Legend of the Five Rings (Third Edition Revised)

Set in the Emerald Empire, this roleplaying game follows bushi, shugenja, and courtiers amid warfare, supernatural threats, and courtly intrigue. Characters confront the horrors of the Shadowlands, navigate conflicts between the Empire’s clans, and pursue glory and honor. The revised rules are compatible with third-edition supplements and cover each clan, the major events that have reshaped the setting, and more than forty character schools, including those of the Spider Clan. School adjustments provide a more balanced experience, while the setting follows the storyline of the associated collectible card game.
