Walker’s Bluff Winery

Carterville, Illinois

Friday & Saturday June 17th – 18th, 2022

REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED!

Did you register for Skull Con -- but now cannot make it?

We have had a few registered Skull Con attendees contact us with the unfortunate news that they cannot now attend Skull Con.  For all registered attendees who cannot make it to Skull Con, we will ship their Skull Con swag to them after the event.

Additional Info Post May 12th

Due to the incredible response, we have over 350 excited True Dungeon players attending Skull Con.  It will be amazing to get so many cool folks together in one place to geek out about True Dungeon.  We cannot wait to see everyone!  We will be presenting a full seven-room adventure for all Skull Con attendees (while also providing another adventure for Patrons), but we are asking attendees to bring some of their favorite games to enjoy with others between events.

Walker’s Bluff is a nice venue that will be offering a full bar and a limited menu of tasty food.  It should be a great place to enjoy a day of gaming with TD friends.  We will be utilizing two buildings for the event. See map below for where to head for your fun.

There will be opportunities to transmute Treasure Tokens at True Dungeon HQ on Thursday (6/16) and early Friday (6/17), and then transmuting will shift to Walker’s Bluff starting at 5:00pm on Friday.  We encourage everyone to arrive near opening time.  You can then game and hang out all day, enjoy your dungeon adventure – and stick around to celebrate your adventure.  This will be a rare chance for us all to enjoy our TD Community outside of a normal busy game convention.  The Tasting Room interior is shown below.

---------------------------------

TRANSMUTING:  Please use THIS FORM to ready your transmute order before arriving.  Note:  You can redeem Pirate Treasure Map tokens at Skull Con, and Treasure Chips you have -- as well as transmute both Dragon Orbs!

TREASURE:  All players (regardless of level) for the Skull Con run (and the Patron run) will receive a flat 25 random treasure draws at the end of the event.  No treasure enhancers are needed! 

ROAD CONSTRUCTION:  There may be a slight detour to the event if you are coming from the Carbondale area.  There is working happening now on Reed Station Rd.  Watch for road signs.

Attendees of Skull Con must be FULLY VACCINATED* against COVID19.  Proof of vaccination will be required to attend Skull Con.  We respect everyone’s right to choose what is best for them.  Please respect our right to choose the level of safety we wish for our families, employees, volunteers, and guests.  If you have a valid medical exemption from vaccination, you will be permitted to attend by providing a letter from your physician.  Letters must be from your family physician or primary care provider.  Letters from chiropractors or other non-pcp’s will not be accepted.  To define “fully vaccinated” we will follow the CDC’s guidelines, as listed at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html?s_cid=11747:what%20does%20fully%20vaccinated%20mean:sem.ga:p:RG:GM:gen:PTN:FY22. 

Currently "fully vaccinated" does not include a booster.  Everyone is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series (such as Pfizer or Moderna), or two weeks after the single-dose J&J vaccine.  Fully vaccinated is not the same as having the best protection.  People are best protected when they stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations, which includes getting the booster(s) when eligible.

Proof of vaccination or valid medical exemption will be requested via email of all registered participants after the April 1 registration deadline. 

If you wish to attend, you have until April 1^st, 2022 to complete the Skull Con Registration Google Form HERE.

IMPORTANT: You MUST present the actual Skull of Cavadar token(s) for validation when you arrive at the event. It will be validated via its unique number as well as with its unique embedded RFID chip. Failure to bring it to the event will result in you NOT BEING ADMITTED TO SKULL CON.

Redeeming Two Skulls to Play the Dungeon Twice: We know there are folks who want to play the adventure more than once, but we ask that Skull Bearers please limit your total runs to a maximum of two. If you really want to play more than once, you must redeem an additional Skull of Cavadar token to make that happen. The badge generated from this Skull redemption must have your name on it (not a friend's or family member's name), and these secondary badges cannot be used by anyone else to gain entrance to the event nor to do anything at Skull Con. The form allows you to redeem more than one Skull token, but be sure to list your name for these additional badges if you want to play the adventure a second time.

Ghosting is not permitted for this special event. (A player may not have more than one ticket/badge per time slot. You can't submit two Skulls, get two badges, and then gain an extra set of Participation tokens for the extra "empty" spot your second badge would have occupied.)

