Reception
The reviewer from the online second volume of Pyramid stated that "I have a great deal of
nostalgia for FGU's classic game Bushido, and Legend of the Five Rings captures much of
Bushido's Oriental swords & sorcery feel, with, thankfully, much more comprehensible rules."[7]
In 1998, Legend of the Five Rings won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Game of 1997.[8]
Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game won the 2006 Gold Ennie Award for "Best Interior
Art".[9]
In a review of Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game in Black Gate, Scott Taylor said "L5R
was epic, a Matt Wilson cover making me sit up and take notice, and the mechanics of game play
a fresh change from the D20 of D&D and the D6 of Shadowrun as L5R introduced 'exploding
D10s'. The setting, an amalgam of Asian culture called Rokugan, overwhelmed, and although my
mindset is distinctly and irrevocably western, I still fell into this game head first."[10]
