Three Great Adventures
Tomb of Terror - 20th Anniversary Adventure - To celebrate TD's 20th anniversary, we are presenting an enhanced adventure inspired by the old D&D module "The Tomb of Horrors". This special module will feature multiple path choices so you can tailor your adventure to experience more puzzle or combat oriented fun. In addition, the event will boast amazing NPCs to beguile the party, and it will feature larger and more immersive adventure spaces. Come celebrate our 20th anniversary with us!
Darkhold Keep - Having received rave reviews at GHC in October, we are very excited to bring this haunted house themed adventure to Gen Con. The module features many immersive spaces set in a Victorian manor where various monsters of the macabre await. Your party is tasked with cleansing the Keep of a vengeful spirit, and only by working together can you see this ghost put to rest.

True Dungeon Con-Quest: "Barb Beard's Treasure" - All the quality fun and adventure of a 7-room dungeon but presented in a 4-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. Tickets are $58. MORE DETAILS HERE.
This Con-Quest adventure tells the story what happened after the defeat of the dread pirate Barb Beard, and it tasks the party with recovering his hidden treasure.
NOTE: Due to increased volunteer stipends, higher volunteer hotel costs and many other increased expenses, the admission fee for Tomb of Terror - 20th Anniversary Adventure is $108, while Darkhold Keep is $98. This price includes TWO 10-packs of Treasure Tokens (normally just one is given), a limited-edition Participation token, and at least three draws from a Random Treasure Generator.
We plan to bring the "Curse of Crimson Isle" adventure next year to Gen Con 2024, but we cannot guarantee this will happen. This adventure will be offered in 2023 at MomoCon and Gamehole Con.

2023 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 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 receive Experience Points (XP) for playing TD adventures and gain various benefits for achieving higher levels. Some TD veterans are now 10th 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.) Note that when there are two versions of the same adventure (puzzle or combat), each adventure is considered the same adventure for XP purposes because they are so similar. For veteran players, the highest XP available for Gen Con Indy 2023 is 4,000 XP. To earn all that, the player would need to make it to the final room of both unique adventures on Hardcore, Nightmare, or Epic difficulty.
Transmuting
To save time and hassle with converting your tokens, we offer a location where you can exchange for 2022 and 2023 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.
We are not able to convert standard tokens into Trade items or Reserve bars at Gen Con.
The Transmuting Room is open during these hours:
- Thursday:
- 8:00 am to Noon
- 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm
- Friday:
- 10:00 am to 1:00 pm
- 3:30 pm to 8:00 pm
- Saturday:

Participation Tokens
As stated earlier, players earn a cool, limited edition participation token just for playing a TD adventure. There are two unique tokens available at Gen Con 2023; 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 will receive a participation token, but no Survival button can be earned.
