Avatar just passed Strongholds and Streaming at $2,121,465, making it the #1 Tabletop RPG Kickstarter.

This just proves that given sufficient marketing, hype and the right franchise, a non-5e game can top the charts

I suppose the saying is true: a rising tide does indeed lift all ships.

Avatar just passed Strongholds and Streaming at $2,121,465, making it the #1 Tabletop RPG Kickstarter.

So it started yesterday at 10am PDT (?) and around 8pm PDT (?) tonight it became the biggest RPG Kickstarter.

That's what...34 hours.

Damn.

Now what about backers? As of now it's at 18,213. Which puts it in the #3 spot. Behind Colville's two Kickstarters with 19,033 for Kingdoms & Warfare and 28,918 for Strongholds & Followers. It shouldn't take long to beat the first one. At the rate it's been going, it might not take too long to beat the second. Best of luck you mad ladies and lads.

It helps that the studio has a solid pedigree, as well. Bluebeard's Bride is pretty popular, and Masks might be the best designed PbtA hack I've ever played.

That still doesn't explain a lot. I mean, Magpie is good, but it certainly isn't Fria Ligan, in terms of RPG design recognition.

Some KS get unexplainable, awesome magic behind them and this is the best example ever in the RPG category.

It may reach 3million before most people in the us wake up!

Honestly I think Avatar is just that popular with both older and younger people... and honestly the setting info would be great even if you're not a fan of PbtA... I wouldn't be surprised if this is getting grabbed up by gamers and collectors alike. I doubt I'll run it using PbtA (or whether I'll run it at all) but I definitely kickstarted as it's a media property me, my son and my nephews/nieces watched together and it holds a ton of sentimental value/nostalgia for us.

I have seen a few people on like /r/thelastairbender who seemed to think it was a video game so there might be some backers with that misconception as well

You’d think the mention of dice and PDFs would be a clue.
