Tales of harrowing tribulation, perplexing mysteries, and glorious battle do not arise of their own volition; they are born of deeds—from those who endure what others cannot, learn what others do not, and brave what others will not. Before your adventures across Rokugan begin in the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, you will make a series of choices to describe not only your character’s statistics and powers, but also their personality and place in the world.

Whether you have a firm concept in mind—a temple guardian who strictly follows his clan’s beliefs, or a contemplative monk whose curiosity sometimes gets the better of her—or you’re starting from scratch and exploring as you build, your character comes alive by answering the Game of Twenty Questions. What’s more, character creation is one of the key differences between the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Core Rulebook and the Beginner Game!

Join us today as we take our first look at character creation in Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying!



Approaching the Elements
Before we get into questions and answers, first we must explore the elements that compose every character. In the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, characters are not defined with stats representing their strength, or their quickness, or their knowledge. Instead, the foundation of your character lies in their worldview and personality. The five core attributes, or Ring Values, align with the power of the Five Rings. Thus, your character’s traits are listed as Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Void, each with a numerical score.

Each element stands for different traits that may be more or less present in your character:


Air: Subtlety, cleverness, shrewdness



Earth: Discipline, toughness, measured action



Fire: Passion, creativity, quickness



Water: Adaptability, observation, trustworthiness



Void: Enlightenment, spirituality, awareness



These connections start to come into play when you use a skill check to overcome a challenge. The appropriate ring depends on your character’s attitude and intentions, which means that similar or identical tasks can be approached in myriad ways.

For example, a courtier may be attempting to moderate a trade negotiation between two parties. If she genuinely wishes to see an equitable outcome, she may use a Water approach, while attempting to manipulate one side into accepting a disadvantageous contract becomes an Air approach. A noble general uses Earth to maintain discipline and order among her troops, while she would use a Fire approach to rouse her warriors’ hearts to bravery and glory on the dawn of battle.

As you create your character over the Game of Twenty Questions, your Ring Values change to reflect the history, personality, and goals of your character!



Answer the Questions
The first questions of character creation are some of the most important, reflecting your character’s core identity. For example, as your very first question, which guides all other essential choices, is your character’s clan. Are they an enigmatic Scorpion? A diplomatic Crane? A noble Lion? Your character’s clan dictates a great deal of your character’s story, both past and future. How others react to them, how their education shaped them, what ties they have to clan and family—all of these things and more return directly to the choice of clan.

Appropriately, your clan choice is also the first facet of your character that affects your Ring Values. For instance, a Crab Clan character will receive a higher Earth Ring and Fitness skill, as befitting a member of a clan renowned for toughness and resolve. A Phoenix Clan member instead gains an increased Void Ring and Theology skill, reflecting the meditative training all Phoenix receive as an essential part of their culture.

While all members of a particular clan start with the cornerstone of their clan bonuses, every subsequent question adds new layers, and further exploration into your character can cause significant (and interesting!) divergences.



Family Ties
For the second question, you must delve deeper into your character, and decide what family your character belongs. Each clan contains numerous large families, who all serve the clan and Empire in different ways.

The Lion’s Matsu family, for instance, are legendary warriors, fierce as they are loyal, while the Shiba family serving the Phoenix clan entwine their martial training with a close understanding of the mystical shugenja they protect. Both families are traditionally bushi, but each see their role and duty in different ways.

Like the choice of a clan, the family your character comes from also confers attribute benefits. A Dragon Clan member of the Kistuki family would have been raised around courtiers and magistrates, so this character would gain increased Government and Sentiment skills, as they have a better understanding of the workings of the courts and the nuances of interpersonal communication. Additionally, the character chooses between an increased Air Ring or Water Ring, reflecting a tendency toward cleverness or understanding.

The choice of family also influences what material goods your character begins with, as it is the first question that confers koku, the coin of the realm. Even within a clan, this amount can vary. The Unicorn Clan’s Ide family are known as prolific merchants and courtiers, and thus provide nine koku to new characters, while their Iuchi family of priests and shugenja place a much lower value on material goods, claiming only five koku.



Small Pieces of a Greater Whole
While clan and family are core parts of a character’s identity, they only answer the biggest and most blanket questions. In our next preview, we’ll dig even deeper into the Game of Twenty Questions to see how they will flesh out details about your characters that you may have never considered—even as a decades-long veteran of roleplaying games. Conversely, if Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying is your first roleplaying experience, these questions can serve you for a lifetime in the hobby!

