I'm actually relatively new to Legend of the Five Rings, and only played the RPG a few times with my brother and some friends. With Fantasy Flight acquiring this particular brand, I'm excited to see what they might do with Great Clans in this card game. I've only started getting into LCGs of Fantasy flight, but so far I like netrunner and I'm about to try Lord of the Rings.
That being said, one thing I do know about AEG's handling of the canon of Legend of the Five Rings, was based on deck stylings (like which clan was favored and won), to tell the story of Rokugan. Will FFG continue something of the same?
If so, I'd be more inclined to participate in regular tournaments and make efforts to travel just to see the story unfold.
This is my first posting so forgive me for any mistakes or just not knowing as much as some others may know.
