Hey, Team Avatar! It’s been an exciting month at Magpie Games HQ and we’re thrilled to share all the cool news with you! Grab your flying sky-bison and let’s go!
Shipping Updates
We’re so delighted to say we have shipping dates for you! Many of the accessories—dice, maps, etc—have reached our fulfillment partners, and the books are getting packed onto boats and shipping in the next few weeks. This schedule means shipping to backers will begin in November and December! You should be getting your rewards just before the winter holidays this year!
As shipping will begin in November, it means we will be closing Backerkit on September 30th. Please update your shipping address before September 30th on Backerkit. To access your Backerkit, please go to https://avatarrpg.backerkit.com/.
If you have any issues accessing your Backerkit, please email us at [email protected]. If you need to update your shipping address after September 30th, you’ll need to email us directly.
We’ll have more information about shipping in our next update and what to expect from the process!
Preorders & Public PDF Release
Now that we have the shipping information we’ve been waiting for, we’re excited to be opening preorders for Avatar Legends! Preorders will begin on October 12. Once preorders are open, we’ll share the news on social media, in our newsletters, and in our October update. Fans who missed the Kickstarter will be able to preorder the PDF through DriveThruRPG and physical copies (with free PDFs) through our webstore.
Actual Play & Digital Tools
The final cut of the Actual Play is currently in the approvals process! This means it’ll likely be available to backers in November or December. Once the approvals process is over, we’ll have a more concrete delivery date for you!
In October, we’ll be going live with the digital tools for Avatar Legends: The RPG. In the next update, we’ll be able to tell you all about our amazing partners! All backers will be given access to the digital tools when they go live and we will post instructions on how to gain access in our October update! We’re so excited that we’re so close to delivering this amazing way for you to play online with your friends!
Thank you for being amazing backers, team Avatar! We’re so excited to be heading into delivery and getting games to you! We’ll be back next month with more information and updates on how shipping is going! Stay flamin’!

Happy August, Team Avatar! We are back from Gen Con with another update for you amazing folks! We hope you’ve been having an amazing summer and we can’t wait to share what all has been happening at Magpie Games HQ!
Printing & Product Updates
We’ve recently heard from our book printer and are absolutely thrilled to say that things are moving well! We are on schedule! We realize that’s not as exciting as the printing being done, but we are beyond excited that nothing is further delayed and that printing is going beautifully.
All of the accessories for the game have shipped out! We should be receiving them soon and then will share pictures of them once they reach our warehouses. From there we will be waiting on the books to send you your amazing Avatar Legends packages!
We should receive more solid shipping dates for the books before our next update, and once we have them we will let everyone know. Once we have solid dates, we will send an email saying it’s time to ship and lock down Backerkit. To that end, please remember to update your Backerkit if you have moved or will be moving soon. We will let you know soon the cut-off date for updating your Backerkit!
If you have any issues accessing your Backerkit, please email us at [email protected].
Preorders & PDF Release
We have many excited folks following these updates eager to get ahold of the PDF or get in on some preorders. Right now, PDF releases will be closely tied to when the product begins shipping, which means later this year. Preorders will also open then. We will announce this on the Kickstarter, our newsletter, and via social media.
If you have a friend or nemesis who is eager to get the game, let them know it’ll be the end of this year and to follow us to get notified!
Actual Play & VTT
We’re excited to say that the All-Star Actual Play is nearly done editing. Once it’s done, the video will be sent in for approvals. Once it’s through approvals, we’ll begin the process of uploading it to send to you!
Right now our VTT is still in development. We have explored a few avenues and will have more details in the coming months for everyone. This has been a long process but things are looking great and once we can give you more details, we will!
Thank you to Our Gen Con GMs
Many of you signed up to run Avatar Legends with us at Gen Con. We are thrilled to say that because of our amazing GMs, we ran over 300 games at the convention! Hundreds of people got to play in one of the incredible Avatar Legends games we hosted!
