True Realm Info

The adventures feature life-size monsters and actor NPCs!

True Realm is a 30,000 square feet indoor “theme park” for gamer geeks that is only open for two days a year.  We are NOT presenting a game convention – our event is something much different and much more akin to — as someone said — Disneyland for Gamer Geeks.  We are building a 8,000 square foot tavern and back alley that will provide space for fun and relaxation as well as entrances to the various events.  For instance, the entrance to both of our premium dungeon events will be off of the Courtyard.  Some of the entrances will be themed to the specific event — like a darkened side-door in an alley for the entrance to “True Raid” which is a TD mini-event, or a tower facade for “True Grind”.

Attached to this cityscape space is another 22,000 square feet that will be used for True Dungeon: Director’s Cut and True Dungeon: Retro — with a majority going to TD:DC.  But in addition to these two BIG events that people may wish to play more than once — we also have some ticketed mini-events that you can grab tickets online for when other tickets go on sale.

The Inn is a good place to geek out with friends.

True Realm Mini-Events

True Raid:  This is our first ever TD mini-adventure that is a one-hour, ticketed event where a team of 4 common street thugs must break into a temple and steal a magic chalice guarded by many traps and detection devices.  This event is very light on rules and it is more focused on instant fun of physical challenges and group problem solving.  The event can be enjoyed by total newcomers and TD veterans.  Many of the TD concepts will be introduced in a limited fashion, but no outside tokens are allowed for this event.  Tokens will be provided, and they will represent you weapons, armor and equipment.  Groups who pass the various challenges (think of sneaking by a sleeping Giant or retrieving a giant key trapped in a magical dome) will receive a cool “Rogues’ Guild” button to proudly display.  The cost of the event is $19, and on the second Saturday of sales (Oct. 25th), whole groups of 4 tickets will go on sale.  Individual tickets will then go on sale the next week (Nov. 1st) at the same $19 price.  No XP is awarded for this event…only fun (and a button!).

True Grind:  A party of eight normal TD characters will assault a three-story tower that has a nasty monster on every level — and the party must see if they can reach the top by the end of the 30-minute hack-fest.  This is a true test to see if your group has what it takes to take on True Grind and be victorious.  Again, two cool victory buttons will be awarded for completing this test of melee mettle — one for completing it on normal level and one for NIGHTMARE level.  NOTE: The only magical healing that is allowed are inherent character spells, the Paladin’s healing touch and the +1 Broadsword of Life Stealing.”   No XP is awarded for this event…only a chance to show the world your group has what it takes to take on True Grind and win.  The cost of the event is $10 per person, and on the second Saturday (Oct. 25th) of sales, whole groups of 8 tickets will go on sale along with the 8x $39 tickets for the two big dungeons.  Individual tickets will then go on sale the next week (Nov. 1st) at the same $10 price.

Tickets for more mini-events may become available in the winter as our plans firm up.  We hope to add at least one more ticketed mini-event.

Real monsters make True Realm adventures real fun!

Admission:  Because we have limited space in True Realm, and because there is no charge to enjoy the space, we must restrict access to True Realm to only those who have an event ticket inside True Realm for that day.  So, if you want to enjoy True Realm for both days, be sure and spread your events out between both days — or you won’t be able to enter True Realm on both days.  The event ticket must be presented at the front gate to enter, and it will be marked so it can’t be used again for entry.  We will hand-stamp anyone who wishes to leave and return.

More Ticketing Info

True Dungeon: Director’s Cut - This event is the module we ran at Gen Con Indy 2008 — only improved a great deal with more new rooms, many multiple paths, more intense effects and new surprises.  This is the coolest TD event ever.  Both normal and NIGHTMARE XP is available for this event, but this event equates to the Gen Con Indy 2008 module.  For instance, if you have played the event at Gen Con Indy 2008 at the normal challenge rating, then you can only get more XP (up to 1,350) by doing this event on NIGHTMARE setting.  We do not recommend this event for those under 16 years of age, as this dungeon will have more intense effects, scares and interaction with NPCs.

