L5R Fans,

You have surely noticed two new additions on our main page in the form of a tracker (in the top right corner) and a countdown (at the bottom of the posts).

As its name implies, the 10K card tracker indicates how many different cards (it doesn’t count the reprints) have been released in L5R as of this day. As we release more cards, the tracker will be updated. The day we release the 10,000 card a very special event will occur.

The countdown tracks the days we have left till the Main Event of the next GenCon Indy (August 18, 2012) and the celebrations that will be tied to this tournament and to the Convention in general.

As we close in on the 10,000th card, expect more information on this event and the card itself, so check back our main page regularly!

In the wake of tragedy, the position of Imperial Governor is filled by the will of the Divine Empress (and the results of our GenCon 2011 tournament event!).

L5R Players,

You can now find on a single dedicated page all the information on the Storyline events held at GenCon 2011. You can discuss the various events on our forums.

Each year, the fans of L5R who love costuming come together at our largest events to show off their new creations. And each year, the staff of AEG is given the enormous task of selecting the best of the best. This year, the prize for the costume contest will not be limited to recognition at the convention, however; it will be another opportunity to affect the storyline of Rokugan!

The winner of the contest as selected by the official judges will determine the clan affiliation of the darling of the season, the samurai whose appearance in court captures the attention and the interest of virtually everyone during the Winter Court of that year.

The official 2011 GenCon L5R Costume Contest will take place at the beginning of the Big Gaming Night special event, Aug 6 at 7PM.

The assassination of the Imperial Governor of the Colonies has sent shockwaves throughout both the Colonies and the Empire of Rokugan. The Imperial Court of the Divine Empress has spent weeks discussing the matter, with every facet of it being carefully scrutinized and criticized. Petition after petition has been placed before the Child of Heaven, encouraging her to select particular individual or at least favor one clan over the other.
Gravely concerned about the state of affairs in the Colonies and eager to put the matter aside in order to deal with the blossoming conflict with the Naga, the Empress has made her selection as to who will enforce her will and speak with her authority within the Colonies for the foreseeable future.
