• Theme: Players take on the roles of samurai from one of the "Great Clans," such as the Crab, Crane, Dragon, Lion, Phoenix, Scorpion, or Unicorn clans. They must balance their personal desires with their duty to their lord and the Code of Bushidō.
• Game System: The game uses a custom dice system that combines the "Roll and Keep" system from previous editions with a narrative dice system. The dice rolls not only determine success or failure but can also generate "opportunities" or "strife," which can impact the unfolding story.
• Setting: The world of Rokugan is a rich and detailed setting with warring factions, political intrigue, magic, and mythical beasts. The game encourages proper role-playing to navigate social and political situations, as combat can be very lethal.