A huge shout out and thank you to those amazing GMs for running hours of games and being excellent GMs! We couldn’t have done it without you! We hope everyone is recovering and taking time to rest after such an epic weekend!
As always, thank you for your support, excitement, and enthusiasm! We know waiting can be frustrating and we feel it too! We’re very excited about how close we’re getting! Have a great end of summer and we’ll be back next month to give you news about all things Avatar Legends! Yip yip!
Actual Play & Printing Updates

– Fri, Jul 15, 2022 at 07:06:27 AM
Hey, Team Avatar! It’s time for our July update and we are excited to dig in and talk about all the cool stuff happening over at Magpie Games HQ! Here are all the updates we have on the project, including news on printing and the All-Star Actual Play!
All-Star Actual Play Updates
We’re super excited to announce that the filming for the All-Star Actual Play has finished and it’s off to editing to make it a beautiful, seamless video! Our very own Lili Sparx, one of our Curated Play Program GMs, ran an amazing game for an all-star cast of incredible players!
We were so excited to work with the epic Avatarverse alums Jennie Kwan (Suki in Avatar: the Last Airbender) and Dante Basco (Zuko in Avatar: the Last Airbender) as well as the ever lovely Becca Scott (Good Time Society, South Park)! To round out our party of heroes, we also invited the incredible Ify Nwadiwe (Critical Role) to join the group!
You may notice there was a change of cast from the original Kickstarter announcement; Satine Phoenix will no longer be involved in the project.
This all-star cast for the AP did a fantastic job of diving into Avatarverse and played an epic game! We can’t wait for you to see the results! While the video has been shot, it’s going to take a while for it to go through editing and be finalized. Once that work is done, we’ll have a much clearer date on when it will be released to you and then available to non-backers!
Here are some great shots we got during filming! The adventure they played, An Urgent Request, will be put into a PDF exclusive adventure for backers! That will be available when the video is released!
The All-Star Team: Becca Scott, Ify Nwadiwe, Dante Basco, Jennie Kwan, and GM Lili Sparx!

Our CEO, Mark Diaz Truman, with Jennie Kwan and Dante Basco!
Here’s a peek at what An Urgent Request adventure is all about:
The renowned Air Nomad Rioshon has uncovered a plot to discredit Princess Zeisan and her Air Nomad teachings! However, the nun and the princess have a past and Rioshon can’t just go to Zeisan and tell her about the plot. Instead, she enlists the help of the heroes to warn the princess and foil whatever nefarious plot their enemies have planned.
Printing Updates & Play Materials
We are delighted to announce printing has begun! The proofing stage is complete and our printer is beginning the enormous task of printing all of these amazing books! We have mentioned previously this will take several months and that still holds true. This is simply due to the sheer volume of books we’re printing. As our printer progresses through the order, they’ll let us know a shipping estimate which we will share with you!
The printer-friendly play materials are now available for you in Backerkit! This includes all the playbooks from both books and the additional play materials, like GM materials! You can grab all of these play materials via Backerkit, the same way you did for the original play materials. For ease of access, you can always log in to Backerkit and then use this link to see your Digital Rewards that are currently available:
Once we get close to shipping, we will post an update asking you to finalize your Backerkit. This will be your last chance to update your address. If you have moved since the Kickstarter happened, it’s a good idea to log into your Backerkit and update your address. You can do this at any time until we lock it down.
Please ensure your address is updated in Backerkit. We will give you ample time to finalize your Backerkit before we lock it down. So don’t panic! To log into Backerkit, go here: https://avatarrpg.backerkit.com/
If you have issues accessing your Backerkit, please email us at [email protected].
Join us at Gen Con!
This is our last call for GMs! 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! It’ll be our first convention where we’re back to running games and we’re excited to see everyone! 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: https://forms.gle/rdAvjUsAC9ahqAgp9
Thanks again, Team Avatar, for all your excitement and support as we head towards the final stages! We’re so excited to finally be at printing! We’ll be back next month with more updates on how progress is going!
