Welcome!

AmberCon Northwest is a fully scheduled, diceless and indie role-playing convention held annually in Troutdale, Oregon, just east of Portland. ACNW was originally inspired by Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber and Erick Wujcik's Amber Diceless Role-Playing, but most games do not require knowledge of Zelazny's Amber novels or the Amber DRP.

2025 marks AmberCon Northwest's twenty-ninth year, returning to the venue that makes it unique, McMenamins Edgefield Bed and Breakfast Resort.

Use this site to learn how an AmberCon works; explore the venue; register for the convention; submit game events to the organizers; sign up for games when the event book is published; and check out the event books from past AmberCon Northwests.

AmberCon NW announcements and informal chats also appear on our Facebook group page
