Next week, I'll be using Movers and Shakers as the basis for a one-shot at Dragonflight in Bellevue, Washington. I'd like the benefit of the experience of others here.

Of course, the big one is combat. Most of my experience is with D&D, but I know that combat exchanges and other combat are not intended to be like the kill-or-be-killed combat of that and other games. That's cool. But how could or should it work in practice.

I would think the shows would form a good foundation here, but it's one thing to write combat another to run it in a game. The books suggest that fights using combat exchanges should only have a few before one side stops fighting. But then what? I've learned that one can't count on players stopping the fight even when the odds are against them - many feel that's when they're supposed to keep fighting. So, the players, on the face of it don't seem like they'd stop.

Their opponents might stop, if they're being beaten badly, but that doesn't necessarily mean the PCs stop. On paper it just means they keep pounding an opponent foolish enough to let their guard down.

My guess is that this comes down to skilled handling of the Conversation and skilled use of GM moves. I could shift their balance if somehow applicable. This is sort of what alignment gets used for: if you hit that guy, I'll make you non-lawful and - oh wait, never mind the barbarian took care of it. But it's not much of a disincentive compared to leaving a dangerous enemy alive. Then again, I can shift it as much as I want.

I can shift the odds with reinforcements, but the just drives more combat.

I could inflict a condition: again, not much of a disincentive, unless they have them all marked for some reason.

I have more questions but this is long enough. Thanks in advance.

To capitalize on the release of the movie and the hype surrounding it, my DnD group is thinking about branching out and trying a one shot of this game. However, I’d like them to fully be able to make characters they love for it, because it is only a one shot. So-

First question is, are there rules for starting characters at a “higher level” or “more experienced”. For example- one of my players wants to be a lava bender. There’s rules for that, but it seems that you have to work your way up to it. I’m looking for rules on starting with stronger characters.

Second question- I can’t seem to find the rules for creature companions. I’ve seen discussion on this sub about them, but can’t find the rules. I know there’s at least one character that wants a badgermole companion

Hello, dear benders and non-benders alike.

For a campaign of The Avatar Legends TTRPG, I have been giving a lot of thought to the spirit world, and the Ocean and Moon Spirit in particular.

It is my understanding that spirits exist in a space between genders, and are more so shaped by how they're seen and treated.

In this line, I found it hilarious, that Book One of the original show doesn't really discuss the gender of the spirits until Yuei merges with the moon spirit, but in the remake, Yuei's actor seems to call the moon spirit "He" directly. I do not have a specific time stamp for this, but it happens in one of the last episodes of S1. This directly implies that gender matters, and she fuses with one of the gay spirits.

In a different vein, I like to believe that the Moon spirit is a sibling to the Sun spirit, and either there was jealousy with the ocean, or dislike toward it that drove a wedge between the sun and moon. This is why i dont only depict the sun spirit as a bird, but also a koi.

Thank you for reading, please feel free to comment below, I'd love to hear your thoughts

I’m prefacing my newness just in case I sound stupid, since I’m about as new to TTRPGs as it gets. I bought the QuickStart and then redeemed it digitally on demiplane and then noticed the bonus storm over linsho campaign. I didn’t get a physical copy like I did with the first two for the Aang and Korra eras. Is storm over linsho only available digitally? Or was I supposed to have that included in my physical copy of the QuickStart and it was just left out for some reason?

So since I found out that Paramount has cancelled the triple aaa Role Playing Game(rpg) of a avatar game. Which would have allowed you to make your own Avatar from any of the nations with character costimaztion I have a question. What kind of Avatar would you guys have made what nation would you pick what would you have your avatar look like what gender or what would you have role played as straight bi lesbian or futa if your into that you know if they had that. Also how deep would you want the character costimaztion to be deep like Cyberpunk or just standard also what would you guys want the game to have or expect if they went through with actually making the game also it's possible for it to come back cause Paramount has said they would if they found the right studio to do it here's my Avatar.
