Legend of the Burning Sands



Legend of the Burning Sands (LBS) was a collectible card game (CCG) published by Five Rings Publishing Group in 1998. It was a spin-off from the earlier CCG Legend of the Five Rings which was set in the same fictional world as Legend of the Five Rings, with a few characters appearing in both games. Both games had similar mechanics and emphasized a continuing storyline. Everything in the game centered on Medinaat al-Salaam, the Jewel of the Desert, a sprawling city where different factions vied for control. Legend of the Burning Sands included 12 different factions: The Ashalan, Ivory Kingdoms, Assassins, Ra'Shari, Senpet, Yodatai, Celestial Alliance, Jackals, Ebonites, Moto, Dahab and Qabal.

Sets
The first three Legend of the Burning Sands sets were released under FRPG's experimental Rolling Thunder system, which emphasized small, regular releases of cards. The Rolling Thunder distribution mechanism proved to be unpopular, however, so the game was put on hiatus. After six months, the game's massive conclusion set, The Awakening, was released, but interest in the game had already faded significantly. Sales were poor, and most of the stock was destroyed rather than being warehoused.