In the land of Rokugan, adventure awaits you. War, intrigue, and arcane mysteries will beset your journey, but you are not without power. In Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying, your samurai’s skills, ambition, and honor will guide them through tumultuous times toward victory and glory, but not without cost or opposition.

Whether mighty bushi, cunning courtier, or mystical shugenja, skill checks are the fundamental interactions you and your character will have with the game itself to determine the course of your adventures, and provide a path to unexpected journeys!

Join us today as we explore how skill checks are made in Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying and how they will help players and Game Masters shape stories together.



Finding the Path
Like most roleplaying games, Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying uses dice to determine the success or failure of the tasks that you and other characters are trying to accomplish. These objectives could be very small and immediate (escape a room, convince a guard to let you pass unhindered) or huge and incredibly aspirational (such as finding the original text of an ancient prophecy in a forgotten temple atop a faraway mountain). But just as small steps lead to great adventures, individual skill checks are the foundation for determining your characters’ progress and how the game’s world reacts to their efforts. After all, a skill check in Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying does not merely mark success or failure, but also what turns of fate may support or hinder an adventure as a whole.



While you're playing the game, the Game Master will determine when a skill check may be appropriate. A character walking across a bridge, even briskly, would not require a skill check, as this is a mundane activity. However, if your character is chasing or evading an opponent, or attempting to cross the bridge as a flash flood is washing away the support beams, then we have a consequence for failure and rolling the dice for a skill check is relevant.

The Flow of Fate
Every skill check in Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying follows a similar path: determine the approach, roll the dice and choose which to keep, and interpret the results.

The method and attitude that your character exhibits toward the task is called their elemental approach. The approach is relevant because many actions can be accomplished in different ways, depending on the character’s personality and intentions. For example, you and Game Master may decide that your sword master is currently relying on precision and studied discipline in their strikes, which means the elemental approach is Air. A bushi whose sword is meant to be a ferocious talon, cowing their opponent with a combination of overwhelming speed and passion for battle, is using the approach of Fire.



After determining your character's approach, you'll gather the dice that you need. For your chosen elemental approach, you'll look at your character's ability in that ring and grab that number of black six-sided dice—ring dice. Then, your character’s training in the specific task is applied and you'll take white twelve-sided dice (called skill dice) equal to your skill number. These dice are all rolled together—but you can only keep a number of dice equal to your character’s ring score, which can lead to some tough choices.



Each die offers a number of symbols that all represent different things:

 Success: This symbol counts as one success toward achieving your goal. Some checks will only require one success for relatively simple tasks, while more difficult tasks can require more successes.


Explosive Success: Not only is this symbol counted as one success, but you may also roll an additional die to increase your chances of a better result. On difficult challenges, this can allow your character to overcome truly formidable opposition.

 Opportunity: Opportunity doesn't count as a success for the action, but it is a narrative tool representing a beneficial turn of fate. With opportunity, the character may notice something about their surroundings, or add a positive narrative twist that can make their successes even greater or their failures salvageable.

 Strife: The other side of the narrative coin is strife, which indicates unchecked emotion and inner turmoil that can destabilize your character. These emotions are not necessarily good or bad, merely strong. A character’s mounting strife may cause them to act out in rage against an adversary just as easily as it may cause them to abandon decorum and show their open affection for another person.



Once the dice have been rolled, you'll choose to keep a number of dice equal to your relevant ring score! Sometimes this decision is easy, but if multiple symbols appear together on a single die, the choice can be more difficult. You may need to choose whether to accept success with increased strife, or perhaps balancing success with increased narrative opportunity.

Once the dice have been chosen and the final results tallied, the player and Game Master describe the results together! A sword may find purchase in an opponent’s armor which makes future attacks more deadly, a merchant may assents to a deal but holds a grudge against the character, or a shinobi finds a familiar alley to hide in as her enemies waste time searching in vain.

A Rooftop Chase
When you put it all together, a skill check may look a little like the following:

Kat wants to have her character, Sakura, leap from one rooftop to another while pursuing a suspicious figure fleeing the scene of a crime. She describes her character’s reckless approach to the task—catching up is the most important thing right now!



The GM decides that since she’s trying to overwhelm a foe with a burst of speed, the check will use Sakura’s Fire Ring and Fitness skill. A rooftop chase is already an impressive feat, and the layer of snow across each surface isn't making anything easier, so the GM determines that Kat will need to roll three successes to achieve her goal. Sakura has a Fire Ring value of three, so Kat picks up three ring dice, along with the single skill die that represents her meager Fitness skill. After rolling, Kat views her results and sees one die showing a success, a second showing an opportunity, a third showing a strife and an oppurtunity, and her skill die showing an explosive success.