Printing Updates, Final Core Book PDFs
over 2 years ago
– Thu, Jun 09, 2022 at 12:23:10 AM
Happy June, Team Avatar! We hope you’re doing well, playing awesome games, and having a great Summer! We’re back with an update on the progress of everything. Here’s what we’ve been doing over at Magpie Games HQ!
Printing Updates
Good news, Team Avatar! The printer is now running at full capacity! This means things will be going faster and very soon, we will have a shiny new updated timeline for you! We wish we had one for this update but sadly that hasn’t happened yet! It’s going to take them a little time to sort through the backlog and give us a solid timeline.
Once we have heard from the printer on an updated timeline, we’ll be back to give you some more news! We’re so excited to hear that the printer has returned to full capacity and will be printing your books soon!
Final PDFs
We have been tweaking the PDFs for the core book and Wan Shi Tong’s Adventure Guide as we go through printing proofs. This process means there have been lots of little updates to the PDFs as we finish them up and adjust them after finding errors or issues with the proofs, like fixing typos or color correcting. We’re happy to say that the final version of the core book will be available by June 17th!
These PDFs will be uploaded to Drivethrurpg before June 17th. There is no new content in the PDFs, just corrections we made based on the print proof process.
You don’t need to go to Backerkit to get this new PDF. It will be directly available in your DriveThruRPG library before June 17th. You can access the file directly at this URL:
If your DriveThruRPG account does not have your files, please email us at [email protected] and we will ensure that you get that file! But remember that the updated file for the core book might not arrive until June 17th!
Join Team Avatar 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! It’ll be our first convention where we’re back to running games and we’re excited to see everyone! To that end, we’re looking for GMs to come run Avatar Legends and some of our other amazing 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: https://forms.gle/rdAvjUsAC9ahqAgp9
That’s all, Team Avatar! Thanks for your support, feedback, and excitement as we wait in anticipation for updates from the printer! We’ll continue to keep you posted on any new developments! Till next time!
WSTAG PDF Update
over 2 years ago
– Fri, May 27, 2022 at 01:19:28 AM
Hey Team Avatar! We’re back with a very short but important update about Wan Shi Tong’s Adventure Guide!
Updated Wan Shi Tong PDFs
We want to make sure you have the most up-to-date PDFs, so this is just a brief update to let you know that updated files will be available soon. After some very minor changes, such as typo fixes and small corrections, we are uploading a new Wan Shi Tong PDF. These PDFs will be uploaded to Drivethrurpg before June 3rd. There is no new content in the PDFs, just corrections we made based on your and proofreader's feedback.
You don’t need to go to Backerkit to get this new PDF. It will be directly available in your DriveThruRPG library before June 3rd. You can access the file directly at this URL:
We mentioned when we first started delivering files that your PDFs will automatically be uploaded to your DriveThruRPG account—both WSTAG and the core book are already available. If your DTRPG account matched your Kickstarter email address, it was sent there automatically. If it didn’t, a new DTRPG account was generated for you and you can merge them with your DTRPG account, or use that account if you’ve never had an account before.
If you already have an account with DriveThruRPG, the PDF has been added to your library. You can login and download your file from DTRPG directly.
If you don’t have an account with DriveThruRPG, they have already created one for you based on the email you used for this Kickstarter; they have added the PDF to your account as well. DriveThruRPG has contacted you directly if they created an account for you with login instructions and an account merge tool so that you can merge your new account with an existing account if you already have an account with DTRPG.
There, enter the email address of the new account that was created for you, which you can now merge into the preferred one that you are logged into currently. DTRPG will send an email to the newly created account’s address with a confirmation link. After you click on it, they will merge that account into your preferred one, and you’ll be able to access your copy of Avatar Legends: The RPG via your preferred account.
If your DriveThruRPG account does not have your files, please email us at [email protected] and we will ensure that you get that file! But remember that the updated file for Wan Shi Tong’s Adventure Guide might not arrive until June 3rd!
We’ll be back soon with more updates! Thanks so much, Team Avatar! We hope you’re staying safe and healthy, and playing amazing games together!
