Along with L5R, we are also looking forward to a bright and exciting future for our other game lines as well, such as Nightfall and Thunderstone.

To that end, AEG is hosting its Big Christmas Blowout Sale! We are going to have something for everyone, and hope it makes your holiday experience that much better!

First, the facts: The sale will begin at 9AM PST on Monday, December 5th. It will end on Friday, December 9th at midnight PST. All you need to do is go to our Online Store at store.alderac.com and search for your favorite products.

Now the fun part. Here is the list of our Christmas Bundles, as well as other great deals we are giving you. These are all excellent gifts for dedicated fans of these games, or a great way to break into it.

Nightfall:
We’re giving away two different bundles, to help you fill out your Nightfall collection, or get started with a brand new one!

L5R 4th Edition RPG:
The L5R RPG has been one of the best products for an RPG line, and 4th Edition continues to outshine itself continuously with new books filled with gorgeous art, interesting mechanics for both GMs and Players, and more background and information about the world of Rokugan than anyone could ever ask for. If you’re missing a book in your collection, this Big Christmas Bundle will help you fill out, and give you extra copies for friends and new players. If you’ve wanted to get into the L5R RPG, now is your chance to get EVERYTHING that is out for it, all at once.

L5R CCG:
Finally, we come to the CCG. While we are as anxious for Emperor Edition to arrive as the rest of you, we still want to spread holiday cheer and happiness amongst all of our fans. To that end, we are giving you all great discounts for your Clan Shops, as well as helping you round out some of your Before the Dawn and Second City collection before Emperor Edition drops. These deals are our way of showing you, the community, which makes L5R so great, that we care about you, and we want you to enjoy this holiday season the best way possible – Banzai!

Big Christmas L5R Online Store Deals

• ALL Deck Backers – $5
• Clan and Ring Foil Packs – $8
• One each of the Phoenix, Lion, and Crab Before the Dawn Starters, PLUS one each of the Scorpion, Mantis, and Dragon Second City Starters – $50
• New/Renewal Imperial Herald Subscriptions (US)- $20
• New/Renewal Imperial Herald Subscriptions (Int’l) – $30

And the final surprise for AEG’s Big Christmas Holiday Blowout – Cards for Koku.

To start, we are adding more Before the Dawn rares, AND we are reducing their Koku cost to 15.

But that’s not all!

We are releasing Second City early, at 20 Koku a card, so you can help full out your Second City collection.

We’re also putting up Rare Sets from the Celestial Edition Arc – perfect to help any collector round out his collection before saying good by to Celestial Edition, or to help you get older cards so you can continue to play in the War of Honor Extended Format, which will soon become an Emperor Edition/Celestial Edition legal format. These rare sets will be from The Dead of Winter, The Plague War, and The Harbinger. These are limited quantities, so get them before they run out!

One last thing – if you’ve got a piece of wall space to fill, then maybe you would like to put our brand new promotional poster for Emperor Edition there.

These posters were sent out to Stronghold Stores along with the Emperor Edition Demo Deck Kits, but we’re offering a limited quantity of 350 posters for you, to put in your office or in your home, in anticipation for the best release of L5R ever. These posters will be sold for 250 Koku each.

Have a great holiday season, and from everyone here at AEG, thank you!

Like the residents of all who do not have a Clan Alignment, in the tournament these players shall use the tiles which are aligned to no clan, also known as the Ronin tiles.

That is all the Divine Child wishes to impart upon her people for now.

You can hear more about it on the latest Strange Assembly podcast. Go listen and then discuss it in our forums.

One quick note. When you get your Imperial Gift 3s, you will see War of Honor advertised as releasing later this year. We looked at our production schedule and made a conscientious decision to delay its release date. This is not a problem with the product getting made. There are simply a lot of L5R CCG products releasing the rest of the year and we did not want to put a strain on our players.

Stay alert for more information to come.
