‘Avatar Legends’ Is Kickstarting Now – Get In On The Avatar The Last Airbender RPG
The world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra comes to your tabletop in an brand-new RPG kickstarting now.
Long ago the four nations lived in harmony. Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
That’s the iconic beginning that introduced audiences to a whole new world of elemental magic, martial-arts empowered heroes, and a struggle that spanned a hundred years in Avatar: the Last Airbender. Not long after came The Legend of Korra, which introduced a whole new spin on things, bringing the world of bending into the future with organized sports, Sato-mobiles, and a series that took a bit to get going but once it did, it was real good.
Now you can play in that world for yourself, across multiple different eras–ones seen not only in the animated TV shows, but in the accompanying novels and graphic novels as well. Are you curious what life was like in the distant past long before Avatar Aang was a boy, when the world was still taking shape alongside Avatars like Kyoshi?
That’s in here. As is the future of the world, you can play in the not too distant future of Republic City if you like a little steam to go along with your punk. All of this comes to a new tabletop roleplaying game coming from Magpie Games and Viacom: Avatar Legends – The Roleplaying Game.
Magpie Games is excited to bring you Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game, the officially licensed tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra! With over a decade of roleplaying design and publishing expertise, Magpie Games has created an innovative system that brings the world of the Four Nations to life in a tabletop roleplaying game that captures the heart of the Avatar franchise: balance, heroism, and the power of friendship.
Avatar Legends: The RPG is a heroic fantasy game set in the universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra in which you and your friends take on the role of young heroes from across the Four Nations who have joined together to make the world a better place. It’s a game for people of all ages who want to look at the world beyond the scope of the existing stories and explore the meaningful actions heroes take for the good of others.
Above all, however, it’s a game about balance. Your hero fights for balance in the world, but also wrestles with maintaining balance within while trying to achieve the goals they’ve set for themselves. The villains of Avatar Legends: The RPG are never simply monsters, never mere antagonists who must be struck down by blasts of fire; they are instead people with their own desires, personal struggles, and goals, no matter how misguided.
Thus, achieving true balance isn’t easy. Whether you play a bender, martial artist, merchant, or craftsperson, you’re constantly being pulled between two important principles in your life as you face problems in the world. If you delve too deeply into one or the other—forgiveness over action, force over care, tradition over progress—it throws you off-balance, and you must work to regain your composure and sense of self.
Luckily, you’re not alone in this journey. Together with your fellow heroes, you’ll soar on the backs of flying bison, defeat devious foes, and discover the true meaning of balance…perhaps even help to save the world!
Inside the game book you’ll find four different eras as well as rules for playing everything from a heroic bender and master of martial arts, to an engineer trying to navigate a world of bending, even a humble cabbage merchant if that’s what suits your flavor. The game is built on the back of Powered by the Apocalypse rules to recreate different playbooks that let you emulate characters and moments from the series.
The combat system has been revamped, borrowing from Masks if you’re familiar with that, to bring you rules that make fights feel like you’re participating in a battle that ebbs and flows. And at the heart of it all, you can call on your relationships and principles and friends to make the fighting dramatic and meaningful every time.
As of now, the Kickstarter has blazed through its stretch goals raising over $900,000 at press time, and will likely shoot up into the millions before all is said and done. You can find a pledge to match whatever you’re hoping to get out of the Kickstarter, including the special “Otter-Penguin” which provides you with a discount on all stretch goals exclusive to Kickstarter. So back now while you can!
