Events Preview Video for 2026

2026 is going to be an amazing year for True Dungeon fun!  All our our 2026 adventures are linked together in a grand year-long story-arc that takes place in a cursed vale where monsters rule the night.

NOTE:  These proposed events are our "best guess" right now on what events we will present in 2026.  Final decisions will be made once we have considered all relevant factors and see how many volunteers we are able to recruit.

Note:  We are no longer attending Origins 2026 (but hope to be back in 2027).  We have reduced our plans for Gamehole Con in October. We will now only be presenting a 7-room dungeon and True Grind. We will no longer be presenting a 4-room adventure.

Ring Con FAQ

A building with a sign

Transmuting & Treasure

  • Will there be transmuting at Ring Con?
    Yes. See the schedule sections above for details.
  • When I send in my 4 fragments for the MoE, is it sent back to me or do I pick it up at Ring Con?
    You pick it up at Ring Con. If you can’t make it to Ring Con, it will be shipped AFTER Ring Con.
  • Can the Mark of Enlightenment or Ring of the Sacred Circle be transmuted after March 15th?
    For the Ring, you’ll have the normal two years to create the Ring of the Sacred Circle. However, for the Mark of Enlightenment, you’ll only have until the end of 2026. There will be a second batch of custom tokens made at that time. We will continue to post updates on relevant deadlines.
  • Can we transmute for the Ring at Ring Con?
    No, you’ll need the Ring in advance to participate in Ring Con.
  • What restrictions will there be on the “Crafted by:”?
    Requests should be accepted as long as it’s not something too bad. Whatever you want to say, but we do reserve the right to request edits.
  • Are the Ring of the Sacred Circle tokens picked up at Ring Con?
    No. They are not customized and will be sent back as normal in the transmute process.
  • What is the maximum number of Rings that could be made?
    Several hundred, based on the number of 8K orders and the fact they were also available in treasure that number is likely at least 700-800.
  • Are there any restrictions for redeeming treasure chips at Ring Con?
    Yes. Because we anticipate a larger than average number of treasure chip redemptions at Ring Con, we will be restricting their usage to save time and ease processing labor requirements. Treasure chip redemptions are subject to the following:
    • Treasure chips may only be redeemed in the Transmute Room. They CANNOT be redeemed in Epilogue or the Store.
    • Treasure chips can only be redeemed for a standard mix of treasure, NOT the Ring Con treasure mix that will be used in Epilogue. This mix will be available for single pulls from a treasure generator and in pre-wrapped 20-packs.

 

Registering

  • Will True Grind at Ring Con also be limited to one ticket per person?
    At first, yes. If anything is left over, it will be opened up.
  • If you have a single Ring, will its code allow you to play all three of these adventures?
    • The Sacred Circle (Requires transmuted RoSC CODE).
    • Fang and Fury (Requires transmuted RoSC CODE)
    • True Grind: Cracks of Doom (Requires transmuted RoSC CODE)

Yes…provided there are tickets available.  Note that your one code will only get you one ticket per event.

  • I always do all the coordination and tokens for my entire group. Will I be able to transmute all 10 tokens for our group, and use those codes for those 10 Rings to buy a complete run for my group? Or will each person in my group have to create an account and redeem a Ring code? I hope I'm able to do it all myself, maybe that would work if I provide the names of all 10 members in my group?
    Every person that wants to buy an event ticket for Ring Con must make an account at td.events in order to utilize a code to buy a ticket.We need their real name so we can check ID at the start of the event.We are sorry for the inconvenience, but that is the limitation of our software.
  • Are people allowed to "ghost" any tickets at Ring-Con? 
    No, because tickets are limited at Ring Con “Ghosting” will not be allowed.
  • Is there any way to allow players to ban together to get slots together?
    Check the TD Forums for a post made by Fans of True Dungeon who maintain a Google form that helps organized who wants certain ticket times.
  • Are there “family friendly” slots?
    Yes. They are all on Saturday. These slots marked as “Family Friendly” have tickets that should only be bought by an adult who is bringing along one or more children under 13 years of age. The 10:00am slot of Fang & Fury, the 2:00pm slot of The Sacred Circle, and the 7:00pm slot of The Sacred Path will be marked as Family Friendly. Additional slots may be designated as such depending on demand.
  • For The Sacred Circle run, will players sign up for our classes prior to the event?
    Yes, using the same process as is done for VTD events.
  • Are Ring Con volunteers getting a chance to play Fang & Fury? Or any other dungeons?
    This is handled on a case-by-case basis. However, all volunteers receive dungeon swag.

 

General

  • Is there any benefit to having more than one of a specific Silver Ship Passage token?
    Each token will give you a try at the challenge. If there is a line, you’ll need to go to the end of the line after each attempt.
  • Are the Silver Ship Passage challenges single player or group events?
    Single player.
  • Will there be any more Silver Ship Passage tokens in 2026?
    Maybe.
  • Will any tours of TD HQ be offered near the Ring Con dates?
    Unfortunately, due to staffing needs we are unable to offer tours of TD HQ during Ring Con.
  • Do all Ring Con adventures come with a 10 pack of tokens, and will all of them allow use of Treasure Enhancing tokens for additional treasure pulls?
    All three dungeon adventures will come with a 10-pack of tokens (from earlier years due to the tariff situation).  All ticketed events at Ring Con have a flat Treasure amount. No TEs will be needed!

  • Is Fang & Fury a 10-pack token run? What level of difficulty can we play it at?
    Fang & Fury will be 10-pack only. Thus, you can only run it at Normal or Hardcore difficulty.
