The fictional setting of Legend of the Five Rings is similar to feudal Japan, though it also includes aspects of other Asian cultures, as well as magic and mythical beasts. Fantasy Flight Games released a new role-playing game based on the Legend of the Five Rings setting in October, 2018. In September 2015, AEG and Fantasy Flight Games jointly announced that the intellectual property had been sold to FFG. In 1998, Legend of the Five Rings won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Game of 1997. Legend of the Five Rings features many courtiers and other non-combatant character types as valid player characters. Like most role-playing games, Legend of the Five Rings is played by one or more players and a game master, who controls the events that happen during the game as well as the non-player characters (NPCs). The game uses the Legend of the Five Rings setting, primarily the nation of Rokugan, which is based on feudal Japan with influences from other East Asian cultures. The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game is a role-playing game originally written by John Wick and published by Alderac Entertainment Group, under license from Five Rings Publishing Group, in 1997.
