Legend of the Elements
Legend of the Elements is a tabletop roleplaying game about supernatural martial arts action. It features a group of characters with varying degrees of martial arts skill, magical talent, and worldly (or otherworldly) wisdom, working together to live their lives and achieve their goals. It is inspired by many things, but none so much or so apparently as Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. While this game is neither officially related to that franchise nor bound by the restrictions of its setting and genre, it does provide the single largest touchstone for this game.
First Edition
The original Legend of the Elements stands as a high-quality game still, even as I develop a new edition with additional wisdom and experience of a decade of design. Additionally, there's a wealth of support resources for it! Check the Downloads section below.
