    Book sales per company? What's average?

    Absolutely. I'm not trying to say that sales of Bastion, Green Ronin, or Malhavoc are at the anemic sales levels I mentioned. But unless you plan to use Monte's name, get some uber license, or release a new product into the marketplace, then I wouldn't count on sales beyond what I mentioned...

    Initial Print Runs

    It sounds like they're looking to find out how much money the license will earn if they make the contract.

    Who gave up on shipping to Amazon?

    We still ship to Amazon, but their order cycle changes after a product has been available for a month or so. They initially stock some to meet demand, then move to a "tell the publisher we need one to fill an order" model. It's the Just-in-Time inventory model that's bad for everyone, but...

    Bastion Minis Vote

    While I'm not ready to announce anything at this point, it's possible that Bastion Press might have miniatures produced for some of the monsters that have appeared in our books (primarily Oathbound and the monsters from Minions, but any of our books are fair game). But before we trek too far...