Selling Your Skull Bearer "Rights" to Create a Skull Con Badge: We know folks will want to do this--especially if they can't make the event. It can be done, but there are a few hurdles to make sure no shenanigans are happening. Your Skull of Cavadar token must be physically presented at Skull Con by the person whose name is on the badge (that is trying to be picked up). You must provide this person's name by April 1st via the Google form. Also, that person's badge will have the time of the special two-hour event on the back of it. When this adventure starts, the person must present the badge and their ID (to the Coach) so that we can verify that person/badge/start time all are correct. You will be able to pick the adventure start time before the Skull Con event.

Skull of Cavadar tokens are NOT retained by TD when they are presented for validation. You may keep them for future use at other events.

This event is open to anyone 13 years of age or older, but those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who also has a valid Skull of Cavadar. Every player, regardless of age, must have their own Skull of Cavadar token.

There is a nice, new commuter airport about 10 miles from the event and it has daily service from St. Louis and Nashville. There are three hotels within three miles of the event, and many more a few miles further.

Skull Con Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can Golden Tickets be turned in at Skull con (transmute) so they don’t have to mail them in?
A. They must be mailed in so we can mark them in our system. It sucks, but there is no other good way.

Q. Transmutes at Skull Con…if they drop off Friday at the shop, will they be finished and brought over to the winery?
A. Yes. They can drop off at TD HQ and pick up at the winery.

Q. With that if they drop off a large transmute order Saturday can it just be mailed back to the person?
A. No. All large orders at Skull Con must be turned in by 3:00pm on Saturday so they can be ready to be picked up that night. We will have lots of folks transmuting so we will finish all orders -- so we don't have to ship anything back.

Q. Do patrons need treasure enhancers for patron runs at Skull con…or is that 25 treasure as well.
A. Everyone (Skull Bearers and Patrons) at Skull Con get an even 25 treasure draws after each adventure - with no equipped TE's adding to that amount.

Q.When is the cut off date for mail-in transmutes before Gen Con.
A. They must be postmarked by July 15th, 2022. Generally, you need to have the order to us two weeks before an event.

Q: If I have multiple Skull of Cavadar tokens and want to pre-register my friends, how do I do that?
A: The Goggle form has spaces to enter in multiple names. Please remember that upon check in at Skull Con each of these people need to present their state-issued ID and Skull of Cavadar token. The ID must also be presented at the start of the two-hour adventure.

Q: If we have or are going to obtain multiple Skull of Cavadar tokens, do we have to pre-register all of them at once? For example: Can we pre-register two now and one later so another friend who's not able to commit that far ahead might be able to come if they decide to later? Or I could use that third Skull of Cavadar token myself if there's still room by that time for badges?
A: So long as everything is turned in via the Google form by April 1^st, multiple entries are okay… but not preferred. There is no benefit to submitting early, so please wait until you have all your info gathered.

Q: Will there be other events happening at Skull Con or just the dungeons?
A: There will be other planned activities as well as open gaming. Much depends on how many people sign up to attend. Details will be announced closer to the event.

Q: Do we get XP for playing the Skull Con adventure?
A: No

Q: Do Skull Con attendees get a unique participation token?
A: Yes

Q: Can I use treasure-enhancers on my run?
A: No...you are going to get 25 treasure draws...without having to equip any treasure-enhancing tokens.

Q: Do I need to have the Skull of Cavadar token on me when I get my badge at the event?
A: Most definitely YES! All attendees MUST present their Skull of Cavadar token when they pick up their badge at Skull Con. Each Skull of Cavadar token will be validated via its unique serial number as well as with its embedded RFID chip. Even though you are not required to present your Skull of Cavadar token at other times, we recommend keeping it on your person in case there are questions. Failure to bring your Skull of Cavadar token to the event will result in you NOT BEING ADMITTED TO SKULL CON.

Q: If I want to equip an Ioun Stone Mystic Orb, do I need to show the coach my Skull of Cavadar token to get the additional save bonus?
A: No. All Skull Con characters are assumed to have a Skull of Cavadar equipped.

