Legend of the Five Rings 4th Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Blood. Honor. Steel.

Welcome to the 4th Edition of the epic Role-Playing Game Legend of the Five Rings! Join us for the ultimate adventure of fantasy samurai, locked in perpetual battles of honor and glory within the bonds of the Code of Bushido.

The Emerald Empire of Rokugan demands much of its samurai: service to one's lord, service to one's Clan, and service to one's Emperor.

Bushido's staunch and unyielding code of conduct binds samurai to duty,  strengthening their character and defining their choices. While some samurai serve the greater good, others use the strictures of Bushido to manipulate the lower ranks and advance their own power. Will you follow honor or reject it? The choice is yours!

Eight Great Clans form the heart of Rokugan's culture. Each is defined by its own principles, values, and agendas. Each sees the Code of Bushido in its own way. Each seeks to serve the Emperor with its own unique talents. Take up the soul of your ancestors - the samurai's daisho - and fight for the glory and honor of your family and Clan. Now is the time for heroes, in a world where Honor is a force more powerful than Steel.

The Fourth Edition of L5R is the ultimate edition of the award-winning role-playing game. Inside this tome you will find:

  • A game unlike any you've played elsewhere. Honor and service are valued more than magic swords taken from wandering ogres. Prepare for the glorious life of the samurai!
  • A unique, comprehensive character sheet. Legend of the Five Rings rules have never been more easy to learn and to play. No more need to flip through pages of rules while fighting your enemies!
  • A toolbox approach to role-playing in Rokugan. Fourth Edition encourages gamemasters of Legend of the Five Rings to customize their game, adding or removing from their campaigns as they see fit.
  • A broad history of the Emerald Empire and the beliefs of all the Great Clans, with play options not only the major clans but also for outlying groups such as Imperials, Minor Clans, and the infamous Spider Clan.

DRAW YOUR BLADE AND JOIN THE FIGHT FOR ROKUGAN.

Would really like a POD version - This is my go to edition, I prefer the art style and rules.
I have tried but don't like 5th ed - rules with funky dice or a bespoke app? No thanks and the art just leaves me cold.

Is this the d10 dice pool version, or the funky dice version?

I'll add my voice to the PoD desire. I don't merely want a PDF or to go hunting in overpriced used books.

Need PoD options for 4th Edition. Would be nice to also have reasonably priced PDFs.

The older L5R stuff is a hostage. We will never get a PoD option or reasonable prices.

The worst decision Asmodee made was take the rpg division away from FFG and give it to Edge Studios. All the L5r pdfs spiked in price while also getting rid of all the PoD options, which has had the further effect of seeing all the 4e books go up in price on the secondary market.

I miss FFG having L5r.

The worst decision was to give EDGE ANYTHING. They're not even on the scene really yet and manage to XXX off everyone. That's really something.

And all Edge has announced so far is a updated Rokugan game using the D&D 5e engine and a new Midnight setting book, also using the D&D 5e engine. There is one more L5R 5th book coming out that was already in the works by FFG when FFG lost L5R to Edge, but after that it's unknown if they will continue working on this version of L5R.

Another vote for the hardcopy version. I love this game and want a physical copy.

Would it be possible to get those print-on-demand premium colour hard cover versions back as an option for all of the Legend of Five Rings 4th Edition books? They were here when I last time checked. I have been waiting for the opportunity to complete my collection but now those books are not here anymore. I want to get my RPGs as physical books, preferably hard cover.

TLDR; please, could you make the bureaucratic magic happen so that these books would be available yet again?

One of the best settings and rulesets out there. And the two gel together perfectly. A huge book with tons of options and features. The magic system alone is worth the price of admission.

does this item have a printer-friendly version, or is there a file with layers so that backgrounds can be turned off for home printing?

Can anyone comment on how this pdf looks on an e-reader? Some pdfs look great, full screen, etc. Others not so much. Thanks.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
