Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game

Avatar Legends is the official roleplaying game set across the eras of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. You play as young or seasoned heroes finding their place between duty and desire in a world of bending arts, acrobatics, and stubborn politicians. People love it for its heart: your crew grows, your beliefs are tested, and every victory feels earned. Non-benders shine too, using training, gadgets, and guts. It welcomes newcomers and satisfies veterans, families, and anime-loving groups.

A session feels like an episode. Light banter and training, a problem that spirals, then a daring plan and a fast, cinematic showdown. Our Game Masters adjust the tone you want, from goofy travel to tense Republic City intrigue or spirit world mystery. It works for one-shots, ongoing campaigns, birthdays, and company teams, in person or online. Ready to explore ideas and dates? Browse our Game Masters.

How to play Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game

You roll two six-sided dice and add an approach that fits what you are doing, such as Focus or Passion. Moves trigger from the story, from defending a friend to tricking a rival. On a 10 or higher, you achieve what you wanted. On a 7 to 9, you succeed but with a cost or a choice. On a 6 or lower, the situation shifts, and the Game Master introduces new trouble. Action scenes unfold as exchanges where you select techniques to inflict conditions, protect allies, or shift the balance.

Players bring a character playbook, a bending or martial style, and a sense of what matters to them. You define ties within the team and the principles that guide you. The Game Master provides the world, NPCs, stakes, rules support, and safety tools, and keeps the camera moving. One-shots favour quick builds, a tight mission, and a striking set piece. Campaigns introduce downtime, evolving bonds, and larger arcs. Playing online is straightforward with video chat and a shared tabletop; see the overview of online play platforms.

Common questions

Do we need to know the shows or the rules to get started?

No prior knowledge is necessary. A professional Game Master introduces the setting and explains the rules as you play, at a comfortable pace. The system is light and conversation-driven, allowing you to focus on choices and teamwork rather than memorising mechanics. Fans of the shows will recognise familiar cultures and themes, but newcomers will fit right in. You can create a character quickly with a guided questionnaire, or opt for a ready-to-play option if you prefer to dive straight into the story.

What group size is ideal and how long does a session last?

For Avatar Legends, 2 to 5 players works well. Four players is the ideal number for lively scenes and consistent spotlight. Duos are great for mentor and student stories or a detective-style pair. Sessions typically run 120 to 180 minutes. A compact 2-hour one-shot covers all the key moments, while 3 hours allows for more character interactions and a bigger finale. With five players, expect slightly longer action exchanges and brief breaks between scenes to keep everyone refreshed.

How is Avatar Legends different from D&D?

Avatar Legends is more narrative-driven than D&D. You select a playbook that reflects your role and values, rather than a lengthy list of class abilities. Moves are resolved with a single roll that stems from the story, allowing scenes to progress without tactical grids or measuring distances. Combat occurs as exchanges where you choose techniques and impose conditions, keeping the action swift and character-centric. Progression focuses on tested beliefs and relationships instead of loot. It is straightforward to learn, yet still provides significant choices and teamwork.

Can I play a non-bender and still be helpful?

Absolutely. Non-benders excel through training, clever tools, and courage. Think of martial artists, inventors, strategists, or a quick-witted diplomat. Techniques such as disarming, creating openings, or protecting allies are just as important as raw power. A professional Game Master designs challenges that reward both benders and non-benders, from tense negotiations to chases and creative stunts. You will have equal opportunity and meaningful ways to influence the story, whether you wield a boomerang, a toolkit, or simply a sharp mind.

In which eras can we set our story?

You can set your story in the eras of Aang or Korra, or even earlier, like Kyoshi or Roku. Each era offers a unique flavour, from the intrigue of Republic City to road trips through the Earth Kingdom or mysteries in the Spirit World. Let the Game Master know the vibe you're aiming for, and they will prepare suitable locations, NPCs, and stakes. If you already have a preferred era or concept, you can browse available Game Masters and mention it when you get in touch.

Is it appropriate for children and groups with varying levels of experience?

Yes. The game features clear playbooks and straightforward moves, allowing new and younger players to join without any stress. A professional Game Master adjusts the tone and stakes to suit your group, ensuring the action remains exciting but not grim, while employing safety tools to check comfort as you progress. It also accommodates mixed experience tables well, as scenes concentrate on teamwork and character choices. To select a facilitator whose style aligns with your group, see GM playstyles.

What players have to say

  • Tom was brilliant! He was really great with the kids and very patient with his explanations. It was a wonderful evening and definitely worth doing again! The children asked the next day when we would be doing this again.

    Danny

  • First of all, I want to say that Sebastian was really great as a DM. For his first run as a booked DM, he did an excellent job. The 3 stars refer to the following: 1. We were disappointed that the adventure was labelled a One Shot yet wasn't a complete story. Discovering that there are two more parts wasn't very positive for us, as it meant there was no satisfying conclusion to the story. 2. As new players, it was difficult for us to understand the English character sheets in such a short time. In German, it would have been much easier. Even receiving the character sheets a few days in advance would have been helpful for preparation. 3. More guidance would be beneficial. Especially for beginners, a more linear one shot would have been preferable. We wasted a significant portion of the adventure time doing unnecessary things because we didn't fully understand how the game worked. Overall, I think the StoryForgers concept is really good and I see a lot of potential in it, especially for introducing new players to D&D. I hope you don't take my feedback the wrong way but see it as honest criticism. Best regards, Mario

    Mario

  • Bryan was exceptional. We had a group with varying levels of experience, and he managed to keep everyone engaged and involved. His positive attitude made the game enjoyable for all. I really appreciated how he could clearly explain what was needed from our less experienced players while keeping our more seasoned players on their toes with his deep knowledge of the game. Everyone in our party had a fantastic time thanks to Bryan.

    Jeremy

  • Dayron was fantastic. Well-prepared, punctual, and had a brilliant sense of humour.

    Corey

    The Merry Meeple

  • The game was really engaging. I got a game as a present for my boyfriend, who is very keen on it, and he was very pleased and appreciated Leonardo's professionalism. I don't have much experience with DnD, but I found the game to be quite straightforward and enjoyable.

    Marina

  • Baptiste was an excellent GM who adapted well to our group and helped us progress in this one-shot. However, there was one issue with the character sheets provided, as they were not complete or clear. Some of the French translations were rather approximate. For instance, our cleric was missing spells, including a healing spell, even though they were meant to have some.

    Pierre

  • Rachel was fantastic; my daughter and her friends left the game saying it was the most fun they’d ever had, and my daughter wanted to sign up for another session with her straight away. She was friendly, and her approach let the players fully immerse themselves in the game by giving them control over how they wanted their actions to unfold. I would definitely work with her again.

    John

  • A nice and clear first experience with D&D. Amber was able to explain and guide the game effectively, allowing us as players to quickly get into the flow and focus on the story. Collaborating with my colleagues to devise attack routes was an enjoyable activity and provided great insights into each other's characters, thought processes, and differences. Overall, I found it to be a very enjoyable session.
