Rules Backward Compatible?

By BrooklynMike, in L5R LCG: Rules Discussion

I have several decks for Lo5R from before FFG's acquisition. Are the rules published by FFG backwards compatible with them?

On another note, is it possible to purchase the tokens / dial / etc. separately so I can ease into the new cards?

Sadly the old AEG game is not compatible with the FFG version

Some of the art is the same!

The tokens/dials and such come as cardboard standard in the box, so you cannot buy separately, unless you find someone selling it like that on Ebay. If you want to ease into it, find a local store near you playing it, show up to a game night, and ask to be taught how to play.
