Avatar Legends Free

[Neomi Bensch]

Mostof my experience as a GM has been playing Pathfinder, which has its roots in D&D. It took a while to notice the pain points, but when I switched over to Avatar Legends, I had to learn and unlearn quite a lot!

There may be times that following the rules as they are explicitly written helps to push the narrative while there may be times that following the spirit of the rules pushes the story in better directions.

In games like D&D you roll a dice to see if you accomplish something, for instance, can I swing my sword at the enemy? Can I convince the statesmen to provide me with the necessary troops to save the King, etc. In other words, your roll determines the results/outcomes,

Rolling the dice in Avatar Legends doesn't have an impact on how good your character is at something. Rolling the dice in Avatar legends helps establish how the world reacts to your character's actions.

As a GM, you want to think about the characters your players have created and the story they have set up. From there you can figure out what tone and themes you want to highlight. Sometimes this happens naturally just based on the way the characters interact with the world, but the GM can also choose to highlight certain themes and genres over others.

On the surface, it's easy to pick up on both the broader fantasy themes as well as the Asian influences that undergird the worldbuilding. You as the GM should rely heavily on these genres. But honestly? The sky's the limit.

Two of my favorite minor genres that The Last Airbender delves into are horror and western/samurai movies. Another big theme of the Avatar-verse is wonderment and playfulness. For this, I enjoy drawing on Miyazaki films for their sense of awe and simplicity.

As an example, in a recent episode of The Flying Bison Podcast, a party member got kidnapped. The rest of the party knew who kidnapped them but that was it. I let them decide whether they wanted to infiltrate the business, go in guns blazing, stalk the business and follow their leader, or whatever else they came up with. Their choices set the story for the next couple of episodes. And the best part? All of it was improvised!

NOTE: If you come to the Awakening School for the first time while school is in session, you will need to complete the school tour, which will include your first battle and purchasing a school uniform. Once you finish the tour, then you will be able to access the lockers to update your teacher avatar.

If you are accessing Awakening after school hours, you will need to go to the Salon in the Town in order to make changes to the physical characteristics of your avatar. To get to the Town, simply hop on the gondola located within the schoolyard.

No matter if you are in the School or Town, you can click on the Backpack icon to modify your avatar's name and outfit. In addition, you can purchase clothing from different vendors around the Town. After doing so, you can click on the Backpack icon in order to use the clothing purchased on your avatar.
