I'm as hyped as I can be for this game, I already pledged on kickstarter and it will be my first time as a GM, I have no idea what I'm doing but these videos are definitely helping and only getting me more excited about the system and the stories that can be born from it. Thank you very much.
Same! This game is super fun just with the quick start so i'm excited to see where the full game goes! Is there anything in particular DM wise youd like to see some videos on? I'm planning some DM videos and I'd like to kinda pinpoint some points to get into!
You're gonna do great! The games very simple to DM vs other RPGs. I'm planning for a few DM videos so Is there anything in particular youd like me to specifically talk about DM wise?
@@krisfire I'm studying the quick start right now and so far your videos are being super helpful with what I was struggling, so I'll get back to you on this if I get stuck at some point. Once again, thank you very much.
@@krisfire so I'm not quite sure what to expect out of a book ik in the quick start there was a setting and they talked about how characters should act, but I don't think I see very much script so do I make everything up in the setting? I don't exactly understand what to do or expect to see in the book to help. I am in a DND group so I understand to react to how the players play but players. So if I'm thinking of a video on it I'm thinking maybe "what to expect as a first time DM", or "how to DM from scratch" with a book as a example.BTW Kris, I really like your videos they are interesting and creative.
One of my players is an air bender in Aang’s era. But she is so afraid of what will happen to her if she is discovered. She’s heard the stories and rumors that the Avatar has returned but she doesn’t have his power or protection so she still doesn’t rely heavy on bending. When she does she disguises it as fluid dodges and dances. A very graceful character. I thought that was so damn brilliant I had to allow air bending (despite Aang being the last air bender)
@@diamondly6250 there are ways around it.we’re near the end of the campaign. She’s kept the secret under wraps from even her own party. None of the players at the table know she is an air bender. And to be honest, this doesn’t break canon. Because no one has seen her bend air, there is no one who thinks there are any air benders. And the drama going on in their story none of them even know the avatar is alive. So from both perspectives they are the last of their kind and will never learn of the other.
We actually did a similar thing but during the 100 years war. We had to do a lot of explaining to make it plausible. My group came from DND, so we’re so used to regarding canon as a suggestion at best. I think it was a good time, personally. She was a lot less hesitant about using her bending at first, though, so they got chased by people looking for the avatar a lot.
I’m watching this playlist to help me learn how to run this game. I’m running it for the first time in a week or two and we’re doing a session 0 this weekend. This really helped, thank you ❤️
You don’t have to be a bender and you can be a chi blocker! They’ve said on the Kickstarter comments that those rules should be in the core rule book on drop!
@@krisfire I also never understood why blood benders never froze or boil an Enemys blood. Yes, its a kid show, but we know freezing water is possible and they blood bend the water in someone, so why not?
That would be up to the GM. If it’s common knowledge it would likely be a given. More niche and it would depend on the character. A soldier wouldn’t know much about spirits so it could be a “push your luck” roll but a sage might, so the GM could say they’d use “rely on your skills and training”. Vice versa for say military knowledge. Hope that helped!
I thought you were supposed to pick one of the "training" (Water, Fire, Earth, Airbending, Weapons, Technology) and write in the "fighting style." Or maybe write "Southern praying mantis style kung fu, with focus on hand techniques."
Not the full system! We have the quick start guide which gives us everything we need to play but we dont have the ENTIRE rule system yet. thats coming in Febuary.

Same here, I'm kinda nervous and I don't understand very well how to dm the game or at least read the script and dm it

well that brakes the canon all the air benders are dead it would make sense during the 100 year war era. but you do you

Good on you. Too many people want to follow the lore like it's their religion. It's a role playing game. Let people just do their thing
@@hitthemelons6333 honestly I’m just proud of the depth the player put into hiding the bending and everything. She made a great character

Hey! Did your game go alright? I’m gonna’ run a game soon and I’m nervous 😅
All your videos are great thank you so much I just did a game last night using the quick start story and it was a lot of fun.
I love to hear it! Awesome! Glad these videos are doing some good !😀
Could you do a video on fatigue/conditions and ways to manipulate them as a gm? I think that could be pretty interesting
Sure! I’ll add that onto my list for videos! 😁
Do you have to be a bender ?
Can you learn chi blocking, and what effect does it have on benders and nonbenders ?
You don’t have to be a bender and you can be a chi blocker! They’ve said on the Kickstarter comments that those rules should be in the core rule book on drop!
@@krisfire.. 😃 Yes !
Currently playing an Air Nomad who bonks enemies on the head with their quarter staff like Rafiki lol. Also they are of the Destined play book! 😃.
a waterbender who bends the pee.
turning every foes pee into ice and winning every fight in seconds.
You have no ide how much I hate this 😂
@@krisfire me too. Most of all I hate that according to what we see benders can do in the show, it would most probably work and be way too effective
@@krisfire I also never understood why blood benders never froze or boil an Enemys blood. Yes, its a kid show, but we know freezing water is possible and they blood bend the water in someone, so why not?
my book just arived but i don't know where the sheets are? where do you get the character sheets??
It seems so boring to pick a playbook then make a character out of it instead of playing an idea that appeals to you.
The starter set doesn’t come with character creation sheets. 😑
So how does this game deal with knowledge skills?
Is it entirely up to the GM?
That would be up to the GM. If it’s common knowledge it would likely be a given. More niche and it would depend on the character.
A soldier wouldn’t know much about spirits so it could be a “push your luck” roll but a sage might, so the GM could say they’d use “rely on your skills and training”. Vice versa for say military knowledge.
Hope that helped!
Thaaaaaanks 🫶🏻🫶🏻
this is a lot easier then dnd
I thought you were supposed to pick one of the "training" (Water, Fire, Earth, Airbending, Weapons, Technology) and write in the "fighting style."
Or maybe write "Southern praying mantis style kung fu, with focus on hand techniques."
I think you are right
Wait so is this game not out yet?
Not the full system! We have the quick start guide which gives us everything we need to play but we dont have the ENTIRE rule system yet. thats coming in Febuary.
Take a breath and slow down a bit. Love your videos though. For now I just put it on 0.75 speed.
Appreciate the insight. Funny enough This is me slowing down my natural speaking tone ALOT XD
I watched on 1.5 so it's pretty subjective. Everyone has speed control so just do what you'd want to listen to.
maybe its because i talked fast my whole life i didn't have a problem
Wait a minute…I knew that character sheet look familiar….
Gee I wonder why, it’s the only sheet left with clear writing I can actually read 😂😂😂
Do you always speak this fast?
Stop talking at x2 bro.