Kat must now choose three dice to keep. Kat needs three success symbols to succeed, but currently only has two. However, if she keeps the explosive success, she gets to roll an additional die, which may give her the final success that she needs! She chooses to avoid strife and keeps the dice showing success, explosive success, and opportunity. Kat rolls an extra skill die for the explosive success, and gains an additional success and a strife!



Kat records her newly gained strife on her character sheet, inching her closer to an innapropriate outburst. Kat then resolves her opportunity, deciding the chase has shaken her target, making him easier to question later. Finally, Kat resolves her three success symbols, which allows Sakura to leap across the gap and tackle her target!

Finding Center
At the core of the mechanics of dice and skill checks is the advancing story that you and your friends are telling together. The goal isn’t to say “yes” or “no,” but to ask “why” and “how.” By fleshing out the narrative of the actions rather than just declaring the actions themselves, players and Game Masters together tell a story of ideals, emotions, and purpose. Honor and glory await!

Year 1176. Time criminals who proclaim themselves as "Historical Revisionists" with the aim to correct the rightful history, form the "History Retrograding Force" and repeatedly go back in time to stage attacks upon Rokugan's history.

To take down the History Retrograding Force, the Elemental Council sends out the Jade Champion, Kuni Daigo to protect all history. Nevertheless, there is no point in just defeating the History Retrograding Force if history is disturbed as well. Therefore only the smallest of troops are sent to protect history and the methods of sending are strictly restricted.

The opposing History Retrograding Force brings in unlimited troops from the future and sends them to the past. It is said that there are 840,000,000 of them. The numbers far suppress all the humans born in Rokugan.

While it seems clear as to whom will be victorious, the Elemental Council has one trump card up its sleeve.

And that is the skill possessced by the Jade Champion - the ability to manifest the hearts of objects. To awaken the thoughts and heart of sleeping items and grant them the power to fight on their own and to wield themselves.

The awakened tsukumogami - born from the crystallization of ancient spirit and techniques of the strongest items, are sent to the past in order to protect history.

Announcing the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook



In the land of Rokugan, the Emerald Empire has lasted for a thousand years. Under the guidance of the noble Hantei emperors, the samurai of the Great Clans have protected the lands from threats within and without, since the Kami came down from the heavens and established Rokugan as the most favored of kingdoms.

But after centuries of prosperity, cracks appear in the Empire’s foundations. The spirits of the land have become restless and wild. Armies of evil horrors march from the Shadowlands. Members of the Great Clans have begun to wonder if the time of the Hantei is over, and whether the heavens would favor new rulers…

As a samurai of the Emerald Empire, your duty lies in service to your lord, your clan, and your Emperor. Will you stay true to your duty, no matter what sacrifices it demands of you? Or will you hold true to your own code of honor, even to the point of death?



Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Core Rulebook for the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game!

At 336 stunning, full-color pages, the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Core Rulebook allows Game Masters and players alike to enter the world of Rokugan like never before. The Core Rulebook is the next step after the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game, and offers players new and deeper ways to customize their characters and craft their own adventures in the Emerald Empire.



Craft Your Story

The first section of the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Core Rulebook is dedicated to character creation, giving players the tools they need to craft their own samurai in the world of Rokugan. Rather than using pre-made characters, as in the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game, the Core Rulebook gives you everything you might want to invent your own characters, weaving yourself seamlessly into the Emerald Empire.

Since the very first edition of the game in 1997, the Game of 20 Questions has helped Legend of the Five Rings players establish a complete and complex character in the world of Rokugan, and this process returns in the new version of the RPG.

By working through twenty questions about your character that ask everything from your character’s clan alignment to their heritage, players are able to establish their characters both thematically and mechanically in a simple way. Answers to questions like “What is your character’s school, and what role does that school fall into?” will help determine your starting skills and their ranks, as well as having mechanical implications. Meanwhile, questions like “How should your character die?” have no mechanical  purpose, but serve as a powerful impetus to flesh out your samurai and develop your story.

In addition to the massive number of schools, advantages, and disadvantages included in the Game of 20 Questions, you'll find entire chapters devoted to the skills that you can hone and perfect as a samurai, alongside the kata, kihō, invocations, rituals, shūji, mahō, and ninjitsu techniques that you can master. Finally, a chapter on Equipment gives you everything that you need to equip your samurai with the weapons, armor, items, and other personal effects that he or she needs to thrive in Rokugan.

