Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Sure, we’ve have online RPGs and online CCGs. Heck, we’ve even been able to play miniature games online. But an online collectible miniagure game? That’s the concept that the makers of the Continuum online game would like to get you to buy into.
Gleemax may be gone, but that doesn’t mean that Wizards of the Coast has entirely given up on new electronic ventures for Dungeons & Dragons. The company is now offering Dungeons & Dragons Tiny Adventures on Facebook. When signing up for the application, you have a choice from preset characters whom you can send on a range of adventures. Each adventure consists of multiple events, with the system guiding your character’s progress and determining the character’s success. What’s particularly nice to see is that events include a range of challenges—not just the typical fantasy combat—and that you can direct your character to assist the characters of your friends with their adventures.
Out in the black, your crew has to do whatever it takes to survive—whether that’s hauling questionable cargo or helping a fugitive Browncoat admiral hijack his former ship. Five such opportunities for adventure are included in the new roleplaying supplement from Margaret Weis Productions simply titled, Serenity Adventures. The book is currently available in PDF form and will soon be available in print.
