Very classy. Good job and nice to see such an action taken by a D20 publisher.

I was actually surprised, and delighted by this announcement. I can only imagine that other than missing home and their loved ones, these people miss the ability to walk into a game store and look at (if not buy) the latest RPG goodness. This should help ease a little of that.

Good job Jim!

Good job Jim!

Having been to what we affectionately called, "The largest beach volleyballl tournament in the history of the Army" back in 91, I can attest that soldiers will have time where something like gaming material can come in handy. When I served in Desert Storm, I ended up playing with three people that had never participated in a D&D game before in their lives.

Thus, it's wonderful to hear that Bastion has taken this action.
