Have you ever looked at Legend of the Elements, it's another RPG based on Avatar? I've been running a campaign of it and it works pretty well

I have not even heard of it! Do you have any links or resources I could take a look at?

>Legend of the Elements

I've looked up the system. I wouldn't mind a brief rundown of how the play style works in comparison to other games. Is it heavily diced-based? Is it entirely roleplay driven?

When working on an adaptation, it's always important to really nail down your design goals. Just leaving it ephemeral, 'a game like Avatar', means different people might have different ideas of what that means. Concisely and clearly state what your vision of it means.

Focus the mechanics on what matters to the system. So many systems have rules for things that don't matter or have things which do matter be apparently equal to things that don't, and this is especially common if you're trying to adapt something, as one legacy mechanic or another ends up as a worthless appendix on the rest of the system. Cut away the fat and focus on the bits of the system that you care about.

As for other systems to reference, I've always thought I'd use Legends of the Wulin for running Avatar type stuff. It's a crunchy system and the core book is unfortunately awfully edited, making getting into it a real bitch, but it also has the best rules for over the top action combat of any game I've ever played.

well it's a PbtA system so if you've played anything else in that engine you should have a rough idea how it runs

in combat, other than the bending abilities, the main actions which get used are Commit Open Violence (which is basically any time you're trying to hurt someone) and Move With Intention (which triggers whenever you try and gain a stronger position than the one you have). Move With Intention's presence means that characters are generally encouraged to be mobile and active during fights since it gets you bonuses. The system also uses environment tags which can be added by various abilities and can be taken advantage of meaning that the terrain will usually wind up playing a role in the fight.

This is great advice which I've actually tried to follow to the best of my ability.

My number one priority in adapting the FF rules is nailing down the fast-paced martial arts-based bending combat and the overall fluidity of impromptu bending techniques.
