The Setup: Hey there, Wren here, and I’m looking for a few players to join an Avatar Legends campaign I’m hosting Bi-Weekly on Wednesdays between 9:00 am - 3:00 pm PST. (That’s 5-11 pm BST or 12-6 pm EST.) The exact time is still to be decided but will fall within that range for an estimate of 3-4 hours of gameplay. I’m looking for mature, fun players who love all things Avatar. Whether you’re new to the Powered by the Apocalypse system or a veteran, you’re welcome to join, even if you don’t have access to the Avatar Legends content. This will be a shorter campaign, focused on character-driven stories set during the End of the Roku Era. Who am I?: I’m Wren, I’ve been a DM for 6 years, mostly running 5E campaigns, but I’ve been eager to dive into Avatar Legends for a while now. After building up some confidence with the help of some friends, I’m ready to give it a shot. I know PBTA is different from 5E, but I’m excited to learn and grow with the system as we play. My DM style is a mix of “rule of cool” and “rules as written.” If something makes sense and pushes the story forward, I’ll likely allow it, but the rules are there to keep things balanced. I’m pretty laid-back, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! Why Choose Avatar as a Setting?: The world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra has captivated hearts across generations for its balance between heartwarming stories and the exploration of deeper and somber themes. From Aang’s struggle with accepting his role as the Avatar to Korra’s battles with identity and legacy, the series teaches us that being a hero isn’t always about winning but about making hard choices and growing from them. What makes Avatar’s world unique is the rich diversity of cultures, the power of elemental bending, and its portrayal of true friendship, courage, and loss. Whether it's Iroh’s wisdom in “Leaves from the Vine” or Zuko’s redemption arc, the storytelling doesn’t shy away from tragedy but handles it with grace, reminding us of the hope that can always rise from pain. By setting our game in this universe, we invite players to be a part of this timeless world—a place where joy is as palpable as struggle, and where your choices can have a meaningful impact on the story and your characters. And of course, while we’re diving deep into meaningful storytelling, please keep in mind that having fun is still our top priority. Every session should be filled with laughter, camaraderie, and enjoyment as we explore this world together. What is Avatar Legends?: Avatar Legends is an officially licensed tabletop RPG that captures the spirit of the beloved TV series. The game uses a Powered by the Apocalypse system, which emphasizes storytelling and character development through dynamic, narrative-driven mechanics. The core of the system revolves around Balance, a mechanic that reflects each character’s inner conflict between two opposing ideals (like Self-Reliance vs. Trust). Every action you take nudges your character’s balance, influencing their behavior and choices over time. You don’t just play a bender or warrior, you explore who your character is at their very core. Another key feature is the Conditions system. Instead of hit points, characters accumulate conditions like Afraid, Angry, or Insecure, which impact their decisions and capabilities in combat and social situations. It’s a unique way to reflect the emotional weight that conflicts often carry in the world of Avatar. Together, these mechanics emphasize storytelling, emotional depth, and character growth, making Avatar Legends a perfect system for those who love narrative-driven gameplay. What I’m Looking for in my Players: I’m seeking 3 players who are as passionate about the Avatar universe as I am. Here are some qualities I value: - Punctuality & Commitment: Showing up on time and sticking with the campaign for the long haul is important. I want to create a group that can journey through this world together from start to finish. - Roleplay Initiative: This campaign will thrive on character interactions and the choices you make. I’m looking for players who enjoy diving deep into their characters and exploring their personal stories. - Friendliness & Non-Bigotry: We’re here to have fun and build something great together. Kindness, respect, and inclusivity are key. If you harbor any sort of prejudice or discrimination, this is not the game for you. - Love for Avatar: Finally, I want players who share a genuine love for the Avatar universe—whether it’s from nostalgia for ATLA, admiration for TLOK, or excitement about exploring new stories within the world. How do I sign up?: If you’d like to apply for this campaign please shoot me a direct message and tell me about yourself including the following information: Name (User or whatever you go by) along with your Discord tag Gender and Pronouns Age (This could be an estimate like mid 20s etc) Time Zone and Time Frame availability relative to what’s mentioned above Familiarity on Avatar Legends or the PBTA system What you liked about Avatar and it’s influence on you as person 2 sample characters you’d like to play Something about yourself and why we should pick you! :) (This is optional) Thank you so much for reading this far!