Once your character is created, the world is yours to explore. The book contains several chapters designed for the benefit of the Game Master, featuring advice on running a game in the world of Rokugan, including different ways to run a campaign, as well as a wealth of mechanical rules and non-player characters that can be used to populate your world and bring it to life.

While the Beginner Game contains the rules you need to roleplay in a pre-made adventure, the Core Rulebook provides a more in-depth explanation of these rules and lets you truly make the Emerald Empire your own. Furthermore, as your samurai grows throughout a campaign, the Core Rulebook's experience paths invite you to upgrade your samurai throughout their adventures in Rokugan, growing in experience and learning new skills and techniques.



A Samurai’s Tools

Launching alongside the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Core Rulebook are two different products designed to enhance your roleplaying game experience!

Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying uses a set of custom dice to determine the success, failure, strife, and narrative opportunities generated by every test. (We'll take a much closer look at how you can use these dice in practice in future Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying previews!) You can claim your own set of these dice with the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Dice Pack—this pack contains ten custom dice, five black and five white. The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Dice Pack will launch alongside the Core Rulebook in the third quarter of 2018. The dice are also available through our Legend of the Five Rings Dice App on Apple and the Google Play Store!

Launching alongside the Core Rulebook and the Dice Pack is an indispensable tool for Game Masters: the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game Master's Kit.

The centerpiece of the Game Master's Kit is the GM screen. One side features beautiful art of the world of Rokugan, while the other side of the GM Screen is filled with rules reminders and tables. This allows the Game Master to keep notes and skill checks hidden if they desire, but also features helpful rule reminders and charts right at their fingertips—such as an index of commonly referenced rules, steps to making a check, examples of spending opportunity, and more. Every table, chart, and reminder also features the page in the Core Rulebook from which it is referenced, giving GMs a simple way to check a rule with an option for a more in-depth explanation.



The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game Master's Kit also provides a perfect beginning adventure for players, inviting them to take their first steps into Rokugan. “Dark Tides” sends players to the mysterious and obscure town of Taimana Choryū, and the entire adventure is designed to challenge characters socially and emotionally, as well as with action and detective work. What secrets await in the Slow Tide Harbor?

An Introduction to Roleplaying in Rokugan


In Rokugan, it is said that honor is stronger than steel. While even the finest blade can bend and break under the heat of the forge, the Emerald Empire’s society has been folded in the forges of politics and war for more than a thousand years, and it has not yet broken. The society of Rokugan follows a divinely ordered pattern set down by the eight Kami, who shared their celestial blessings with the mortal realm. Rokugan is a land of strict social stratification, where an improper look at the wrong time can mean death.

This is an era of sudden change and upheaval, however. Mortal schemes, natural calamities, and celestial turmoil alike have disrupted the political, military, and spiritual equilibrium of the land. Long-simmering rivalries and fresh betrayals ripple through the courts and on the battlefield. The Chrysanthemum Throne is beset by threats from without and within, and the honor of the seven Great Clans—the families descended from the heroes of legend and sworn to rule their lands in the Emperor's name—shall be put to the test.

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game, a new roleplaying experience in the land of honor and steel.

The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game allows anyone to take on the role of a samurai in Rokugan. With four in-depth character folios, a fully realized adventure book, a set of custom dice, a map of Rokugan, a variety of tokens, and a set of rules including an example of play, the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game gives newbies and veterans alike the perfect door to the Emerald Empire.



A Pathway to Adventure

The recent mysterious death of the Emerald Champion, Doji Satsume of the Crane Clan, has thrown the Emerald Empire into turmoil. Each of the Great Clans suspiciously eyes the others and wonders whether the death was no tragic accident, but a dishonorable act of murder.

In these times of strife, a group of youths approaches the village of Tsuma for the Topaz Championship and their gempukku, the coming-of-age ceremony that will mark them as fully- fledged samurai. Each contestant has come from a different clan and dreams of being the highest-scoring contestant in the tournament, earning the title of Topaz Champion. Despite being pitted against one another, they are all united in their desire to succeed and bring honor to their clan and family.



