History TabletopGame / AvatarLegendsTheRoleplayingGame

* UsedToBeMoreSocial: the Air Nomads are increasingly isolationist in this era, after political repercussions surrounding Avatar Kyoshi's identification, growing banditry in the areas surrounding their temples and the loss of some important spiritual sites.

** Azula's goal is listed as being to depose Zuko and rule as Fire Lord. This is pretty much the exact opposite of her stated characterization in ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderSmokeAndShadow Smoke and Shadow]]'', where she claims to be trying to corrupt Zuko into a tyrannical Fire Lord, having given up on obtaining the position herself, although it is possible this is the excuse she gives her cohorts.

* ShoutOut: In the core book section about character names, gemstone names are presented as an option for Earth Kingdom character names, using as examples [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl]].

* DeathIsCheap: Defied. The game makes a point of discouraging the killing off of both [=PCs=] and [=NPCs=], instead encouraging alternative forms/consequences of defeat. That's not to say there's no death at all, but it'll be significant if or when it does happen.

* RestrictedExpandedUniverse: Should a game session strictly adhere to [[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender canon]], players will limited in their choices. For example, some of the listed techniques haven't been invented yet during some eras a game could be set in (e.g. Metalbending, Bloodbending, Aang's ''Air Scooter'' etc.). Secondly, one can't play an [[DoomedByCanon Airbender]] during both the Hundred Year War and the Aang Era. And thirdly, a lot of villains during the Hundred Year War, such as Ozai, Zhao, or Long Feng, are bound to remain {{Greater Scope Villain}}s due to the Gaang defeating them in canon.

* PuppetKing: Earth King Kuei isn't even listed as an important NPC, as it takes the Gaang's exposition of [[EvilChancellor Long Feng]] to have him actually rule his kingdom (only to be promptly overthrown by Azula).

* The Hundred Year War Era: Taking place shortly before the events of WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender. Campaigns may include themes of war, survival and hope.

* The Kyoshi Era: Set after the events of Literature/TheShadowOfKyoshi. It lends itself to stories of revenge, betrayal, justice and inner turmoil.

* The Aang Era: Set after the events of ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderImbalance, detailing stories of healing, coexistence and technological advancement.
* The Korra Era: Taking place after ComicBook/TheLegendOfKorraRuinsOfTheEmpire, this Era lends itself to stories of redemption, leadership and the conflict between technology and tradition.

* RestrictedExpandedUniverse: Should a game strictly adhere to canon, players are sometimes limited in their choices:
** Some listed techniques haven't been invented yet during some eras a game could be set in (e.g. Metalbending, Bloodbending, Aang's ''Air Scooter'' etc.)
** One can't play an [[DoomedByCanon Airbender]] during both the Hundred Year War and the Aang Era.
** A lot of villains during the Hundred Year War, such as Ozai, Zhao or Long Feng, are bound to remain {{Greater Scope Villain}}s due to the Gaang defeating them in canon.

''Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game'' is a [[TheRoleplayingGame tabletop roleplaying game]] produced by Magpie Games and set in the world of Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender, in which heroes from the four nations are roleplayed, fighting for what is right in a complicated and nuanced world. A Kickstarter was launched on August 3, 2021, to serve as a pre-order mechanism, and ran until September 2, 2021, having raised over $9.5 million.

* AnAdventurerIsYou: Options at character creation include: Playbook (a sort of Chraracter-Archetype), training (the four bending-arts, weapon-fighting and technology) and a more general background [[note]]up to two from ''Military'', ''Monastic'', ''Outlaw'', ''Privileged'', ''Urban'' and ''Wilderness''[[/note]].

* EvilMatriarch: Lady Huazo, who was TheMistress of the late Fire Lord and was the driving force behind her [[MommasBoy son's]] attempt to seize the throne.

* SeriesContinuityError: ''Wan Shi Tong's Adventure Guide'' has a number of statements for the era's NPC Legends that don't really mesh with wath happened in canon:

* TheMentor: In order to learn new techniques, characters must find a willing teacher (usually an NPC) in order for them to learn a new technique (there are even rules on specific things a chraracter may need to do to finish this training).

* TrainingMontage: Characters actually learn new techniques by finding a teacher and training with them. This involves a roll determining how sucessfull the training is.

* GangsterLand: Due to mismanagement and the aftermath of a large criminal urprising, the Earth Kingdom is in large parts under the control of various criminal groups collectively known as ''daofei'' [[note]]even the Avatar herself is a member of one[[/note]] . Whether they are JustLikeRobinHood, NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters or engage in TotalitarianGangsterism depends on the specific group.

* RichSiblingPoorSibling: On a national scale with the Water Tribes: The South has suffered for a long time, and the original pirates of the Fifth nation were southern tribesmen driven into piracy by economic decline. The North menanwhile is prospering.

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: The Yellow Necks, a large ''daofei'' group who rose in rebellion against the Earth-King, widely encouraged its fighters to RapePillageAndBurn their way through the Kingdom.

* GoodRunningEvil: Fire Lord Zuko still struggles to balance his nation's interests with his own desire for atonement, although he has proven to be an able ruler.
* NoHonorAmongThieves: Although Azula maintains leadership over her Fire Warriors, it soon transpires that she does not have the absolute control over them that she had with Mai and Ty Lee. As a result, they often tend to act out independently without Azula's immediate approval.
* PraetorianGuard: The Kyoshi Warriors (now including Ty Lee) briefly served as Fire Lord Zuko's CadreOfForeignBodyguards, and have since served in various different positions, such as training Cranefish Town's policeforce.
* SuperSupremacist: Although their biggest uprising has been quelled, a lot of people still harbor the sentiments of Bending Supremacy.

* ContinuitySnarl: ''Wan Shi Tong's Adventure Guide'' has a number of these for the era's NPC Legends:
** Azula's goal is listed as being to depose Zuko and rule as Fire Lord. This is pretty much the exact opposite of her stated characterization in ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderSmokeAndShadow Smoke and Shadow]]'', where she claims to be trying to corrupt Zuko into a tyrannical Fire Lord, having given up on obtaining the position herself.

** Suki is mentioned to have helped rescue "several prisoners who played key roles in ending the war" from the Boiling Rock Prison. In actuality, the only prisoners who escaped the Boiling Rock besides her were Hakoda and Chit Sang, neither of whom were shown to have any significant role in the remainder of the animated series.

* AWorldHalfFull: Following on from the previous Era and the events that ended it. Avatar Aang has returned and started rebuilding the Air Nomads through the Air Acolytes, Ozai has been deposed and replaced as Fire Lord by his far more benevolent son Zuko, and both the Earth Kingdom and Southern Water Tribe are starting to recover from the destruction caused by the Fire Nation. The Southern Water Tribe even finds itself with a chance to catch up to the rest of the world in development, due to the discovery of oil in its territory.

"Classes" are replaced by "Trainings", which include the four bending styles, as well as weapon-fighting and technology. Within such a training, players may select and use advanced techniques. The character's skill with such a technique progresses through a level system, consisting of learned, practiced and mastered, with each level granting greater ease of use for that technique.
