Welcome! We have such a wonderful world to share with you. CoR is a Fantasy Arcanepunk LARP, short for Live Action Role Playing Game, that is based in New Jersey. Our players create characters, dress like those characters, and then become those characters at our three-day weekend events. LARPing is a great activity for all ages and walks of life, so grab your swords and your foam dart guns, and come join the fun! What role will you take? What challenges will you face? What riches will be your reward?

Welcome friends, both old and new, to Rowanon. Sit by our fire and hear our tales. Take with you what you will and know that you will always leave a part of yourself with us.

​Game Setting

Chronicles of Rowanon is a Fantasy Arcanepunk genre game. The world of Rowanon is home to a diverse mesh of steam-aether technology and high magic fantasy. There are elves and engineers. There are steamships and swordplay. There and gunfights and gorks! What is a gork, you ask? Explore and find out! Our lore book, rules guide, and items compendium can be found here.


 Rowanon is an amazing and enveloping world with many different cultures, people, and skill sets. There are quite a few gods meddling in the affairs of mortals. Races of all different types call Rowanon home. Kingdoms sway between diplomacy and war. Threats, both small and astronomical, must be met by the heroes of the world.


Our game takes place in the kingdom of Vorydia, the jewel of northern Rowanon. It is said that Vorydia is the center of the world. Fame, glory, riches, and prestige can all be found there. However, there are many dangers. The hallowed bastion of Vorydia attracts the attention of many enemies. Lethal denizens and sinister plots are as numerous as opportunities in Vorydia. All heroes are welcome and will have their mettle tested in earnest. The fate of Vorydia is in your hands.


The current in-game year is 508 A.S. (After Sunder).
