Surprised no one's made a thread for this yet, as I've been seeing targeted ads for it all over social media.
Magpie Games is developing an officially licensed pen and paper roleplaying game set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra. They're crowdfunding it on Kickstarter, and it should be no surprise that there's a lot of interest. You might be surprised though at just how overwhelming the interest is - it blew past the previous records for tabletop games, it's almost at 6 million dollars and still has over two weeks to go. That's the power of the ATLA/LOK fanbase for ya.
They go into more detail about the mechanics on the campaign page, but one thing that stands out to me is they're designing it to be played across five different eras in the Avatarverse:
-the era during Kyoshi's time as Avatar;
-the era during Roku's time;
-the era of the Hundred Year War, leading up to Aang's reappearance;
-the postwar era during Aang's time;
-the era during Korra's time.
I'm not a big pen and paper gamer, but I'm a big enough Avatar fan that I'd definitely be interested in getting the player's guide, and joining a game should the opportunity arise. Any thoughts from other Avatar fans or pen and paper RPG players?
