The game site for Emerald Chronicles is located in Red Square in the heart of the University of Washington's campus. In the warm months the game is held outdoors, with the picturesque neo-Gothic architecture of the square as a fitting backdrop to the tales of blood and greed in the city of emerald dream. Click here for Directions.

During the winter, the heated interior of the Wallingford Boys & Girls Club serves as our stage for the interim. EC has been around in one incarnation or another since the early 90's and has hosted many different storytellers and a variety of colorful characters... and those are just the players. Needless to say, with that kind of long history (both the good and the bad) we tend to have a lot of dedicated players with a strong sense of community who really take the quality of the game to heart!

If you are interested in joining a LARP and have never played in a live action forum, or if you are an experienced LARPer, there is something for you to enjoy. The game has a long history of accepting all comers and has for many years been a fun and cheap entertainment resource for young adults in the U-district community. If you'd like to get a feel for the game before trying it out, a good place to go would be the Message Boards where you can read in-character stories and interact with the ECC LARP community in an out of game capacity, ask questions, etc.

If you have questions about the game or would like assistance with character creation, come find us at game or contact the storyteller via email in the Storyteller section. There's also a lot of good information here on this site, certainly enough to get you a solid start.

We'd be happy to help with any questions you have.
