Legend of the Five Rings: Imperials Histories Volume I & II
There was a stretch of time when Fantasy Flight Games dominated my playtime. Over a course of time between 2014 and 2020, I believe I was almost continually involved with a campaign involving one of their games, whether it be Dark Heresy, their version of the Star Wars RPG and the core system of Genesys that they spun out of it. And bluntly, I love the more dynamic storytelling that comes from the novel dice systems that FFG developed. So when a Beginner’s Box of Legend of the Five Rings came out for a oneshot, and I saw a Phoenix character sheet I was immediately back to that teenager in the comic store and I knew I had to play it. And right around that time, I was introduced to a play by post group that was playing in a setting I hadn’t heard of, and that has now been six plus years of playing in different shortform L5R campaigns.
