Earlier this month, Aconyte Books came out with Rokugan: The Art of Legend of the Five Rings, a celebration of the fantasy illustration from the franchise whose fictions, novellas, and RPGs I’ve had a large hand in over the last five years. Working alongside Visual Creative Director Andy Christensen, I was able to contribute to this fantastic art book by helping to curate the art as well as writing the lore in the final chapter, “Empire in Turmoil,” which showcases some of the storyline events from the Living Card Game era of L5R. Overall, I think Editor Matt Keefe did a fantastic job putting this art book together and laying out the gorgeous spreads, and I’m going to proudly display it on my shelves alongside other art books from my favorite fandoms.
You can check out several samples of the book, including this overview and excerpts from the Imperial Court and Shadowlands chapters of the book. If you’re looking to add this to your collection, head on over to the Aconyte Books website, where you can find links to purchase the book from your preferred retailer.
