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.

2026 marks AmberCon Northwest's thirtieth 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
