HONOR IS STRONGER THAN STEEL!

For over a thousand years, the Divine Emperor Hantei has ruled Rokugan, defended by the seven Great Clans.

Now the forces of the Shadowlands are gathering, threatening peace, alliances are breaking, and the very harmony of the five elements seems to waver.

This is an age of turmoil and samurai: soldiers and politicians, mystics and aesthetes, perfect guardians bound by the Way of the Warrior, yet at the same time men made of desires and passions.

Need Games is honored to present THE LEGEND OF THE FIVE RINGS – The Roleplaying Game in its fifth edition, forged from the meeting of the new simplified version of Genesis by Fantasy Flight Games, with custom 6-sided and 12-sided dice, and the original mechanics that have characterized this game since its inception.

As a samurai of the Emerald Empire, you have the duty to serve your lord, your Clan, and your Emperor. Will you remain true to the Bushidō, no matter the sacrifices that may be required of you? Or will you adhere to your personal code of honor, even if it leads you to death?

A game in which your reputation, your convictions, and your loyalty matter even more than the strength of your sword.

Within the 336-page manual on sale for €49.90 INCLUDING THE PDF, you will find all you need to forge your legend, including the rules for creating samurai characters with a rich and detailed background, personality, strengths, and flaws, an innovative gameplay system with custom dice that brings life to the characters' turmoil, and the rules for running the game as Game Master.
