New Cold War is a 1 to 4 player geopolitics game that takes place between 1989 and 2019. Each player will manage the strategy of one of the great powers fighting to settle the new world order: US, EU, Russia and China. The first phases of the game will provoke a confrontation between the Western bloc and the Chinese-Russian alliance, but victory will be achieved individually. This will be marked by an agenda of hidden objectives that each power must achieve in order to win. New Cold War uses a Card-Driven game mechanic through the 135 most relevant historical events that have taken place during the 30 years in which the game takes place.
The mighty castles and sprawling cities of Rokugan are merely tiny islands of civilization in the vast wilderness that surrounds and envelops the Emerald Empire. From the dark and haunted depths of the Shinomen Mori forest to the sharp and icy peaks of the Great Wall of the North mountains, these ancient and wild lands hold countless dangers for the unwary. Only the wise samurai of the Dragon Clan embrace their writ to live in the wilds, and create the bridge between this world and civilization.
Writ of the Wilds explores the wilds of Rokugan, as well as the mysterious Dragon clan who makes these lands their home. In this sourcebook for the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, you will find exciting new information on gaming in the Rokugani wilderness and the territories of the Dragon, including:
