Wil Wheaton wrote about this a few days ago. True Realm, the people behind True Dungeon at Gen Con are putting on a two day extravaganza in southern Illinois in April. The announcement describes the event as:

It is a shared gamer-geek dream that someday there would be a “theme park” just for medieval fantasy gamers – and it is finally here!  Due to the overwhelming response from volunteers and players regarding the “True Dungeon: Director’s Cut” event, we have greatly expanded the scope of the event to create a medieval fantasy cityscape loaded with cool gaming events.  Not only will the “theme park” be DOUBLE the size of the Gen Con Indy True Dungeon event, but there will be TWO unique True Dungeon modules offered as well as many cool TD mini-events.  You can spend two full days completely immersed in “True Realm” while living out your “True Gamer” dreams!  As one volunteer succinctly phrased it:  “It is like Disneyland for gamers!”

True Realm will be housed inside a 40,000 sq. ft. cavernous warehouse, and it will be divided up into the Dungeons and the City.  The Dungeons will take up about 28,000 sq. ft. and it will be the area where all the True Dungeon events are held.  The City will be a 12,000 sq. ft. detailed medieval fantasy cityscape complete with cool, high-quality facades and lighting.

The FAQ is here. Eight player VIP tickets go on sale at 11:55 a.m. on Saturday, October 18. Regular eight player tickets go on sale on October 25. Individual tickets go on sale on November 1.

Oh, if only Herrin was not so far away.
