Into the Green (and our upcoming Into the Black) are more than just monster books. While there are some monsters within their pages, these books are designed as sourcebooks and references for the various terrain types. Players will want them so they can understand the sorts of challenges they...

Hmm. You seem to be asking (in a thinly veiled way) why we're even bothering to do a book like this, since there's one out similar in theme and another on the way. The answer is that I think there's plenty of room in industry for different viewpoints. I believe that players and DMs are prone to...

We're primarily looking for monsters, but we could be swayed with a really good template.

No pantless entries will be accepted, Hal. You're doomed!! ;-)

If you have access to 3.5, go ahead and write them up for that edition. Otherwise, we'll make the changes to the submissions after we've chosen those we're going to use. Having access to 3.5 won't increase your chances; not having access to 3.5 won't decrease your chances. :-)

I'd prefer them as an RTF. Thanks for asking. ;-)

Into the Black: A Guide to Caverns and Catacombs Beneath the earth’s surface lies a dark, eerie subterranean world that remains largely unexplored and unknown to the most seasoned explorers. In September, Bastion Press sheds light on this unlit realm by releasing Into the Black: A Guidebook to...

Bastion Press Sales & Marketing Changes (Seattle, Washington; May 8th, 2003): Effective May 12th, Bastion Press will handle sales and marketing of all of its titles to the hobby trade. Osseum Entertainment will continue to handle all sales, marketing, and fulfillment to the book trade. The...

Torn Asunder Contributors Chosen After carefully going through the submissions for Torn Asunder: Critical Hits, we have chosen the following individuals: Andrew Hind, Anthony Roberson, Bret Boyd, Brannon Hollingsworth, Charles Plemons, Christopher Smith Adair, Dave Brohman, Ed Bourelle, Garath...

You should see an announcement tomorrow. Really. ;-)

I'm not certain if we'll be doing this particular product as a POD, but I will be testing the POD market with some of our PDFs in the near future. Converting products to Print-On-Demand will take some manpower, and there are costs involved to the publisher (since there are still minimum...

Druids & Druidism By Thomas Knauss Long overshadowed by their clerical brethren, Druids and Druidism levels the playing field with their divine colleagues by providing eight new prestige classes, more than twenty new feats and twenty-five new spells for druids of all levels. In addition to...

The response to the May Day sale has been so good I've decided to extend it over the weekend. I'll know better in the future to try only a one-day sale. ;-) Judging by the success of the Megapack combo, I'll probably end up keeping some kind of deal for players and DMs who want to buy all of...

Re: Bastion... making wives mad since... today :-) Bastion Press: The orc speedbump in the road of marital bliss. ;-)

May Day has been celebrated throughout history. The Greeks recognized it in their ceremonies; the Romans celebrated it as a means to ensure a good harvest; the Celts and Saxons celebrated it as Beltane (the day of fire). Most recognized it as a agricultural ceremony. Today, May Day is...

Bastion Press did receive advance materials for 3.5, and all of our products will be 3.5 enqabled when the new system launches. Like others have mentioned, however, all of our previous materials are largely unaffected by the changes.

Wrack & Ruin will also be black & white. We've lowered the prices on all of our May-August releases to reflect the change to black & white over color. Wrack & Ruin: 128 pages; $25.95 Into the Green: 96 pages; $22.95 Torn Asunder: Critical Hits: 96 pages; $22.95 Oathbound: Arena: 160 pages...

Back at WotC, I led the charge for producing full-color products. The lines I became in charge of (primarily Alternity and Forgotten Realms) produced a large number of color products, and when we relaunched the Realms it switched to full-color as part of its branding. There were still some...

There isn't so much a formula in place as there is a philosophy. Some books (especially the Talisman Studios imprint and an upcoming art book that has not been announced yet) will remain in full color because they're showcasing artistic talent. Other books (that are primarily RPG sourcebooks)...