The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game invites you and your fellow players onto this adventure, introducing the Emerald Empire through intrigue, action, and a test of will and character. Most of the players in the game will emobdy these young samurai, taking on the role of a player character. The final player becomes the Game Master, who controls the actions of all non-player characters and helps to move the story forward. Even if you're new to roleplaying or the role of the Game Master, the beginner game's pre-made adventure gives you all the tools you need to run a smooth game that introduces the mechanics and world of Rokugan to your players. Look for not only a guide to the Topaz Championship, but maps, player tokens and more that serve to immerse both you and the players in the Emerald Empire.

A Test of Character

The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game allows new players to dive into the action with four pre-made character folios. These folios give players the opportunity to play as a youth in the world of Rokugan, looking to represent the Lion, Crane, Phoenix, or Dragon in the Topaz Championship. Choose between playing as the cunning and diplomatic Doji Ren; Togashi Yoshi, a master of compassion and the fist; Akodo Masako, whose skill with a weapon is only rivaled by her steadfast honor; or Isawa Aki, who wields the power of the elements themselves.



These folios not only introduce you to your characters, but provide all the relevant information you'll need to guide you on your adventure. A completely filled-out character sheet, complete with beautiful artwork, is your stepping stone into the Emerald Empire, and a variety of reminders and special abilities will let you roleplay your character with ease. If you're not sure which character to select, a helpful guide on the back of every folio can easily guide you to a selection that's right for you!

The Hand of Fate

Within the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game, you'll find a unique way to start your roleplaying adventures: an updated version of the Roll and Keep system found in prior versions of the Legend of the Five Rings RPG. By using the set of custom dice included in the box, you'll be able to help your characters overcome the trials ahead, while informing the world around them and their inner turmoil.



Every skill check in Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game will see players rolling these custom dice, choosing a few to keep, and getting a result that not only demonstrates success or failure, but also unique opportunities and an accumulation of strife. Too much strife can lead to you choosing how your character must release their emotions in a fashion ill-befitting a samurai, and it can have drastic story repercussions.

This fusion of style allows player choice in the form of Roll and Keep to thive alongside the variety of story options presented by the narrative dice system. Player choice is further emphasized by the approach that characters must take to every skill check, choosing one of the titular five rings that can represent everything from careful planning, to a spur of the moment decision, to using the environment to your advantage. These different approaches affect both how many dice you roll and how many dice you're allowed to keep.

Take your first steps into the Emerald Empire with the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game. Between a pre-made adventure ripe with action and a set of characters that represent the best of Rokugan, the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Beginner Game is the perfect introduction to Rokugan for new players and veterans alike.

Adventure Awaits

The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game is a game of samurai drama, drawing inspiration from real world literature and history and taking place in the fictional land of Rokugan. Characters are torn between their personal desires and their sworn duties, and must often contend with cunning court intrigues, deadly armed conflicts, and dangerous supernatural creatures.

In the game, each player takes on the role of an individual samurai whose honor and loyalty will be put to the test through adventures featuring suspense, romance, action, and more. All the while, you must grapple with your human emotions and choose between following your heart’s desire or doing what society—and the code of Bushidō—demands of you. These personal stories of triumph and tragedy will reverberate across the Emerald Empire and shape the very future of Rokugan.

The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game provides players and Game Masters with the tools to tell stories of samurai drama within the Emerald Empire. The game contains rules for creating characters sworn to one of the seven Great Clans and running game sessions filled with intrigue and conflict. A wide variety of skills, techniques, passions, flaws, and more allow players to customize their character mechanically and narratively. And the fantastical feudal setting of Rokugan provides a rich tapestry of majesty and wonder where these stories can unfold.

The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game employs custom dice, but it uses a system completely unique from the Narrative Dice System employed by Genesys and the Star Wars™ Roleplaying Games. The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game revolves around a concept from previous editions called roll and keep, now using unique custom dice. When attempting to have their character resolve a task in the story, a player rolls a number of dice and then chooses and keeps a number of these dice. This activity (rolling and keeping dice to see the consequences of a character’s effort) is called a check. Only kept dice are resolved, which gives the player the strategic opportunity to decide which symbols will make for the best story. Many die faces contain both positive and negative outcomes together, and a player must decide if the benefits of keeping that die outweigh the costs—greater success may cost more than you are willing to bear.



A Warrior's Weapon

The dice used for the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game are unique in nature, using custom symbols. While the beta contains a conversion chart that allows you to use standard six-sided and twelve-sided dice for checks, Fantasy Flight Games has also created a dice app which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play! The app features a standard set of dice as well as the custom dice featured in the game, inviting you to perform checks with just the click of a few buttons!



The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game Dice App gives you all the dice you need to play a game of Legend of the Five Rings.
