Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game
The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game is a role-playing game originally written by John Wick and published by Alderac Entertainment Group, under license from Five Rings Publishing Group, in 1997. The game uses the Legend of the Five Rings setting, primarily the nation of Rokugan, which is based on feudal Japan
with influences from other East Asian cultures. Like most role-playing games, Legend of the Five Rings is played by one or more players and a game master, who controls the events that happen during the game as well as the non-player characters (NPCs). Legend of the Five Rings features many courtiers and other
non-combatant character types as valid player characters. In September 2015, AEG and Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) jointly announced that the intellectual property had been sold to FFG. Fantasy Flight Games released a new role-playing game based on the Legend of the Five Rings setting in October 2018. In 2020, FFG's
parent company Asmodee transferred FFG's RPG lines, including Legend of the Five Rings, to another subsidiary, Edge Studio.
