Recent History. Product Information. Copy Link Tweet This. Legend of the Five Rings. Original electronic Scanned image These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.
The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.
For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high.

In , however, a limited selection of the metal miniatures used to play the game was released by Valiant Enterprises Ltd. In AEG released a board game titled War of Honor , which utilized the same cards as the collectible card game in a simplified game.
Four complete decks were included with the game, making it self-contained, however additional cards can also be included. This is a board game for players in which one player takes the role of a Scorpion Clan ninja attempting to infiltrate a Lion Clan compound, with the other players defending it. Using a deck of 16 cards and taking roughly an hour to play, the game simulates the courtly intrigue surrounding the attempts of several players to court a princess.
In , Fantasy Flight Games released Battle for Rokugan , an L5R-themed area-control strategy board game in which the clans fight to conquer regions on a map of Rokugan. After Legend of the Five Rings was purchased by Fantasy Flight Games, [11] they released a new version of the card game.

Legend of the Five Rings is set primarily in the fictional land of Rokugan also known as the Emerald Empire , based on feudal Japan with influences from other East Asian cultures, where samurai, shugenja, and trained courtiers vie for control of the noble courts.
Rokugan itself is home to mostly humans, divided into a society based on clans, with eight Great Clans and various minor ones, though at the moment they are all in confusion, and are vying for one of their members to be the new Emperor. They are regularly threatened by evil plots from within, but the main threat still lies to the southwest of Rokugan: the deadly wastes of the Shadowlands, where demonic hordes roam. A few foreign visitors from these lands have been featured in Legend of the Five Rings, but have not played a major role in the storyline.
Much is unknown of these lands, mostly due to the extreme xenophobia of the Rokugani, shown in the story by an Imperial mandate of non-interaction with Gaijin. Eventually, it became obvious that L5R would greatly benefit from the sort of promotion, marketing, and production that costs a lot of money. The fans liked it enough to vote it the Best RPG of at the Origins Awards, and the core book went through four printings while spawning two dozen sourcebooks and add-on products.
