Building on a style of system similar to Powered by the Apocalypse, Avatar’s RPG system does a lot of fun things to pull in fans of the show and comics. Players are given the chance to pick the style of their character and the sort of spectrum of emotions and destiny that influence them. They are able to pick a variety of abilities that can be built upon as a character progresses, and they are encouraged to explain bonds between themselves and other player characters in the group, after this, they can also figure out the style of bending they utilize (if any because there’s great options for nonbenders as well!), and the character that comes out as a result feels ready to jump into the world. Characters grow with their experience points, and these points can be used to pursue the sort of character that a player is imagining. The game has sourcebooks for many of its different era’s using the Avatar of that era as an indication to the time frame. You can deal with the fractured earth kingdom and the bandit gangs present in the Kyoshi era, you can deal with the approaching war and political turmoil of the Roku era, you can attempt to recover from the hundred years war and face off against the fire nation with the Aang era, and you can experience the growing shifts in the balance of power as technology grows to become more powerful and prevalent in the Korra era. Each of these timelines introduce new bending styles, stories, and locations to make for an adventure that feels unique no matter when the game is set. For Game Masters, the rules can feel a bit complex compared to other games using the Powered by the Apocalypse style. Trackers to determine the emotions and balance of characters can impact the game, and creating scenarios where these things can be shifted is strongly encouraged as the journey of the character seems to be the greatest focus of this system. There are adventure books that exist, but many of them are single session in style leaving you to create the ties to the adventures or to create your own story how you see fit. I would suggest Avatar to anyone that is in love with the series and the setting and that wants a game that is focused more on the character’s journey rather than the fights that they get into.

Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game is a Powered by the Apocalypse system that allows players to explore the world of bending in a way that will make you feel like you are a part of the beloved show. You take on your own role in the world, and adventure through both fun and danger with a cinematic system that easily shares the spotlight while also building in plenty of space for the heart and soul that is so prevalent in the series. And don't be shy about looking out for a cameo or two! With a powerful training system that encourages you to search for a master, you just might run into Toph, Tenzin, or perhaps even the Avatar themselves!

I want the fight sequences to be so much more dynamic that they sometimes are with this system. I'd encourage folks to play fast and loose when you get to combat! A quicker table can make all the difference. But that's just me.
