Bastion's color products use high-quality matte paper that is thinner then most of the regular uncoated paper. One of the things I've learned in this industry is that a lower price doesn't increase sales. Gamers just don't make decisions based on retail price; they make them based on a number...

Re: Re: Bastion in Black and White? I really wish $15/book would work, but it won't. It must be time to play make-believe again... ;-) Product Sales: 1,500 copies @ $14.95 retail Wholesale Price (that's what we get paid): $4.49 Big Check from Osseum/Impressions: $6,735.00 Expenses...

Greetings, all! First and foremost, it's true. Bastion will be going to black and white on a number of our releases. We will still be doing some color products (like Talisman Studio's imprints, plus an upcoming artbook), but overall you'll see less full-color and more black & white. Why the...

Faeries On Sale now at better hobby and game stores! Welcome to the Twilit Lands, where all is fey and faeries rule. This d20 guide to Faeries provides answers on the fair folk, the fey races and creatures more ancient than dragons and far more enigmatic than their sizes or shapes ever reveal...

The original program from TSR back in the late 70's did indeed offer those who invested a certain sum of money (I can't recall the exact amount, but I think it was $1,000) 1 free copy of all products that TSR produced. For those who took advantage of it, it turned out to be a good deal. When...

Thomas Denmark and Citizen Games have done a really good job with Dungeoneer. It's not Spellfire... but it's still fun. :-P

I hear comments regarding pricing every now and then, but they get more and more confusing each time. On average, Bastion Products cost $5 more than WotC products (and they're full color, and many times have a higher word count per page than a WotC product). For instance, WotC charges $19.95...

Re: D20 Logo on WotC Products Yes, each WotC book has a d20 logo on it. But none of the WotC books follow the d20 license. There's no declaration of Open Gaming Content, and those products sell based on the strength of the Dungeons & Dragons logo. That's not to say they're not good products...

Next up will be Arms & Armor. I wanted to get new borders made for it before putting A&A up, so we jumped ahead with Villains. My goal is to have Arms & Armor up by early April, and then do one a month until I get to Oathbound. Not sure about that massive tome yet. ;-)

Villains: Rebirth is the electronic reprint of our popular Villains product. It contains all of the material from the original work, plus all of the bonus materials included in e-Villains.

I've made an announcement for the Hub Tavern over the Oathbound mailing list, and updated the Bastion Press Links and Oathbound pages with the fansite information. If anyone knows of any other Oathbound websites, please let me know...

We price ourselves $5 higher than the same-sized black & white WotC product. Most of our books have been 96 pages, and have been priced at $24.95.

Full-color products is something anyone can do (well, as long as they pay the artists and foot the higher print costs). I first chose to do full-color products because I didn't leave WotC until after the d20 boom had started, so I was at a bit of a disadvantage as far as being one of many...

Greetings! The prestige races presented in Dragon are brand new and suitable for any fantasy world (and that means you could use them in the Oathbound setting). Oathbound: Plains of Penance (our February release) has five more new prestige races.

The Pale Designs Review is already up! I think this is the first time we've seen a review before the mass release of the book (it's street date is January, though most stores will have it toward the end of this month). Click here for the review. And thanks to Gamewyrd for such a speedy turnaround!
