    I'll plug it a bit more once Duane Maxwell (the editor) turns over the final file and I verify it will fill 128 pages. ;-)

    Larger products do cost slightly less per page than smaller products; that much is true. There's a lot more work invested in them as well, though, so most publishers tend to stretch out there large books over the course of a year. A 128-page product would run $27.95, and a 160-page would probaby...

    First, thanks for the kind words regarding Oathbound and Minions: Rebirth. :) Pricing is always a sensitive issue for some gamers, but it ultimately comes back to finding a happy medium between offering value for the money. Color printing is much more expensive than black and white printing...

    Bastion Press News

    Fan reviewers, since they're buying a product they're interested in, are a different breed then the 'staff' reviewer that puts up a large number of reviews each month because they received it free from the publisher. Fans review things that they feel strongly about--one way or the other. Much...

    [Bastion Press] Minions - Rebirth and a question (or two)...

    My plan has been to wait between 10 and 12 months before releasing the PDF version of our print products. Some products, like Arms & Armor, have longer sales cycles, so you'll probably have to wait a few more months for that release. In addition, the sales cycle for gaming products (once pegged...

    D&D artwork which captures something for you

    Hmm. Good question. I've heard this comment 2-3 times on the message boards, and I think it's illustrating the overload problem that is paralyzing some retailers as they try and keep up with demand. They order in a couple of copies of the book and forget to reorder when it runs out. Oathbound...

    What's with the big books?

    Nitpicking here to be sure, but Oathbound is larger than the Realms by 32 pages... Binding size varies based on the paper used and the binding type used. The thickness of the board for the hardcover also makes a big difference. In any event, we made Oathbound into one big book because setting...

    A question for the publishers

    Bastion Press would consider reviewing some submissions, but only if they were developed somewhat past the one-page submissions that were sent to Wizards. I'd love to see the one-page write-up along with the first 50 pages of the book, for instance. It goes without saying, though, that we're...
