FFG: Legend of the Five Rings RPG Gets An FAQ

Fantasy Flight Games has released a new FAQ/Errata for the Legend of the Five Rings RPG.

One of the great things about the Legend of the Five Rings setting is that the game and story are constantly changing and evolving. The events in Rokugan are impacted by Players of the LCG in particular. This can help the game and world feel dynamic and alive. What’s neat is this can spill over into the rest of the setting – like the RPG.

With all the updates, versions, and changes sometimes things slip through the cracks. And sometimes those things do make it into print. Fortunately, in our modern world, we have ways to address those issues thanks to the internet. These updates come in the form of Errata/FAQs directly from the folks working on the game.

“The newest version of the Legend of the Five Rings errata is version 2.0, with changes from the previous version in red. The Errata and FAQ can be found here (13MB). Recent additions include an important note about technique prerequisites, an adjustment to the Moto Avenger School in the Shadowlands supplement, and an Imperial announcement regarding treachery in the Emerald Empire.”

The document is only 3 pages so it’s a pretty quick update. One of the big changes was the updates to prerequisites in chapter 4. Be sure to check that section out if you’re playing the RPG as it could impact how you’re building and creating your characters!

If you’re looking to get started with the L5R RPG, you can start with the Core Rules or go for one of the starter kits. Once you’ve found your footing in the land of Rokugan, you can then check out other products like Winter’s Embrace or Mask of the Oni for adventures. Or if you’re more interested in doing your own thing get a copy of the Game Master’s Kit and pick up a sourcebook like Emerald Empire, Courts of Stone, or Shadowlands. The resources are certainly out there if you want to explore the Emerald Empire!

Defend the Honor of your house with the L5R RPG!
