30 Years of Legend of the Five Rings Episode 5

“30 Years of Legend of the Five Rings” is the second series of the Play to Win podcast from Aconyte Books. This series of interviews celebrates 30 years since the debut of L5R at Gen Con 1995, and explores the perspectives of the people who had a hand in the franchise’s making, past and present; the lasting impacts L5R had on their lives; and what about L5R has made it an enduring force in the tabletop games industry after all these years.

Previously on “30 Years of Legend of the Five Rings,” we’ve heard about and talked to L5R players whose passion eventually led them to get involved in a more official capacity. In Episode 5, host Katrina Ostrander speaks with Julie Kagawa and J.T. Nicholas, whose journey started with the roleplaying game and led them to writing official novels for Aconyte Books. They discuss how the themes and mechanics of the L5R RPG make it unique, plus how writing and roleplaying have fed into each other for Julie and J.T. over the years.

Visit their author websites at JulieKagawa.com and JTNicholas.com. A Throne Betrayed by Julie Kagawa and J.T. Nicholas, the first book in the Clan Wars series of novels, is available in print or ebook format from these retailers. You can learn more about Julie Kagawa’s Shadow of the Fox series on her website.

Finally, check out the current edition of Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying, available from Edge Studio.
