Mon, Dec 2, 2024, 6:00 PM PSTTAC/OS Avatar Legends - 100 YWE: Forbidden Scroll:GM Johnny Q (Grey Lore Master)
Off The Shelf Games, El Cajon, CA
Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game is a PbtA system that brings you and your friends into the beloved setting of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra - as new heroes of your own stories! Weave tales of self-discovery and action with your team of friends and go penguin-sledding while you're at it!

SUMMARY:
The night before the coronation ceremony of Fire Lord Ozai, Fire Sage Bai arrested several intruders trying to steal a historical scroll from the Dragonbone Catacombs in Royal Caldera City (also known as Hari Bulkan). These brave heroes hoped to save a bit of the un-doctored Fire Nation history from Ozai’s wrath, but they now face a lifetime of incarceration! Luckily, an elderly Fire Sage, Niuan, has freed the heroes and given them the scroll they sought, promising to help them if they agree to smuggle him out of the city during their escape. But can Fire Sage Niuan be trusted? How will our heroes escape from the city? And what will Fire Sage Bai do when he realizes they have escaped with the scroll...and Niuan?

WHAT TO BRING:
Pre-generated characters will be available and since PbtA is a 2d6 system, then you can bring your own dice or use mine. All that will be required of the players is you, your Avatar: The Last Airbender passion, and your imagination!

MAC (Member Advocacy Committee) is a branch of TAC specifically focused on helping players feel safe and comfortable while playing table top role playing games (TTRPGs) together. One way we hope to accomplish this is by creating tables focused on populations who are historically underrepresented in gaming spaces. Our goal is to showcase all of the wonderful aspects of our TAC community and bring new people into the exciting world of D&D and other TTRPGs.
