Saturday at Noon, November 1st: The Last Brother Leg 6 Storyline tournament. Registration begins at 11:30AM, and the tournament will begin at 1:00PM.

Years ago, a man named Kaneka traveled the Empire as a ronin, encountering many talented and gifted individuals, making allies and enemies everywhere he went. When the hand of fate intervened and granted Kaneka a life unlike that of any ronin-born samurai, when he rose in status and power to become the first Shogun of Rokugan for his brother, Emperor Toturi III, those who had known him best stood beside him as his chosen advisors. These men and women were placed above all others in the Shogun’s forces, and when many of the Great Clans showed their support of Kaneka, he in turn ordered his advisors to swear fealty to the clans as a sign of his favor. One by one, his advisors joined the ranks of the Great and Minor Clans. All save one. Etsushi is the last true descendant of the ronin hero Ihariko, who founded the Hidden Sword ronin band. The Forest Killer bandits destroyed the Hidden Sword years ago, leaving only Etsushi, his brother Uchito, and Kaneka alive to tell the tale. Now Kaneka is dead, Uchito has joined the Lion at the Shogun’s request, and Etsushi alone remains. As a magistrate in Zakyo Toshi, the so-called City of Vice, Etsushi has had to face the machinations of the Scorpion again and again, and now he finally has accepted that as a ronin there is nothing he can do as a simple wave man. Fortunately, his talents, his courage, and his tenacity have not gone unnoticed, and a clan has approached him with the offer of fealty that he alone among the advisors missed originally.

What clan will Etsushi serve? Will he join his brother among the Lion? Will he accept that the Scorpion cannot be defeated, and join the Clan of Secrets? That remains to be seen. The winner of this tournament will see his clan offer fealty to the ronin hero Etsushi, the last of the legendary Shogun’s Advisors. Etsushi will swear an oath of loyalty and serve the clan with every resource at his disposal, no matter the cost. Although there is no guarantee of a new personality card, if one should be printed, the winner will receive full credit for Etsushi’s new representation in the game.

What is a CCG? - Unlike traditional card games, such as poker or UNO, where the deck's content is limited and pre-determined, CCG players select which cards will compose their deck from the available pool of cards. This allows a CCG player to strategically customize their deck to take advantage of favorable card interactions, combinations and statistics.

What is Legend of the Five Rings? - The deep, evolving story of Legend of the Five Rings is one of the things that set it apart from most game settings. Players of the collectible card game, and to a lesser extent the role-playing game, can influence this story as it progresses by participating in sanctioned tournaments. The winners of major tournaments make pivotal decisions that can influence the storyline for years to come, with winners of minor tournaments influencing the storyline in lesser ways. Learn more on the official L5R web page.

Was that a sword I saw as a prize? -
Yes. To complement the setting, prizes for larger L5R tournaments often include such items as sword sets, armor sets, tetsubos, sai, kamas, or such odd items as a Koku of rice. Winners of major events also have their name printed on any cards that their victory affected in the storyline.

What L5R Products do we carry? - We carry a ful line of L5R CCG products, including all in-print expansions and assorted supplementary items, such as deck boxes and binders. We have an extensive selection of single cards for sale.
We also carry all in-print titles from the L5R RPG.

What do I need to play? - Each player needs to have their own deck of cards to play. Decks are available to play out of the box, with prices from $11.99 to $14.99. Additional cards, either from booster packs or purchased individually, can be mixed into your deck.

What are these "Clans"? - The different clans represent the power bases struggling for control in Rokugan, the setting for L5R. Many of these clans are playable as your faction of choice in the CCG. Also, many of these clans have dedicated fan sites available. Learn what clan you are.

What is the Imperial Herald? - The Herald is the fan magazine for L5R, containing strategy articles, fiction, event reporting and more. It also provides promotional cards for all subscribers.
The Herald acts as your clan representation in the setting of L5R. When a storyline effect or reward calls for clan participation, all Herald members which registered as that clan are invited to particpate.
The Herald also acts as a local store locator. The more registered Herald members at a store, the bigger impact the tournaments at that store have on the storyline of L5R.
