Got this email today. I will admit I am intrigued...



A New RPG in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra!
Magpie Games has secured a multi-year licensing agreement with ViacomCBS Consumer Products to produce a tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of Nickelodeon’s animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.

This roleplaying game is a unique opportunity for fans of the show to return to a beloved setting—this time as the heroes of the story! Rising to meet their destiny, players will make characters using playbooks—templates that help players build and play compelling protagonists in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra.

Together they might protect local merchants from the Triple Threat Triad in Republic City, travel through a spirit portal to rescue a child taken into the Spirit World, negotiate peace between feuding communities within the Earth Kingdom, or pursue mysteries (and villains) that arise throughout their adventures!

They have a link to learn more if you're interested. You can find out more here https://www.magpiegames.com/2021/02/03/new-rpg-set-in-world-of-avatar-tla-tlok/?mc_cid=1e4ba2c8ae&mc_eid=4dbbb17c70

Cool setting, cool story.

Magpie games...

I am betting they forget mechanics.

Not some...all mechanics.

I thought Powered by the Apocalypse was their schtick. (Not really a huge fan of it, but I am interested to see what they do with it).

That is pretty much mechanics free.

They're also producing a Dragon Prince RPG

When you said Dragon Prince I wondered if it was that faux-anime that's on netflix, and yup it sure is. I thought it had lots of potential, but after an episode or two I just kind of forgot about it. May have to try to revisit.

I couldn't figure out why/how I'd gotten on Magpie's radar, but when I went to the link Sam provided, I remembered. They do the new Cortex game too (or at least they're the distributors, I backed the kickstarter).

I just got an email about the Avatar RPG Quickstart rules...it's 55 pages

I just backed the Kickstarter. It's at $7.7 million with 3 days left. Even if we already got all the mechanics with the 55 page quickstart book, it will still be nice for background research.

Different game, but totally 7th Sea adjacent, The Dee Sanction. The quickest pitch I can make for it. Queen Elizabeth Tudor is beset by enemies. Enemies who would do anything to bring her low. So, with few allies she turns to those who've been convicted of various unsavory crimes, dealing with the devil, sorcery, murder, and the like. In exchange for their lives, they must help her deal with these enemies...

Yup, it's Queen Elizabeth's Suicide Squad.

There's a kickstarter going to make a physical copy of their adventures (and you can buy the rest of the books there too).
