This RPG is very simple to learn and play. You will need your playbook (character sheet), 2 -6 sided dice, and a pencil.
I will teach you how to play the game as we move through the story.

Sometime in the morning, before the final match of the Spring Pro-Bending Tournament Qualifier, First Gentleman  Varrick took a break from the Presidential Box to stretch his legs (his exact words: “I’m going to go stretch my legs!”). He never returned. His security searched the area but found no trace of the First Gentleman. Rather than alarm the citizenry, they took the matter to President Moon. The President has asked your group of help in finding Verrick. Who took him and why?

This  game includes themes similar to those found in the Nickelodeon shows Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. You will play as a character in this world.  Your choices will decide how your character grows and learns in the game. You can play as an Air Bender, Water Bender, Earth Bender, Fire Bender, Weapon Specialist, or Inventor.  Your play book will determine what moves you can make in the game.

This game is brand new (just published January 2023) and all players are learning how to play the game. Questions during game play are encouraged. I will teach you how to play the game as we move through the story.


The group will choose what happens in the game.  

Avatar Legends is designed as a highly cooperative game, including during the character creation process. Each player will choose one  playbook. (character sheets). Each playbook (character sheet) will explain what your character can do in the game.


Avatar Legends and other Powered by the Apocalypse games are  rules lite and easy to play. I will send you the playbooks (character sheet) as well as the rules reference before your first game.

Everything your character can do will be on your playbook (character sheet) you will not need any player handbooks or other resources other than 2 six sided dice and a pencil. I do recommend a note book, stick notes, note cards, or paper to take notes on during game play but these are optional 

There can only be one type of each playbook per group. For example only one hammer and one icon.  When you join the class I will send a list of available playbooks.  Please choose one and print it out before your first class.

The playbook choices are:

1. The Bold: a charming adventurer who knows they are greater than others assume, striving to show their worth. Their balance principles are Loyalty vs. Confidence.

2. The Guardian: described as a protector and defender, devoted to others and perhaps to their own detriment. Their balance principles are Self-Reliance vs Trust

3. The Hammer:  a fighter, looking to solve problems by smashing them, even when that might not be the right solution. Their balance principles are Force vs. Care.

4. The Icon:  a chosen figure of an ancient tradition, except to carry forward the duties of their role regardless of what they want. Their balance principles are Role vs. Freedom.

5. The Idealist: survivor of some terrible harm, now struggling to maintain hope and a belief in the good of the world and others. Their balance principles are Forgiveness vs. Action

6. The Successor: the inheritor of a massively powerful legacy, known all over, with its own dark history. Their balance principles are Tradition vs. Progress

7. The Rogue
A vagabond who has struggled to survive—they’ve never felt they belonged, and they’ve become a rebel and a troublemaker to make it. Their balance principles are Friendship vs. Survival.

10. The Prodigy
An extraordinarily capable practitioner of their training, but that tends to make them a bit too arrogant and isolated. Their balance principles are Excellence vs. Community.
