I thought Fantasy Flight Games offloaded their Role Playing Games to Edge Studios? Along with that I would have presumed the Legend of the Five Rings RPG would no longer be marketed with the FFG brand.

Online game stores still list it as from Fantasy Flight and it shows up on the FFG website: Fields of Victory and recent releases.

Small correction: Bones of the Companion is a module, not a deck of cards (presumably a cut-and-paste error from the previous entry).

This is the final FFG release. When they announced the move to EDGE, they specified that any already-announced products would be completed by FFG.

Fixed! Thanks.
