A friend has their kickstarter and was planning on running it at the FLGS. I gotta figure out if my schedule can handle one more game.

And Rob Wieland has one. They did an unboxing in instagram.

Pirates of Crimson Sales??

EDIT: Ah it’s corrected now. Sails. That makes far more sense.

 

[Parmandur]

What an age we live in.

I kickstarted this, pretty excited about it. But I want to play, not run, but so do the others interested in it. If I run it, it's going to have to wait until my current campaign is over.

It looks quite good.

The KS update mentioned that it's a timed Target exclusive. At some point in the next couple months you can get it at other places.
As for what this has that's new to people who backed the Kickstarter:

Two new adventures, one set in the Aang Era and one in the Korra Era.
Ten d6 with Tui and La as the 6 side.
Free Avatar Nexus code that unlocks this content.

Stuff that's included that I already have but liked:
More stance cards
10 pre-gens for the adventures, five for each
Six reference cards listing a quick summary of the basic moves, the combat stances, and other important rules.

Target is doing great with these exclusives…2 D&D related and now this one. Nice!

Bad Eye Adam from Demiplane found one.

I'm a bit torn on this. On the one hand, TTRPGs go mainstream. That's both good and bad, yes, but I think mostly good.

On the other hand, some kid is going to get this for their birthday, get all exited, and then they'll find out that you can't really learn how to play TTRPGs just from reading a short rulebook... and that you need at least 3 other people to do it... and that they have to get together for 4+ hours at least every other week or so, etc.

Pirates of Crimson Sales??

Gimmie some of dat Blood Money baby!

On the second part, it will be the kids first lesson in reading the box label and understanding that it clearly has labels showing the game involves 3-4 players for 3-4 hours. But then again from childhood days, I purchased plenty of games for groups mainly for the reading material enjoyment.,.if they buy it cause of the show, I’m sure their imagination just went into overdrive and starts asking friends that watch the show to play.

I mean, this is not really different from the D&D Starter Set that is already on the shelves. I guess the difference might be that some parent buys it thinking it's a board game rather than an RPG and the kid doesn't know what they're getting, but to be fair stories like that happened back in the 80s when D&D Basic Sets were being sold on mainstream retailer shelves too.

Kids who love Avatar will do the work. I mentioned this game to a classroom I was speaking to about D&D and I saw half the classes eyes light up. Airbending and D&D? Together??? Minds were blown.

Also, they can google actual plays to help them figure it out. Magpie even has one coming out featuring some of the original voice actors.

I feel like a kid getting a rpg boxed set from relatives who thought it was a board game has been happening since at least the early 80's.

It's likely in the same location as the D&D stuff, which is the board game section. If a kid is looking in that section then I'd say there is a good chance that they'll know they need more than one person.