Q: When we show up at Skull Con and present the Skull of Cavadar tokens to get our badges, if we're getting some badges in other people's names, do they have to physically be there, or can I get the badges for all my companions?
A: Every registrant MUST be physically present and in possession of their Skull of Cavadar token to get their Skull Con badge.

Q: Once we get our Skull Con badge, will we ever have to show our Skull of Cavadar token again or will our badge suffice?
A: You need to show and validate your Skull of Cavadar token at badge pickup. You won't need to show before your run. Even though you may not be required to present your Skull of Cavadar token at other times, we recommend keeping it on your person in case there are questions.

Q: Is TD okay with us selling/leasing/loaning extra Skull Con access?
A: Yes. But bear in mind that you're providing them a badge for the entire weekend and the recipient MUST have a valid Skull of Cavadar token in their possession.

Q: Can I run the adventure more than once?
A: If you have more than one Skull of Cavadar token, you may run the adventure up to a maximum of two times. Each run requires a unique Skull of Cavadar token.

Q: Is ghosting permitted at Skull Con?
A: No. Only real people who are physically present at the event are allowed to participate.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  2026 Patrons gain lots of cool perks in 2026, but they will not gain early access to tickets at Ring Con. Only collectors who have crafted a Mark of Enlightenment prior to January 10th, 2026 -- when tickets go on sale for Ring Con events for MoE transmuters.

Welcome Patron!

Thank you very much for your amazing support of True Dungeon. Lori and I, along with the entire TD Team, greatly appreciate your help in presenting True Dungeon to the world!

Your Patron purchases enables all the exciting things we do, and in 2026 we’re excited to bring you exclusive perks and adventures reserved for Patrons only.

When you purchase your $8k Patron pack you will receive a Patron Code by email. That Patron Code unlocks Two Patron benefits for 2026 at td.events .

1) Exclusive Patron VTD Event:

• Tickets may be transferred to non-Patron users if you wish.

2) Early Access to Event Tickets (at td.events):

• Patrons can purchase tickets two days before the general public for any event HELD in 2026 (except Ring Con, see above) sold through our ticketing website td.events.
• This does NOT include Gen Con tickets as those tickets are sold at the Gen Con website.
• Note: Tickets for January's VTD event go on sale in November of 2025 -- and 2026 Patrons will have access to early buying for this event.

How Digital Patron Codes Work

Two Patron benefits - early ticket access and Patron-exclusive events - are tied to your digital codes at  td.events.

When you order an $8k Patron Pack:

• Within a few days, you’ll receive:
  • 1 Patron Code
  • 4 Adventurers’ Guild Codes
  • Each arrives in a separate email and gives access to events HELD in 2026.

How to use them:

Buying Normal Event Tickets Early:

1. Log in to td.events
2. Enter your code before the close of the event listed in your email.
   • Example: If your email says the code must be used before “VTD January 2026,” you must enter it before that event ends.
3. Once paired, the account unlocks early-buy access for the rest of 2026.

Important: If a code is not entered before the deadline, it expires. This applies even if you don’t plan to play in that event. If you sell or transfer a code, make sure the new owner enters it immediately.

If you have any questions, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Patron Exclusive Events:

Check out this cool third-party Token Collector app that helps token collectors keep track of their TD Token collection. Besides the standard token data, it also allows you to track all of your tokens by back color, as well as see which Adventure Module and Initial Convention the tokens appeared. In addition to what you’ve collected, you can keep track of which tokens you want and which ones are available for trade. And you can see what other people have available for trade too!

ALL 2022 Patrons get to play this exclusive online event (even if you played the in-person Patron event at SkullCon). 

The Virtual Patron Run will take place the night of Friday, Sept. 30th.  It is a tongue-n-cheek adventure called "Grunnel Goes Home".

It will utilize our VTD system, and it should feel much like a standard virtual adventure -- only a bit weirder. 

All Patrons will receive more information in July -- including how to claim your free ticket as a Patron.

Thanks for all your support!

If you draw any of the CURSED tokens, you must equip it/them during your next in-person run. It is possible to suffer the effects of more than one CURSE at the same time. E.g., if you pulled CURSED Fork of Gluttony and CURSED Mirror of Pride, you would be under the effects of both curses. However, if you pull the same CURSED token more than once, the effects of the duplicated CURSE do not stack.

