Return to Rokugan, where honor is a force more powerful than steel.
For one thousand years, the Empire of Rokugan has stood as a bastion of nobility, honor, and virtue. These lands are ruled by the samurai, powerful heroes who carry the katana and wakizashi as their badge of rank. Eight Great Clans vie with one another for supremacy over these lands, all under the eye of the mighty Emperor. And to the south, the Shadowlands, the eternal enemy of Rokugan, waits for the next opportunity to disrupt all that these foolish mortals have built. It is a land of intrigue, wonder, and adventure.

Welcome to the third iteration of the Legend of the Five Rings Role-Playing Game. This player's guide will provide players and GM's with all of the setting, culture, and rules needed to create characters in the Legend of the Five Rings world and stage ongoing campaigns in Rokugan. While this book contains an updated version of the familiar rules, conversion rules will be included so that none of the many previous volumes set in this world will ever be obsolete.

The best Asian style fantasy setting roleplaying game of this generation returns to its roots with its release this summer. Legend of the Five Rings 3rd Edition returns focus to the Roll and Keep(R&K) system originally released in 1996. Conveying a deeper sense of realism, the R&K system best simulates the tension, reality, and lethality of Samurai drama. Look for it more information in the coming weeks here at L5R.com.

* A new generation of the beloved Legend of the Five Rings roll and keep system.

* Streamlines existing rules without making previous products obsolete.

* Excellent sourcebook for Rokugani culture and history

About the author

rich wulf

"I'm a writer, kind of impulsive but shy. Loyal to my friends, tend to take things personally more than I should. Very stubborn, but will listen to reason when I give it a chance. Don't talk much but difficult to shut up when I start. Easily distracted by shiny objects and bright colors. There isn't really much of a point to this page. Not the biggest fan of Myspace in general, except when I want to see hideously ugly websites for the unintended comedy value - it's got a lot of those. At this point it'd just be more effort to take it down than to leave it out there. It's not doing any harm, and sometimes a friend says hi. That can be a good thing. I do check my messages and whatnot but don't expect a lot of updates. You have permission to be heartbroken" - Rich Wulf
