This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Are there any good The Last Airbender Hacks?

I finally got around to watching The Last Airbender on Netflix.  Firstly, yes, I know that I am way late to the party on this one.  Secondly, I know that there was an animated cartoon series titled Avatar: The Last Airbender but I have not watched it and only have the movie for any source material.  Setting that aside, I liked the movie and think that fictional world, and the premise, for the movie would be a good setting for a RPG.  Now, being so late to this game, I am sure that there are probably a zillion-and-one RPG hacks for a RPG based on this IP.

Can you please point me in the direction of some Airbender hacks?  :)  (It doesn't matter which system the hack is based upon either).

Or any websites that have more source information on the world of The Last Airbender?

No idea but you really really really REALLY need to Netflix the series. Really. Forget the movie. Watch the series. Go, now. DO IT.

Yes. Series. Now. I own them on DVD. They're so awesome. The movie is like watching zombies shuffle on screen trying to act, without any tension or drama.

Cartoon starts very "standard" and eventually blows up far bigger and more interesting and more complex than "standard" kiddie fair.

I'm a huge fan of the show. I've know people who hacked my game Hearts & Souls for it--but I don't have those hacks, they're all in someones head.

Agreed that the movie is awful compared to the cartoon.

Anyways, I don't know of any existing hacks; I always thought that the Qin system could be hacked for this and work really well, though.

I took everyone's advice:  I watched the first three episodes of the cartoon last night from Netflix.  :)
