AEG Press Release - Announcing the L5R CCG User Group

From the AEG Website

The Community of players that surrounds the Legend of the Five Rings games is second to none. Every day we hear stories of players who have gone out of their way to help a friend in need of a card, to prepare an amazing RPG adventure, or to lend a deck to someone who wants to learn. These people are what make L5R such a great game to be involved with. The L5R team knows that listening to the players is one of the main ways that we can work to make the game better. We want everyone who plays the game to feel like they are part of the Story and world that makes the setting so special.

Recently, the L5R Team was approached by a well-known veteran player, James Donnithorne-Tait, better known as Donny in the community. Donny proposed the idea of having an L5R User Group, made up of players and event organizers from all over the world, to solicit feedback and help make the game better. Donny’s idea was well thought out and, after review by the L5R Team, we have given him the go-ahead to organize this User Group.


Donny will act as the first “Chairman” of the group, with a new Chairman being selected by vote of the members each year. Donny has also recommended a list of players, representative of player bases from across the world, to form the initial group. In ensuing years, players will be able to vote for their representatives on the User Group via the Imperial Assembly.

The User Group is responsible for advertising its existence to the player base and hosting open meetings with fans at Gen Con and Worlds. Community members with feedback can discuss their concerns with any User Group member, who may bring it up for discussion within the group as appropriate. The L5R Community Organizer and User Group Chair are responsible for maintaining relations between AEG and the User Group, with the Community Organizer taking ideas and concerns to the L5R Team for review.

Over the next couple of weeks, Donny will be sending out letters to those whom he hopes will serve. Once we have a complete slate of User Group members, we will announce their names and the way you can get in contact with them and follow their activities.
