#Avatar the last airbender swords series#

Both series tended towards the dramatic and the whimsical at different points, and a system that only allowed grim, wartorn sagas would do players a disservice. Groups will first have to decide which era of the Avatar universe they want to experience, each facilitating different kinds of stories.

This provides new roleplayers a familiar framework in which to imagine play - the drama and adventure of a 22-minute episode can be easily spread into a two or three-hour session at the table. Groups are explicitly encouraged to consider each session and its larger campaign as if they are episodes comprising a season of the animated show. One of the standout features of the digital preview is its understanding of Avatar and KorraвЂ™s storytelling structure. Avatar Legends: The RPG is very much a beginner-friendly title that leverages the strength of the source material in ways that will delight older hands. They will be harder to impress - officially licensed games tend to carry the stigma of being bland, mass-appeal cash-ins, or else seizing on trends that were popular in the hobby at least five years ago.ДЄfter spending some time reading - and playing - Avatar LegendsвЂ™ freely available quickstart rules, it seems as though the team at Magpie are well on their way to creating an experience that could please both camps. Seasoned dice-rollers, on the other hand, know MagpieвЂ™s bag of tricks from previous releases, such as Root: The RPG and Masks: A New Generation.

Fans of the animated series, whose tabletop roleplaying experience likely begins and ends with Dungeons & Dragons, may balk at the looser, fiction-forward nature of Avatar LegendsвЂ™ Powered by the Apocalypse-inspired ruleset. It was then no surprise that Magpie GamesвЂ™ official tabletop RPG, Avatar Legends, met with immediate excitement when it launched a Kickstarter campaign earlier this month.ДЄnticipation can be a double-edged sword. Both Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra demanded the imagination of their audiences, from the elemental bending and its evocative physical portrayal to the cultures and societies of the four governing nations.