If you received multiple CURSED tokens with the same name, you must equip one during subsequent in-person runs until they are all depleted.

These are, of course, completely optional--they're just a bit of geeky fun. You can negate the effect of one token if you deploy a Scroll of Remove Curse, Censer of Sacrifice, Fey Bread, Potion of Bliss Stout, Potion Moon Veil, or a Scroll of Remove Woe. The tokens used to negate the CURSED token should be discarded.

Once you fulfill or negate the CURSE, you may keep the token as a keepsake. These completely expire at the end of Gamehole Con 2022. No CURSED token may be used in an adventure--in any capacity--after 2022.

We MAY be presenting an adventure at MomoCon in in August of 2025. Stay tuned for more info.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Patron Eligibility for The Sacred Path

To be eligible to play the patron-only The Sacred Path event at Ring Con in 2026, you must transmute and present the completed Mark of Enlightenment token.

This is the complete recipe--no other ingredients are required:

• Path to Enlightenment (Fragment 1) [the 2023 Patron token]
• Path to Enlightenment (Fragment 2) [the 2024 Patron token]
• Path to Enlightenment (Fragment 3) [the 2025 Patron token]
• Path to Enlightenment (Fragment 4) [the 2026 Patron token]

All four of those exact tokens listed above are required in the Mark of Enlightenment  recipe. (e.g., you cannot double up on one fragment and omit another)

Due to printing requirements, the time-window you'll have to transmute a Mark of Enlightenment is going to be significantly shorter than most other transmuted tokens.  More details HERE. 

Ring Con FAQ

Transmuting

• Will there be transmuting at Ring Con?
  Yes, for sure. Details TBA.
• 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 15^th?
  Yes, but you won’t be able to use them to go to Ring Con. 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 Circles picked up at Ring Con?
  No. They are not customized and will be sent back as normal in the transmute process.
• Where the Mark of Enlightenment says “1 of 10 Saint Powers you selected here”, will it literally say the Saint’s name and then the power, or just the power?
  We’ll have to see what fits. We will work it out by March 15^th, 2026 – which is the deadline to transmute a Mark of Enlightenment to receive it at Ring Con.
• The number sequence at the bottom of the MoE, is it sequential? Random? How will it start?
  We will wait until March 15^th and then randomize the assignment of numbers for everyone who transmuted the MoE by that date. Starting number is 01.
• 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.

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? It seems given the limited slots that that should not be allowed. However, what if someone has a code, buys tickets and then is a no show? Can someone potentially be buying the tickets and then just having us pick up his loot.

Since Ring Con tickets are limited, we don’t want to encourage anything that will allow of people to buy an event ticket and then no-show – while still be able to collect swag.“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…and all on Saturday.  These slots marked as “Family Friendly” have tickets that should only be bought be 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.

• With no ticket limit on Fang and Fury, is it possible that some players will buy enough tickets that not all players will be able to play?

We have now instituted a 1 code = 1 ticket rule for Fang & Fury (just like the two 7-room dungeons).If any tickets are unsold by March 15^th, Ring Con tickets will be closed for a few days and then re-opened on March 18^th for another round of 1 code = 1 ticket buying.Details will be announced closer to March 15^th, 2026.

• 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?
  We are looking into this, but at this point nothing has been finalized.  At the very least, they will get the swag for playing in the dungeons.

General

• How early on Friday will Ring Con start?
  Will be updated on the Ring Con page after the show. Friday should start at noon; 9am on Saturday.
• 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?
  Yes.  More info to come.
• 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 adventures will come with a 10-pack of tokens (from earlier years due to the tariff situation).  The Sacred Circle and The Sacred Path allow the full utilization of TEs.  Treasure Enhancers for Fang & Fury are limited to one Ultra Rare TE
• Will TD be offering any Ring Con merchandise?
  TBD
• Is there any specific Silver Ship Passage that has the least number in the wild?
  We suspect they are all pretty close in terms of numbers distributed.
• Is Fang & Fury the only Ring Con adventure that provides XP, or does Sacred Circle and Sacred Path also provide XP?
  The Sacred Circle and Fang & Fury will come with XP and Participation tokens.  The Sacred Path and True Grind will come with Participation tokens.
• Is Fang & Fury a 10-pack token run? What level of difficulty can we play it at?
  As it is at Origins, it will be 10-pack only.  Thus, you can only run it at Normal or Hardcore difficulty and can only use 1 UR Treasure Enhancer.

