Avatar Legends: The RPG

This section contains all of the game's playbooks, as well as advice for each playbook’s moves, features, and story arcs. The advice helps expand on the core ideas of each playbook, setting you up for success without demanding you always take the same course, in addition to mechanics advice on the particular moves and features of these playbooks. Remember that each player in the game should use a different playbook.

Each game begins with your group picking an era as the backdrop for your game. The eras are each tied to the span of an Avatar’s life—except for the Hundred Year War era during which Avatar Aang was frozen—and focuses on distinct themes which define the type of game you play.

Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game is a heroic adventure game set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. This world is a fantasy setting inspired by Asian and North American Indigenous cultures, a land filled with breathtaking landscapes, majestic hybrid beasts, and unique marvels of technology and industry. Yet, it is also a world defined by struggle in which there are no absolute villains or perfect heroes&mdash;only people with complex motivations who come into conflict with others while striving to forge a future they believe is best.&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;ve never played a tabletop roleplaying game before, welcome! Starting a new hobby can feel daunting, but everything you need to learn how to play is included right here in this book, including how to make your heroes and tell amazing stories in the Avatarverse. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to jump in and get started; the best way to learn how to roleplay is to try it out for yourself!
This booklet is a guide and primer on the full rules of Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game. Here, you&rsquo;ll find the advice and tools you need to play through a couple of sessions of the game, but if you want to extend your game you should look into the full core book. The focus of this booklet is to get you playing as quickly as possible!
