Samurai of Rokugan,

With our recent expansion into the area formerly known as the Ivory Kingdoms, we are ushering in a new era of Rokugan. In these times of peace, the Samurai in the Colonies will need an outlet for their competitive nature, just as they do here in Rokugan. Therefore, the Divine Child, long may she reign, has decreed that there are to be tournaments held at the Governor’s Estate in the Second City, to find the Samurai most worthy of the task at hand. Throughout the year, there will be more tournaments held at the Governor’s Estate, just as there will be tournaments held here in Rokugan. The first of these tournaments shall be known as In the Shadow of Greatness.

In March 2011, tragedy struck the Jolly Blackburn family. The gaming community, ever supportive, set up a series of auctions through the website BoardGameGeek.com. One of items up for auction was a special Storyline Event to be held at your Stronghold Store with the added benefit of receiving the visit of an AEG staffer.
The various communities of L5R pooled funds in truly remarkable fashion and at the end of the auction, Australia emerged the lead bidder with a pledge of over $3000 USD and as such earned the right to host the tournament.

The time for this tournament has come. This weekend – on January 21st – players in Australia will get the chance to impact the story of Legend of the Five Rings with John Zinser – CEO of AEG – in attendance! Come celebrate L5R Down Under with him during this special charity tournament!

Just a quick reminder that the European Championships are only a little more than a week away, starting Friday, October 28th and finishing Sunday, October 30th. So make those last minute travel arrangements and visit beautiful Ireland.

As a special treat, those in attendance will get to hear Bryan Reese announce, for the first time, the project that he has been working on for close to two years that will be launching with Emperor Edition. Keep your ears pointed to Dublin for more information.
