Sure, everyone got a book or PDF... but Marc's still working on the actual, final, playable version, and the player's book is still at least a year off. (Because Marc's not going to do the Player's Book until he finishes T5.1.)There's plenty of room in the industry for Sci-Fi. Mongoose is doing alright (not top 5, but still top 20) with Their version. Dr Who sells well enough, too. And, as Morrus notes, FFG SW is top 3. (And they just surrendered a license for a Space Fantasy line of games....) Not to mention, if one breaks out FFG star Wars into its component lines, they're each still top 10...As for L5R... I fully expect we'll see something announced more for Gen Con. Last I saw on their page, they were planning on an LCG as the lead game, and a reset of the timeline... and for other, linked games.  They did, I'll note, buy the whole property (source: AEG's announcement on the sale), not just the CCG and trademarks. And I found this on the <a href="https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2015/9/11/a-new-emperor-rises/" target="_blank">FFG L5R page</a>:In addition to the new incarnation of the Legend of the Five Rings CCG as a LCG, we are excited to explore new possiblities for Legend of the Five Rings in the roleplaying space. At the current time, we don't have many details about this, but we will reveal more as the details become clear.I would hardly be surprised if they made an L5R edition using their SW engine. But it's not like they don't own 4 other engines to pick from...I expect Modiphius will do rather well with STA, no matter how good or bad the game itself is, as it will grab a lot of casual gamers, too, not unlike Star Wars. And the alpha draft is rough around the edges, but plays well with the right players.</blockquote>
