Torn Asunder is still available through all of the distributors, and it's also available at the Bastion Press Online Store. We don't stock the ENWorld store directly, though...

Torn Asunder is the DM's friend. My players hate it. At least until they finally get a really good roll and get to use it on the monsters. 
Looking forward to A&A 3.5.. already pre-ordered through Amazon a while ago.

Hopefully everyone had a chance to see the painted Bastion minis at the Magnificent Egos booth. The Asherake was appropriately scary, but the ceptu looked absolutely awesome! Floating jellyfish never looked so good. I've got Mysteries of Arena and A&A 3.5 to wade through; thanks for sucking up more of my life Bastion Press.

Gen Con Wrap-Up (August 23rd, 2004): Bastion Press finished its exhibition at the Gen Con Game Fair to the strongest sales and showing its ever had at the show. Driven by the Special Gen Con Edition of Arms & Armor and the release of Oathbound: Mysteries of Arena, the Bastion Press staff greeted gamers from all over the world at this year's granddaddy of all game conventions.
"Thursday was an absolute feeding frenzy; the busiest I've ever seen the first day of the show. The gamers descended on the Exhibit Hall like a pack of hungry wolves." said Jim Butler, Editor-in-Chief of Bastion Press.
ARMS & ARMOR
The Special Gen Con Edition of Arms & Armor served as a special preview edition of Arms & Armor v3.5, which will be released in early September by Bastion Press. Arms & Armor contains over 200 weapons and nearly 200 unique magical weapon qualities, plus 100 types of armor and defenses and nearly 200 unique armor qualities all culled from more than 100 open content sources. The Gen Con Edition also contained data sets for E-Tools and PCGen, plus a PDF version of Arms & Armor.
"Given the response to the data set, Bastion is providing an option for gamers to buy the data sets directly from the Bastion Press Online Store." said Jim Butler. "Distributors and retailers also have the option of ordering the CD-ROM directly from Bastion."
We also have a few copies of the Gen Con Special Edition left (maybe six copies). I'll put these up on the website as well once our warehouse unpacks everything from the show.

OATHBOUND: MYSTERIES OF ARENA
The latest chapter in the Oathbound campaign setting made its debut at Gen Con as well. We talked with lots of fans about the future of Oathbound and future product plans, such as:
1.) Future domains will be covered in a single hardcover and serve as brand new entry points into the campaign setting. So, if you didn't like the city adventuring of Penance or the warfare nature of Arena, you'll be able to easily jump into the setting as we introduce future expansions.
2.) Being able to quickly search through the vast library of Oathbound books is something many people asked for, and we'll increase our conversion to PDF for the remaining products.
3.) Oathbound Legacy: This is a new program to offer adventures and other material for GMs. Look for the first issue as a PDF download in the next few weeks.

TORN ASUNDER: CRITICAL HITS

FUTURE PRODUCTS
To cope with the changes in the RPG industry, Bastion will be moving to larger products and fewer releases (Arms & Armor, a 176-page hardcover, represents the first of these). Stay tuned for future announcements on this front.

Well done! Congrats!

I must be the only person in the world who genuinely enjoys that.
My intolerance for stupidity still applies, but my extended gaming family (those who game with the people I game with, and occasionally once more removed) has little of the blatant "my first level character killed Odin with a rusty spork" badness that makes me want to sew their mouths shut.I enjoy a good (or even a medocre) story. I tend to enjoy the good ones more, though.
To be more on topic, I'll go take a look at Torn Asunder.
