Patron Exclusive Virtual True Dungeon – Cravenmoor: Scarlet Moon Masquerade

April 25^th, 2026

 

Virtual TD events are run with a combination of remote volunteers and on-site volunteers at our workshop and office in Carbondale, Illinois. Please consider carefully whether or not you are willing to travel to Carbondale and indicate this preference in your application.

 

Approximate event start times for Scarlet Moon Masquerade are listed below. Each individual volunteer’s schedule will depend on the position for which they are selected. For example, an NPC in Room 2 will have an earlier start time than someone in an Epilogue role.

Saturday, April 25^th – 12:00pm to 5:30pm Dungeon (Central) Time

 

As this is a special event, there is only one level of commitment available to Volunteers.

 

All Volunteers for Scarlet Moon Masquerade are expected to work the full event on Saturday, April 25^th.

 

This exclusive event has much smaller volunteer needs than our usual VTD offerings. We only need 5 VDMs, 2 Coaches, an Innkeeper, and an Epilogue person. The one NPC we will be using has been pre-arranged, and our Golems will be TD HQ staff. If we have need for Golems beyond staff, we will be reaching out personally rather than looking through applications to fill the role(s). Please refer to this table for requirements by role:

ROLE	LOCATION	PLAYTEST	TECH CHECK
Virtual DM	Remote	Required	Required
NPC	On-Site	Required	n/a
Player Coach, Innkeeper, Epilogue	Remote	Optional	n/a
Golem, Bluehand	On-Site	Optional	n/a

 

The Adventure Playtest typically takes place about ten days before the event, but the date is variable. Our preliminary date is Monday, March 30, 2026. Exact playtest details will be communicated to volunteers via email from volunteer@truedungeon.com closer to that date.

The DM Tech Check takes place the morning of the event (Saturday, April 25^th, 2026) at 10:30am Dungeon (Central) Time.

Upon successful completion of their scheduled shifts, Full Time volunteers will receive the following benefits:

• Stipend – Payable via check, Venmo, or a Funds Credit towards a future online token order. Stipends vary by role. For this event Full Time stipends are:
  • Virtual DM - $75 per run completed. Most VDMs will complete two runs. It is possible one or two may complete 3 runs if we need to add additional time slots for patrons.
  • NPC - $150 on site local
  • Player Coach, Innkeeper, Epilogue, Bluehand - $100
• Volunteer Exclusive Ultra-Rare token (Ioun Stone of the Champion) OR 2x Volunteer Exclusive Rare tokens (Ioun Stone of the Hero)
• Survivor pins from the event
• XP card from the event
• Participation token from the event
• 40 random treasure draws

 

Because of its limited nature, this event DOES NOT count towards the multi-event volunteer bonus.

Gen Con, known as “the best four days in gaming,” is an annual gaming convention that takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana.

MULTI-EVENT VOLUNTEERING PICK-YOUR-PURPLE BONUS

Volunteers who work multiple events are eligible for a bonus Ultra Rare token of their choice from the 2025 and 2026 Standard Pack Ultra Rare tokens. In order to earn this PYP, volunteers must successfully complete either 3 events as a Full Time volunteer, 9 total Part Time event shifts, or some combination of the two.

Here are three examples of volunteers earning their PYP:

• Joe T. Vol works as a Full Time Combat DM for Ring Con, a Full Time Player Coach at Gen Con, and a Full Time Combat DM at Gamehole Con. After Gamehole Con he picks a Charm of Fickle Fate as his bonus token.
• Anna May Vol is unable to work Full Time around her other responsibilities. So, she works 1 shift for the January VTD, 2 shifts for the February VTD, 2 shifts for the March VTD, 2 shifts during Gen Con, and 2 shifts during Gamehole Con. After Gamehole Con she chooses to add a Bead of Greed to her collection.

After Gamehole Con they ask for a Belt of the Hunter for their Ranger build.

 

GEN CON BADGE REGISTRATION NOTES

Every year we are flooded with emails asking about badges from the moment that volunteers are first accepted for Gen Con. In an attempt to reduce the questions, we have elected to include badge information here so volunteers know what to expect before they apply.

Gen Con scheduling can be a bit of a moving target. As such, we wait as long as we can before starting to order badges to reduce the number of changes that have to be made as people drop out or shift commitment options. Our first bulk badge order will be made on Friday, May 8, 2026. We will only be ordering badges for eligible volunteers whose schedules are CONFIRMED in tdvols.com and whose volunteer waivers are SIGNED.

Gen Con event registration begins at 12:00pm EST on Sunday, May 17, 2026. In order to guarantee that we will have your badge ordered and in your Gen Con account by that time you will need to confirm your schedule by no later than 8:00pm EST on Friday, May 15, 2026. This is to give us enough time to order your badge and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Failure to confirm your schedule before this deadline means you may not get your badge until after event registration opens.

After our initial bulk badge order on Friday, May 8, we will do additional bulk badge orders throughout the week that follows to catch everyone who gets their schedule confirmed and their waiver signed by the May 15th deadline.  

If you do not need a TD-provided badge, please let us know before May 8^th so we do not order you an additional badge.

If you have a badge that needs to be refunded/replaced with a TD-provided badge, please reach out to us at volunteer@truedungeon.com so we can work with you to resolve the issue.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Gen Con is our largest event of the year. We need as many volunteers as possible in order to make this work, but we need volunteers who are committed to creating an awesome event for our players. Even easy roles in True Dungeon require hard work. If you are looking for a way to get into Gen Con for free with minimal effort, True Dungeon is not the volunteer opportunity for you.
