“So, I was convinced for a couple of months that Mark had gotten the licence to make a roleplaying game about the Wu-Tang Clan.” “Mark contacted me back in September and said, ‘We got this licence property, we know you're gonna want to work on it. We want bringing in those influences to be a source of joy and confidence. Mendez, along with several other designers of colour and indigeneity, has been working alongside Magpie on writing, design and cultural consultancy. Truman and lead designer James Mendez Hodes spoke with Dicebreaker about the current design process - much of it still not written in stone - and why Powered by the Apocalypse felt like the right platform upon which to build their game.
LEGEND OF KORRA AANG SERIES
The studio recently announced it had secured the licence from Viacom CBS to develop the world of Avatar and its sequel series Legend of Korra into a tabletop setting, with a sourcebook dropping in 2022. It would have ended off on a real high note.Mark Truman, CEO of Magpie Games, feels like the last decade of the studio’s work has all led to the team working on an Avatar: The Last Airbender RPG.
In fact, if the show had ended at season 3, I think a lot more fans of The Last Airbender would have appreciated The Legend of Korra more. Zaheer is the most interesting antagonist since Amon, and Korra actually starts to show real growth this season as she takes her position as Avatar gravely serious and tempers her hot-headedness. He also eventually helps break other powerful benders out of captivity to form a group called “The Red Lotus.” Exciting stuff. But probably the biggest change this season that propels the plot is that people start getting the ability to airbend again, which actually impacts Korra since the main antagonist this season, Zeheer (Voice by Henry freaking Rollins) acquires airbending abilities, too. And the ramifications of what happened in Book 2 concerning the Spirit Realm seep into this season, as spirit vines are popping up all over Republic City. For one thing, fan favorite Zuko returns as an old man.
Just like Avatar.īook 3, which, during its initial run was first on Nickeloeon proper, and then concluded on because of the show’s declining ratings, is the series’ best season since so much happens. But Amon, with his desire to make everybody equal, is just such a compelling villain that it elevated the show from being a disappointment to must-watch TV. And it’s a good thing that Amon is such a good villain, since all the other new characters-Bolin, Mako, Tenzen, Asami, and especially Korra-just seemed like lesser versions of all the characters we grew to love on Avatar: The Last Airbender. A character who can take bending away from benders? It sounds too horrible to be true. So why is this season so high up on this list? Because of one character-Amon.Īmon is the best antagonist in the entire series since he brings so much fear and tension. And when you look back at the entire season, it has the fewest chapters with only 12. Plus, all the characters don’t seem nearly as interesting as those found in ATLA. The first few chapters are painfully slow as they’re mired in stuff like the pro-bending league (Gawd!), and all the world building.
