Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.

Board, card, and roleplaying game publisher Atlas Games is set to be acquired by PDF game publisher Ronin Arts within a year.
According to Atlas Games’ press release, this sale was brought about in an effort to adapt to the online marketplace. I think we can assume from this that Ronin will be converting Atlas’s games to PDF format in the near future.
(Note: It’s also possible that this is an April Fool’s joke. Update: it is indeed an April Fool’s prank.)
