Alderac Entertainment Group Partners with Magnificent Egos To Make L5R Miniatures

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alderac Entertainment is pleased to announce that it is partnering with Magnificent Egos to bring back to market official miniatures based on its popular Legend of the Five Rings (L5R) collectible card game and role playing game lines.

Magnificent Egos plans to re-release the full catalog of miniatures available until recently by August 2006, at the Gen Con Game Fair in Indianapolis. Each month following Magnificent Egos will release a combination of old favorites from the original line, converted and updated figures representing changes in the storyline and advancement in design capabilities, and eventually entirely new characters supporting the ongoing storyline and new RPG releases.

"Magnificent Egos has shown great quality and attention to detail in their miniatures releases. We are excited to have them on board with Legend of the Five Rings and look forward to the great products they will bring to the L5R community," said L5R Brand Manager, Todd Rowland.

"Magnificent Egos is proud to bring this classic line back to the market," said company President Chris Clark. "The fan support for this game and setting, including its unique, fan-driven story, makes this a great license and an exciting project."

Legend of the Five Rings continues to be a top-selling collectible card game after 11 years on the market. L5R has an interactive storyline unique among CCGs which is developed by the players through their actions and choices in deck building. L5R also features the hugely popular L5R 3.0 RPG, and its continuing line of RPG releases.

Magnificent Egos is a Texas-based corporation with a growing line of pewter and resin fantasy figures dedicated to unique characters and creatures. The L5R line joins the Warlord of The Accordlands Line, Magnificent Egos Uncommon Characters; Nightmares and Artifacts and Dweomers along with the official Nodwick and The Gamers: Dorkness Rising lines in Magnificent Egos diverse catalog of high-quality, fantasy miniatures.
