Four Great Adventures

Temple of the Dune Viper - To deliver the finest event possible, we are presenting this deluxe, brand new adventure. This special module features two multiple path choices so you can tailor your adventure to experience more puzzle or combat oriented fun. Join us and see for yourself all the amazing NPCs, impressive sets, and immersive encounter spaces!

The cost of the ticket includes TWO free 10-packs of 2024 Treasure Tokens ($20 value), three draws from our random Treasure Generators (with a chance to draw an uber-rare token), a limited-edition collectible Participation Token, Experience Points for your account, and a special limited-edition "event only" Survivor button -- if your character makes it to the last room alive. Due to a big rise in costs for volunteer stipends (up to $500), hotel costs and many other expenses, the price of our deluxe multi-path adventure is $118 per ticket.

Tomb of Terror Redux - Last year's deluxe multi-path Tomb of Terror adventure was a massive hit, but many players could not get tickets. So, we are bringing it back in an amazing way. We took the six best rooms from last year's adventure, and we added a brand new cool puzzle room that will be a big hit with players. The cost of the ticket includes TWO free 10-packs of 2024 Treasure Tokens ($20 value), three draws from our random Treasure Generators (with a chance to draw an uber-rare token), a limited-edition collectible Participation Token, Experience Points for your account, and a special limited-edition "event only" Survivor button -- if your character makes it to the last room alive. Due to a big rise in costs for volunteer stipends (up to $500), hotel costs and many other expenses, the price of this adventure is $108 per ticket.

Important Note

To help give new players the best chance at a great TD adventure, we have designated this adventure as a "sealed-pack" adventure. You may only equip the tokens you get in your TWO free ten-packs, and you may only play it on the Normal or Hardcore challenge rating. All players get three random draws from our Treasure Generator box. Even though you may not equip a treasure-enhancer, if your player level is 6 or higher and you show your Signet of Nobility (or higher player level reward) to your coach, you'll earn one extra treasure draw at the end of this adventure. Players of 9th-level or higher who show their Badge of Nobility (or higher player level reward) gain +1 to AC. This is a great adventure for all players, but newer gamers can enjoy the more simplified token format. This is your last chance to enter the Tomb of Terror. See you there!
Note: For the purpose of earning player XP, Tomb of Terror Redux is considered the same adventure as Tomb of Terror. Therefore, unless you survive further into the dungeon than you did on all previous plays, you won't earn any additional XP by playing Tomb of Terror Redux.

Curse of Crimson Isle - This thrilling pirate-themed adventure takes place after the events of last year's adventure "Ebony Bay." This adventure has been presented and honed at MomoCon and Gamehole Con to rave reviews. We have further improved it by swapping in a brand new puzzle room that is a blast to play. Come have some pirate-themed fun! You will enjoy some highly immersive sets, some wonderful NPCs and some fearsome monsters. Your party must find the final resting place of One-Boot Billy to end his ghostly plundering of the King's Sea. Any tokens may be used, and any difficulty rating is allowed.

True Dungeon Con-Quest: "The Golden Obelisk" - All the quality, fun and adventure of a seven-room dungeon but presented in a four-room sealed-pack format. It features the same high-quality sets, props, effects, and costumed performers as our standard adventures but in a shorter time frame and at a more budget-friendly price. MORE DETAILS HERE.

This Con-Quest adventure, set in the deserts of Chaldea, challenges our brave adventures to unlock the mysteries of the Golden Obelisk. This ancient relic is said to grant knowledge that would otherwise be unknowable to mortals. This information is vital to locating an evil artifact known as the Flame of Hate (which you find in Temple of the Dune Viper).

This is a sealed-pack adventure, so equipping your character with your 10 random Treasure Tokens will be a fun and easy experience. You may only play it on the Normal or Hardcore challenge rating. Even though you may not equip a treasure-enhancer, if you're a 6th-level player and you show your Signet of Nobility (or higher player-level reward) to your coach, you'll earn one extra treasure draw at the end of this adventure. Players of 9th level or higher will also gain their level benefit of +1 to AC.

The cost of the ticket includes one free 10-pack of 2024 Treasure Tokens ($10 value), three draws from our random Treasure Generators (with a chance to draw an uber-rare token), a limited-edition collectible Participation Token, Experience Points for your account, and a special limited-edition "event only" Survivor button -- if your character makes it to the last room alive. The cost of this shorter, but full-quality adventure is $68.

2024 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/room reached.

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/room reached.

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/room reached.

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/room reached.

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 Curse of Crimson Isle, Tomb of Terror, or The Golden Obelisk at a previous event, the XP you get for playing that adventure at Gen Con won't stack with it.

Transmuting
To save time and hassle with creating your transmuted tokens, we offer a location where you can create 2023 and 2024 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, please use this 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.

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

At Gen Con 2024, the Transmuting Room is open 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 is not available on Sunday.

For Gen Con 2024 only, you may construct any Safehold X token that has already been released. In other words, in addition to the current blue and orange Transmutes, you'll be able to transmute the following:

Please Note: Safehold III is not on that list. You cannot make a Safehold III at Gen Con 2024 because Safehold III is not available until October 2024.

Participation Tokens
As stated earlier, players earn a cool, limited edition participation token just for playing a TD adventure. There are four unique tokens available at Gen Con 2024; one for each adventure, regardless of level of difficulty. There are also unique Survival buttons available; one for Normal/Hardcore and another for Nightmare/Epic. Anyone playing on the "Non-Lethal" setting receives a participation token, but no Survival button can be earned.
