Starting in 2011 and until 2015, the Legend of the Five Rings Story Team under AEG released a bonus short story every Halloween, which was written by Robert Denton III. Each story was horror-themed to suit the holiday. This tradition continued under Fantasy Flight Games, with Robert Denton III writing three Halloween L5R stories: Better to be Certain in 2017, Small Mercies in 2018, and Trust Me in 2019. In 2020, author D.G. Laderoute wrote the final Halloween story published under Fantasy Flight Games: What Cost a Dream. In 2021 and 2022, Robert Denton III continued to write unofficial L5R Halloween stories, which he posted on his website. In 2023, Aconyte Books released a new Halloween story authored by Robert Denton III on the Legend of the Five Rings website: The Banquet of Starving Ghosts. 
According to an article posted on the Fantasy Flight website, "Legend of the Five Rings has a long history of releasing fiction on Halloween, and that is a tradition we are proud to continue here at Fantasy Flight Games."