Aid is available for the pure of heart inside the depths of True Realm.

True Dungeon: Retro - Due to popular request, we have taken the first-ever TD module and we have updated it for your enjoyment at TD Con.  All new sets and props — plus a few new surprises await all players who venture into this module.  This is your chance to play the adventure that started it all.  Only about 300 players had a chance to play in 2003.  Normal and NIGHTMARE XP is available for this event.  It is considered a seperate event from 2003, so XP earned in 2003 won’t effect the XP earned at this event.

Here is a pic of a Tavern with the lights up for photo taking.

AGE LIMIT:  All players MUST be 13 years of age or older to play.  True Adventures, Ltd. reserves the right to deny access to any event to any patron they feel is not of the minimum age.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Starting at 11:55am on Saturday, October 18th, we are only selling whole 8-player slots of VIP tickets.  This sale will end at 11:55am on Friday, October 24th.  After that time, VIP tickets will no longer be available to purchase.  Each “1″ slot you purchase is made up of 8 VIP tickets. You must buy out an entire VIP slot of 8 tickets. With this purchase you are buying an entire group of 8 VIP tickets that make up one whole time slot in the True Dungeon: Director’s Cut OR the True Dungeon: Retro event.  To insure against a big sellout at this high price, we are only putting 40% of the available slots up for sale on Oct. 18th.

The benefits of buying VIP tickets include:

(Each of the 8 VIP team members receive)

(1) EXTRA set of 2009 Treasure Tokens - $10 value
(1) TD:DC Tshirt (up to 3XL) - $20 value
(4) $5 TD Silver coins to be spent at event (store, food, drinks, etc.) - $20 value

The cost for each VIP ticket is $89 – so the entire slot will cost $712.  There is also a $1.25/ticket fee ($9.95 for the whole slot) added on by the Eventbrite website that provides the ticketing service.  In addition to the above benefits, you will be the first to receive special discount links to the official True Realm hotels where you can make reservations for $74/night. The hotels feature free hot breakfast, free evening adult beverages, free high-speed Internet, free parking, pool, etc. These links will be emailed to you immediately after you purchase your tickets.

At 11:55am on Saturday, October 25th, and until 11:55am on Friday, October 31st, we will start selling whole 8-player slots of normal (non-VIP priced) event tickets at the price of $39/ticket — or $312 per slot.  There is also a $0.98/ticket fee ($7.80 for the whole slot) added on by the Eventbrite website that provides the ticketing service.  These whole slots will also include all unsold ticket slots from the previous VIP week — so they will be converted to non-VIP status.  This is $10 off per ticket (normally $49) but we are offering this discount as a way of saying thanks for organizing yourselves into 8-player groups.  Another way to look at it:  Buy 6 — get 2 free! 

Also at this time we will start to sell whole slots of both TD mini-events – True Grind and True Raid.  The True Grind price for a full slot of 8 tickets will be $80, and the True Raid price for a full slot of 4 tickets will be $76.

PAYMENT:  Our ticketing system will accept Paypal, Google Checkout and any credit cards.  The later is processed at the Paypal website, but you don’t need to have a PayPal account to do this.  We just use them to process our credit cards.  We have been doing this with our TD store for a few years and it works great.

NOTE: Approximately two months after your ticket purchase you will receive via USPS registered mail the tickets you purchased in the form of “concert” type tickets. There are no refunds for any tickets, but you are allowed to resell the tickets to other parties. Please be sure to bring your tickets to the event. They are your only proof that you can enjoy the event.  At this time you will also receive vouchers for all your VIP goodies (if you ordered any VIP tickets) that can be turned in at the event.

Refunds and Physical Tickets

You will be sent “concert-type” tickets via registered USPS mail in approximately one month.   There are no refunds of tickets unless the event is canceled for some reason, but you are allowed to re-sell your tickets to whomever you wish if you cannot attend the event.   Be sure to treat your received event ticket like gold.  WE CANNOT REPLACE ANY LOST TICKETS!
