Hey Team Avatar! We’re back for a slightly early update! We’ve been busy getting a lot of great Avatar Legends related content together and had a change to connect with gaming store retailers recently at GAMA Expo! We have some exciting news and a new release! Let’s dive in!
All-Star AP Adventure: An Urgent Request
After much anticipation, the wonderful adventure played in the Avatar Legends All-Star Actual Play is now available to backers! Along with the full adventure for you and your friends to play, An Urgent Request also features a new NPC Legend: Princess Zeisan. Zeisan is the sister of Fire Lord Sozin, and thinks the Fire Nation Royal Family is corrupt; she has been trained by Airbenders and adopted many Airbender philosophies, including those of the Guiding Wind, a rogue Airbender movement that is anti-nobility.
An Urgent Request is an adventure based on the Avatar Legends: All-Star Actual Play, starring Becca Scott, Ify Nwadiwe, Jennie Kwan, Dante Basco, and Gamemaster Lili Sparx! Princess Zeisan, the sister of Fire Lord Sozin, is trying to host a symposium to bring Air Nomad ideals to the Fire Nation nobility in advance of her wedding. But Minister Zianda, working on Fire Lord Sozin’s orders, has set into action a conspiracy to discredit Zeisan and the Airbenders! It’s up to your heroes to stop Zianda and save the symposium! Set in the Roku Era, this adventure is an action-packed race across the Fire Nation Capital, with PCs sent by Air Nomad Sister Rioshon to save Zeisan. The digital booklet includes fully fleshed-out character sheets for each of the PCs in the All-Star Actual Play, as well as NPCs and tools for running the adventure. The core rules are needed to play this adventure.
This adventure is free to all backers of Avatar Legends: the Roleplaying Game, including preorders and late pledges. The adventure will be uploaded to your Backerkit by May 19th. To get your copy of An Urgent Request, please log into Backerkit and access it in your Digital Files. You will also get an email indicating you have new Digital Rewards available from Backerkit!
Free RPG Day
We are excited to announce that this year we’ll be in participating in Free RPG Day! We will have an exciting new adventure, Movers & Shakers, along with black Tui and La dice at participating locations!
Movers & Shakers is a Korra Era adventure set in Republic City! You and your heroic friends have been asked by Bolin to help protect the set of Sengo: Lady of the Winds, the mover acting as a spiritual successor to the Nuktuk franchise! But you’ll have to contend with egos and tensions on-set, just as much as the interference of the Creeping Crystal Triad!
To get your copy, check out the Free RPG Day website, find a local participating retailer, and visit the store on June 24, 2023! For those who are international or unable to attend, we will offer the adventure for purchase at a later date!
Free GM Screen: Extended!
Several of our wonderful backers have reached out to let us know they missed the code date. We appreciate how important getting the GM screen is to you, and so we are extended this special offer to May 14th! Please be sure to get your free GM screen with your preorder of the Republic City physical book before then!
To get your free GM screen, pre-order Republic City and the Avatar Legends GM Screen before May 14th! Just add both Republic City (physical) and the GM screen to your cart, then enter the code TURTLEDUCK at check out and you’ll get one free copy of the GM Screen for each copy of Republic City (or bundle that contains Republic City)!
Now that An Urgent Request is yours, it’s time to wind down the Kickstarter! We will no longer be continuing to post regular monthly updates as we have since we began. We will continue to update you on developments and new products for the Avatar Legends: the Roleplaying Game line here, as many of you have requested we keep you posted!
If you have a customer service issue, such as a damaged product, missing order, lost order, missing files, or other Avatar Legends: the Roleplaying Game Kickstarter issue, please contact our customer service team by using the form or emailing us at [email protected]. We will continue to work to ensure everyone gets their game! Commenting on the Kickstarter or messaging us on the Kickstarter will not reach our team.
If you want to keep in touch with us, you can follow us on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, chat with us on Reddit, or join our newsletter! We have an amazing community of folks on our Discord and love having new voices join! We hope to see you there!
Thanks again for all your support, Team Avatar! Until next time, we hope you have a great May and play awesome games! Yip yip!

Digital Art Pack & Fan-Created Tools License
Many wonderful fans have reached out to ask us for resources for creating their own digital tools, streaming APs, or reviewing of Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game. Our team has been hard at work creating a unique resource toolkit for those of you who want to design your own digital play aids or stream the game!
In addition to these art and streaming resources, we’re also excited to announce that we’ve worked directly with Nickelodeon to release a fan-created tools license for Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game that allows fans to use text from the game to create their own VTTs, character sheets, and more. You can download the license here!
Now that we’ve released the digital assets pack and the fan-created tools license—and backers have access to Demiplane, Role, and Roll20—we will no longer be releasing any digital assets as part of the Kickstarter rewards. We hope you find the best way for you and your group to play Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game together!
Join us at Gen Con!
We’re still looking for amazing GMs to run Avatar Legends with us at Gen Con! Team Magpie will be headed to Gen Con in Indianapolis Indiana this coming August! If you joined us last year, we hope to see you again this year! To that end, we’re looking for GMs to come run Avatar Legends and some of our other incredible games like Root: The RPG, Masks, Bluebeard’s Bride, and more!
All our GMs get an awesome swag package that includes a game of their choice from Magpie Games. If you run 4 or more games, you’ll also get a badge to the convention! If you’re up for volunteering, and want to join Team Magpie, please fill this form out:
We’ve had a few folks who late pledged or preordered reach out to ask when they could get access to the All-Star Actual Play! The public release will be on April 26th via the Avatar Studios Youtube! You’ll be able to watch the video by visiting their Youtube channel. To get notified of when the video drops, subscribe!
The adventure played in the All-Star Actual Play is currently working through the approval process. It will be released to backers, including preorders and late-pledges, via Backerkit, once it’s ready to go! Stay tuned!
Republic City Sneak Peek
We know we mentioned it last time, but preorders for Avatar Legends: Republic City start VERY SOON! To get you excited for this new setting book, we’re giving you a very limited preview of one of the cool new playbooks available in Republic City!
The Outcast was thrown out of their home for their unwillingness to compromise their integrity. Play the Outcast if you want to see things clearly and act on them, while seeking a place where you can fit in.
In Republic City, you’ll find a treasure trove of details on the capital city of the United Republic. Descriptions of its many districts, with attached plot hooks and characters, fill the book’s pages; it’s the perfect tool for those who love the setting and for those who want to set their games in Republic City’s endless possibilities! What’s more, there are write-ups of five legendary NPCs who play roles of special importance in Republic City, including Mako and Bolin! The book also provides mechanics for some of Republic City’s most significant features, including Pro-bending, vehicles, and mecha, as well as three whole new playbooks you can use in any setting and a suite of new techniques. Everything is capped off with an adventure set in Republic City all about the underground tunnel racing scene!
Avatar Legends: Republic City will be our first setting toolkit; it’s got everything you need to bring Republic City to your Korra era campaigns or to add mecha, pro-bending, and more to any other campaign you’re running! Preorders will begin later this month along with a special surprise! We’ll let you know when it launches by posting an update here! Stay tuned!
That’s all for now, friends! We hope you’re having a great April, enjoying playing some great games, and bringing balance to the Avatarverse! Stay flamin’!
