RTV D20 Badge (DEF CON 34)

Planned $80 Red Team Village badge with an on-site sale statement

Red Team Village's own public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response lists a new badge named RTV D20, says it will be available on site at DEF CON through the village, and gives an $80 price. The Village's official events page places Red Team Village at the Las Vegas Convention Center on August 6-9, 2026. These primary event and self-submission sources are sufficient to seed a planned village-associated artifact, but they do not identify whether the badge is electronic or non-electronic, its physical design, any components, functions, firmware, game, CTF role, quantity, final sale outcome, registration relationship, or reusable-image rights.

source-named RTV D20 public roster submitter and DEF CON 34 village publisher

Red Team Village

Red Team Village is named in the public Badgelife response for RTV D20 and publishes the cited DEF CON 34 event page. This credit records public submitter/village context only, not individual design, manufacture, final sale, DEF CON organizer authority, or image-reuse permission.

Why It Mattered

RTV D20 is a useful current-coverage boundary case: the source directly establishes a named, priced, on-site planned badge before the conference, yet offers no artifact-level technical detail. The record preserves that real public announcement rather than filling the gap with imagined electronics, a D20 game mechanic, CTF functionality, or official credential status.

Hardware

No reviewed source describes RTV D20's material form, whether it contains electronics, its PCB, controller, LEDs, display, buttons, radio, sensors, battery, charging/power path, connectors, dimensions, materials, enclosure, artwork, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, assembly, test results, safety guidance, or compliance. The public roster classifies it only as a Badge. This dossier therefore does not classify it as an electronic badge, physical credential, board badge, or any particular hardware type.

Software & Apps

No reviewed source identifies onboard software, firmware, a repository, binary, application, web service, CTF challenge, game rules, interaction model, update/recovery path, source license, security model, user-data handling, accessibility information, or support policy. The Red Team Village page describes the Village's broader DEF CON 34 workshops, activities, swag, and CTF context, but it does not say RTV D20 implements or grants access to any of them.

Lore

The only public artifact name recovered is RTV D20. Red Team Village's official event page says it will be at DEF CON 34 in the Las Vegas Convention Center Red Team Village area with workshops, activities, swag, and more, while its public Badgelife response says the planned badge will be sold on site. Those contextual statements do not define D20's theme, physical form, intended use, attendee allocation, linkage to Village activities, or authority to access DEF CON or the Village.

Red Team Village DEF CON 34 event context

Red Team Village's official page places the Village at DEF CON 34 on August 6-9 in the Las Vegas Convention Center Red Team Village area and announces workshops, activities, swag, and more. It does not state that RTV D20 is included with registration, used in a workshop/CTF, issued to all attendees, or grants access to any Village or conference space.

Issues & Camp Impact

Red Team Village association and credential boundary note

Red Team Village's official page confirms its DEF CON 34 presence and its public roster row announces an on-site RTV D20 sale, but neither source says the badge is issued by DEF CON, included with registration, required for the Village, grants entry, replaces a Human badge, or has a defined official access role.

The catalogue preserves the source-backed Village association without portraying RTV D20 as an official DEF CON credential, admission badge, universal attendee handout, or verified access token.

artifact form, hardware, power, and safety documentation gap note

The reviewed sources call RTV D20 a Badge but do not identify whether it is electronic, a PCB, a physical credential, a token, a kit, or another identity artifact. They provide no components, board, power/battery/charging path, radio, display, inputs, connectors, dimensions, materials, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, assembly, test data, safety guidance, or compliance evidence.

The catalogue models a real planned named artifact without inventing its physical or electronic form, operating characteristics, safety profile, or engineering completeness.

firmware, CTF, gameplay, source, and licensing gap note

No reviewed source says RTV D20 has firmware, software, a repository, binary, website, CTF challenge, game mechanic, D20 interaction, workshop use, update/recovery path, source code, license, security review, user-data behavior, or accessibility information. The Village's broader CTF/program descriptions are not attributed to this badge.

Readers are not led to assume that the D20 name denotes an electronic game, an access pass, a CTF device, or any documented implementation.

missing rights-cleared image note

No RTV D20 Badge image is published because the reviewed Red Team Village event page and public Badgelife roster do not pair a selected factual artifact image with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing notes.

The planned 2026 record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying village media, roster-linked social material, screenshots, placeholders, or generated imagery.

planned badge, price, stock, and on-site fulfillment boundary note

The public roster says RTV D20 is new, will be sold on site through Red Team Village, and costs $80, while the event page places the Village at DEF CON 34 later that week. Sources do not establish final price, inventory, production completion, payment, location/time, event authorization, pickup, shipment, recipients, refund, replacement, support, or completed sale.

The record preserves a concrete pre-event acquisition statement without treating it as a finished distribution, retail outcome, or attendee entitlement.
