Volunteer Commitment for Virtual TD
December 6th – 8th (Friday – Sunday)
Location Requirements
While this is a "virtual" event, some volunteers must physically come to Carbondale, IL. This is worked out on a case-by-case basis with each volunteer, but generally speaking all NPC actors need to be physically present at or near the TD Workshop during the event weekend. All Golems must be in Carbondale. We are able to train Virtual DMs remotely, so please consider that as an option if travel is not possible. Please indicate by checking the box on the next page if you are UNABLE to physically come to Carbondale.
Virtual DM Requirements
Due to the "virtual" nature of this event, ALL volunteers applying for DM positions must possess at least intermediate computer skills, have adequate internet, be familiar with the Windows operating system, and provide their own computer systems*, the specifications of which include:
The last page of this application asks for a URL that shares your system specs with us. Please visit http://specr.me and follow the instructions. You will be given a URL that shows us your specs!
*We have a limited number of "loaner" machines. Check the box on the next page if you are interested in DMing but do not have a machine that is up to spec. Note that other requirements like having at least intermediate computer skills and adequate internet still apply.
There are two levels of commitment for Virtual True Dungeon Volunteers, however preference is given to volunteers able to make a Full-Time commitment for ease of scheduling. Part-Time volunteers who have paired up with someone to split a Full-Time position will be given preference over a lone Part-Time volunteer request. If you have paired up with another volunteer to split a Full-Time position, please enter this information in the "Additional Information" field of the application step 3 of 3, before hitting "Submit".
Approximate event start times for VTD 27 are as follows. These are the times that run slots START each day. Each run lasts for approximately two hours, so your scheduled time may run significantly later. Your schedule will depend on the position for which you are selected. NPCs and golems must be available until after the last party has gone through their rooms. The schedule of a VDM is dependent upon their position in the Run of Show. VDMs that wish to be placed earlier/later on the Run of Show should either place a comment in their application OR email volunteer@truedungeon.com ASAP once your application is accepted! All times listed are Central Time (Carbondale local time).
Due to the different type of event, the ONLY positions we need to fill are DMs, 2 Coaches, NPCs, and a few Admin positions (Innkeeper/Epilogue). Please keep this in mind when choosing your volunteer role of choice.
**Full-Time Benefits**
Full-Time volunteers receive the benefits listed below after successfully completing all shifts. Physical items are shipped to remote volunteers after their final Monday shift. In-person volunteers receive their physical items after their final Monday shift.
**Full-Time Commitment**
If you are a Full-Time volunteer, you are required to volunteer during these hours:

All dates and times are subject to change. Any change of date/time for required testing and training will be communicated via e-mail from volunteer@truedungeon.com.
ANYONE interested in volunteering must fill out a volunteer application as soon as possible. We want to begin the scheduling process now, so the earlier you fill out your application, the earlier we can release the schedule. All volunteers MUST fill out all the applicable fields. This information is kept secure and is used to select and schedule all volunteers. While we may be able to accept applications AFTER 11/30/2024, scheduling begins well before that date. Apply before that date to have the best chance at getting the volunteer role you prefer.
Schedules are sent approximately three weeks before the first day of the event from the True Dungeon Volunteer Coordinator to confirm your duties at VTD.
