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

Fatima Docrat, a sixth grader in South Africa, has designed a soccer game in anticipation of the 2010 World Cup to be held in South Africa.

She used Microsoft Word to design the game. SuperSport, a sports media outlet in South Africa, is interested in the game.

Spaceship Carriers

I’m a big fan of cool spaceship miniatures and Brigade Models certainly has an impressive line. The two latest additions are the Underwood carrier for the American Republic and the Haixiung carrier for the Chinese Democratic Socialist Union. As with other ships from Brigade, these can be used for any number of spaceship systems. However, the company also sells a custom version of the Starmada X ruleset from Majestic Twelve Games.

More Villains

Green Ronin Publishing has a new sourcebook for the Freedom City campaign setting of Mutants & Masterminds. Freedom’s Most Wanted is available as a PDF and details a whole bunch of villains, as well as the inevitable villainous organizations that they belong to, and the evil weapons and tools they use to further their nefarious goals.
