Legend of the Five Rings (Third Edition)
A samurai fantasy role-playing game set in Rokugan, a fictional empire inspired by Japan, China, and other Asian cultures where noble code and clan politics shape daily life. Players create samurai and other figures, take on roles within one of the Great Clans, and resolve conflicts using an updated Roll-and-Keep dice system that emphasizes realism, tension, and lethal combat. The book provides setting material, cultural background, character creation, rules for ongoing campaigns, and conversion guidance for use with earlier editions.
