it will only be shown at Gamehole Con in 2016.

True Grind - We will once again present a new hack and slash one-hour adventure designed to appeal to those players who love the heat of battle.

Token Transmuting Room - To save time and hassle with transmuting your tokens, we are offering a location where you can drop off tokens to be transmuted. You can pick them up later at your convenience. This is a great way to do multiple transmutations at no cost to you – in a short amount of time. This service is open to any token collector.

Friday - Last Day to Buy Tokens!


Only a few days remain for you to pick up some of the 2016 Token collection. The last day to purchase the tokens is Sept. 30th. After that, all the 2015 Ultra Rares tokens will no longer be available to choose with your $250 order. This is your last chance to grab a Amulet of Treasure Finding, Earcuff of Orbits, Boots of the West Wind or a Ioun Stone Amethyst Ovoid.

CLICK HERE to grab your tokens today.

Doesn't this mean that someone who just barely reached 5th level at GenCon can get leapfrogged by someone who almost reached 5th level at GenCon?

Maybe the better implementation is that the XP from GHC cannot bring your total XP to above 10,000 XP?

I know you are not asking me this but it sure looks like you are.

This is me. I just got 5th. If I would have waited to enter my XP from GenCon I could've gotten both. I'm not complaining, I can live with it, but just wanted to mention it.

Cant say I'm thrilled about different XP for different classes of player.

Personally it doesn't affect me (just got to 7th this year), but I completely understand anyone around 6th-4th level not liking this. I have always been pro same for everyone, either no xp or xp for all. But as I said I don't feel I have a dog in this fight.

I know you are not asking me this but it sure looks like you are.

It is because you posted the text of the announcement and I was quoting the relevant portion to provide context.

If you had waited and let Jeff posted it, then I would have been quoting him and it would have looked like I would be asking him those questions.

As stated in the newsletter, the xp decision is a compromise. I know compromises are supposed to be win-win, but generally they do still leave some people feeling disappointed.

Personally, I'm fine with it.

Feels like a fair compromise to me - thank you, Jeff!