Click here for the NEW Charm of Avarice recipe option!

As much fun as it is to defeat menacing monsters and solve perplexing puzzles, the feeling you get when looting treasure at the end of an adventure is just plain awesome. Even though all players are now guaranteed to get a minimum of three treasure pulls, adventurers have always sought ways to increase the amount of treasure they can earn from their True Dungeon experience. Back in 2007, we introduced the "fabled" Horn of Plenty that could effectively triple the amount of loot one could score if the party consistently did well. In 2011, Ring of Riches was released, and in 2013 Charm of Good Fortune came out. Ever since, there has been a steady stream of treasure-enhancing tokens printed and enjoyed by players all over the world.

In 2015, the first token to combine multiple treasure enhancers (TEs) into one slot was released: the Charm of Avarice! This amazing item is considered by many to be the most sought-after token in existence. It has the potential to grant an additional 13 tokens, so it's understandable why everyone wants one of their own. But because it was released so many years ago, the items required to craft it have become more and more difficult to acquire. This has led to frustration on the part of some newer players. So, we have created a NEW recipe option for crafting Charm of Avarice with newer tokens.

Players now have a third recipe option to create a Charm of Avarice. The new recipe option consists of the following tokens:

• 10× Alchemist's Ink
• 10× Alchemist's Parchment
• 10× Darkwood Plank
• 10× Dwarven Steel
• 10× Enchanter's Munition
• 10× Minotaur Hide
• 10× Mystic Silk
• 10× Philosopher's Stone
• 10,000 GP in Reserve bars
• 12 points worth of tokens (any combination; duplicates are fine) using the following values:
  • 4 pts: Amulet of Treasure Finding (2015)
  • 1 pt: Bead Bounty (2023)
  • 1 pt: 2025 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
  • 1 pt: 2027 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)

All Charm of Avarice recipes are self-contained and may not be mixed and matched. You can order this and all other currently available Transmuted tokens on the TD Transmute page.
 

But wait, there's more!

Coming in 2027, there's going to be a token that surpasses the mighty Charm of Avarice when it comes to increasing the size of your treasure trove! Its final name has not been determined, but the "Token of Über Avarice" (or whatever it may be called) will grant the person who equips it an extra 20(!) treasure pulls--that's one more than the sum of its parts. And it does so without taking up an equipment slot! The breakdown of those 20 treasure pulls comes from the following:

• 13* from Charm of Avarice
• 2 from Bead of Bounty
• 2 from the 2025 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
• 2 from the 2027 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
• 1 from the token being cool

*Not a variable number. Even though Charm of Avarice is a synergistic token with a variable treasure bonus, Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) always gives the same treasure pull bonus.

To give collectors ample notice for this forthcoming slotless mega-TE, we are releasing parts of the recipe now.  This is not the complete recipe!  For now, only the "big" items are being announced. Expect the final recipe to require an extremely large amount of Trade and Reserve bar tokens. In addition to other items, the Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) is going to require the following tokens:

• Charm of Avarice
• Bead of Bounty
• the 2025 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
• the 2027 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)

Stacking
As you may have assumed, a player may not equip Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) with any of the following:

• Amulet of Treasure Finding
• Bead of Bounty
• Charm of Avarice
• Charm of Good Fortune
• Horn of Plenty
• Ring of Riches
• the 2025 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)
• the 2027 UR Treasure Enhancing Bead (name TBD)

Please Note: Ioun Stone Silver Nugget, Ioun Stone Gold Nugget, and Ioun Stone Platinum Nugget are not on that list. That's because they stack with Token of Über Avarice (name TBD). Thus, starting in 2027 it'll be possible to equip the Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) and the three aforementioned Ioun Stone Nuggets to yield a grand total of 29 total treasure pulls (including the three starting pulls everyone gets) after an adventure. Players 6th level or higher can gain 30 treasure pulls!

Does it Synergize?
Fear not, the Token of Über Avarice (name TBD) contributes toward the synergy bonus for Charm of Good Fortune or Charm of Avarice for fellow party members who have not equipped a Token of Über Avarice (name TBD).
