2011 Event Details
True Adventures, Ltd. is proud to offer the following two completely new two-hour adventures.
"The Lair of the Sea-Lich" : This completely new underwater adventure takes place after the party has fled the lair of Smoak the newly-created draco-lich. The party must now venture into the underwater lair of the dreaded Sea-Lich who terrorizes the coast with her icy-touch and shape-changing powers. Only inside her watery tomb can the party find the origin of the evil artifact that created Smoak the draco-lich - and perhaps a method to defeat Smoak's evil for good.
NOTE: Two slightly different versions of this adventure will be offered. One is more puzzle-oriented, while the other is more combat-focused. They count as the same adventure for earning Experience Points (XP).
"Dragon's Redoubt" : This completely new dragon-hunt adventure takes place at the same time as last year's battle with Smoak the red dragon. It tells the story of how the party from last year's True Grind adventure battles their way into Smoak's lair on their own important mission. First, to locate and open a secret door through which all other parties can flee; and second, to defeat the weakened red dragon.
We also will be offering this one-hour combat hack-fest:
"True Grind: Bloodbeard's Bounty" : This combat gauntlet tells the story of how the party finds the location of the Lair of the Sea-Lich. Players must set sail for the waters of Brinewater Bay to learn the location of the Lair of the Sea-Lich from the dreaded orc-pirate Bloodbeard. The battle will rage above and below the Bay's black waters. No XP, Treasure Coins or participation tokens awarded for TG. Nightmare available if whole party agrees. You must arrive 15 minutes early.
Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day (and other Guild castmembers) defeat Smoak last year.
You get another try to slay him in 2012 -- but this time with 4th level characters!
"Dragon's Redoubt" is an all-new adventure that takes place during the same time as
last year's big dragon fight. Your group arrives to open a secret door to give everyone
an escape route -- and then you take on Smoak yourselves!
"The Guild" talks "lovingly" about True Dungeon HERE.
Three Levels of Challenge
Due to the response from our players, we are offering our two two-hour adventures at three different challenge levels.
Non-lethal: If all players in the group agree, the players can announce to their Coach that they want to play their adventure on the "non-lethal" challenge rating. This is for people who just want to enjoy the True Dungeon adventure without having to worry about their character dying. Awarded XP for this type of adventure is 650 XP.
Normal: If everyone cannot agree on either non-lethal or NIGHTMARE, the party will just play their two-hour adventure on our normal challenge level -- which can be tricky. Most people play on this level. Awarded XP will be 650 + 50/room reached.
NIGHTMARE: If all players in the group agree, the players can announce to their Coach that they want to play their adventure on the "NIGHTMARE" challenge rating. This is for people who have lots of experience, moxie and/or tokens. There are also special slots set aside for NIGHTMARE level, and tickets purchased in these slots must be played at NIGHTMARE Level. Awarded XP for this type of adventure is 1650 + 50/room reached.
Ten Players Per Group
Due to the calls from our players for more tickets and more chances for them to play with more of their friends, we are increasing the size of adventure groups from eight to ten players. We are making the rooms larger, and the puzzles more spread out and interactive -- and we are giving people another 12 minutes of prep time in the Coaching area. This increase in party size was the best way to make more tickets available, and enabled us to drop the ticket price from $40 to $38.
Two New Characters!
We have added a Dwarf Fighter and Elf Wizard to the list of available character classes. They should be a fun alternative to the classic Fighter and Wizard class.
New Full-Color Character Sheets!
New for this year will be cool full-color character sheets that you get to keep at the end of your adventure. We will even stamp your card with either "Survivor" or "Victim" after the event to give you a nice keepsake. The character sheets can also be stamped "Non-Lethal", "NIGHTMARE" or no stamp for "Normal" Mode. Above you can see the two new character cards for the Wizard. Most players will play the 4th level Wizard on the left, but big supporters of TD (token collectors) who possess three Ultra Rare "Might" tokens, gain a level for their character. More info about the "Trio of Might" can be found HERE.
Saturday Night Time Slots
Again, due to the feedback of our players and the availability of great volunteers, we are going to offer tickets on Saturday night until midnight. This will make TD tickets available for our players during the most popular time frame.
Experience Points Earned
Players receive Experience Points for playing TD adventures, and they gain various benefits for achieving higher levels. Some old TD veterans are now 7th level. The amount of the XP earned is based on the challenge rating of the adventure as well as how many rooms your character makes it to alive (but not survive!).
Non-lethal = 650 XP
Normal = 650 XP + 50 XP/room
Nightmare = 1650 XP + 50 XP/room
If a player plays an adventure more than once at Gen Con Indy, they receive the highest XP earned in all runs of that particular adventure. So someone playing an adventure twice at both the Normal and Nightmare level will receive only the XP awarded for the Nightmare adventure. Note that the two versions of “The Lair of the Sea-Lich” are considered the same adventure because they are similar. The highest XP available for Gen Con Indy 2011 is 4,000 XP – if a player makes it to the final room of two different adventures on the Nightmare setting.
Participation Tokens
Players earn a cool limited edition participation token just for playing a TD adventure. There are four unique tokens available at Gen Con Indy. The two versions of “The Lair of the Sea-Lich” have the same participation token, and the Nightmare version of this module has its own special participation token. Similarly, the other adventure “Dragon’s Redoubt” also has a Normal and Nightmare participation token. Anyone playing on the "Non-lethal" setting will receive the Normal participation token.
True Dungeon 101
This is a great seminar for new TD players presented by a group of great veteran TD players.

Yet Another Golden Ticket is Found!
Another Golden Ticket was found this week, so they are going fast! We randomly inserted 24 special Golden Ticket tokens into the 2011 token collection. Instead of a Common token, you get one of these uber-cool tokens in your 10-pack. The bearer of this special token should present it outside Ballroom 10 at 6:30pm on Thursday, August 4th. There will be a special free dinner immediately following, and then the special adventure will start at 8:00pm. You will also get a host of extra goodies which include a completely awesome pack of uber-rare and powerful tokens and an exclusive GT-only surprise inside your True Dungeon adventure.
