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.

I would presume that metal-bending comes under Earth-bending. The game also has a concept of what era you are playing in, so metal-bending may only be available in the Korra Era.

You are correct on both parts.

Agreed completely....HOWEVER....avoid the movie of several years ago!

There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
There is no live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie.

I bought into it at the 75$ level yesterday, I'm so excited, especially with all of the extras this is getting through stretch goals. I like Masks for the most part, and this game apart from being a franchise I really like, solves one of my biggest problems with that game (which I do like)-- the fact that it doesn't have an explicit combat structure, making combat scenes feel hard to run in a satisfying way. I'm looking forward to seeing how the exchanges and techniques play out in this system.

Edit: Don't forget you can sign up for the quickstart rules here to check out the system.

Though, the "Aang" era takes place after the post-show comics a few years after the show, so its possible Toph is already spreading it by that point too.

She starts her Metalbending academy in The Promise which is the first post-show comic, Aang era takes place after Imbalance which is around 2 years later I believe

So yup, we have two years worth of new metal benders, it would be the 100 year war, Roku, and Kyoshi eras that don't have them.

Who would believe this today, my childhood friend , Abdulkareem, introduced me to the Legend of Korra over 15 years ago now. He is not a table top player so here is my chance to introduce him to this Million Dollar RPG today.

Is this the first PbtA game to hit $1million? If so, that is huge news..

I'm an idiot when it comes to figuring out tabletop sales, but once the campaign funds it feels like it's also going to be the bestselling PbtA game to date, right? As hugely influential as many PbtA and adjacent games are I can't imagine they hit these kinds of numbers.

 

[overgeeked]

That’s insane. Good for them.

It's currently the third biggest ever TTRPG Kickstarter, and climbing that chart rapidly!
