Beginning in November of 2008 as the new Emperor is named, the players of Legend of the Five Rings will receive a special gift, The Imperial Gift.
The Imperial Gift is not a single promo card or even a small group of promo cards. It is an entire expansion divided into three parts and distributed as a play set that will be given to players over the course of Celestial Edition.
The Imperial Gift part one will be made available for players at the Samurai Championships Global storyline event being held in stores on November 8-9. It will also be the introduction to Celestial Edition and debut the amazing new design of the L5R cards.
Here are some sample, in-development images.
NOTE: These are still development versions. There are a few tweaks we were playing with, such as swapping the gold cost and HR on a personality, but in the finals those will be back in their normal positions. The follower will also have its Focus Value as normal. These do NOT constitute a spoiler of CE cards. The card backs are NOT changing.
The Imperial Gift part two will be given to players in May/June of 2009 and the Imperial Gift part 3 will mark the beginning of our 15th year celebration.
All three parts of the Imperial Gift total 150 new cards, our gift to players of L5R because we could not think of a better way to express to our players that we appreciate you and it is your support and guidance has made L5R the most engaging gaming product ever.
From all of us at AEG, thank you.
