"As you may know, Pinnacle is a small company with big product lines, and we often have trouble supporting them due to simple time constraints. The economy right now doesn't allow us to increase our staff, so we've come to a wonderful arrangement with our good friends at Mystic Eye Games.
Mystic Eye will take over production and distribution of new Deadlands books, starting with the long-awaited, much anticipated Deadlands: Europe sourcebook! Best of all, Shane Hensley, creator of Deadlands, is still the Project Manager, and will be heavily involved in the creation, approval, and editing of these books!
Pinnacle will continue to sell Deadlands backstock (see THE BIG SALE!) while Mystic Eye sells all new books through its normal distribution chain. Pinnacle will also have these new books available on its website for those folks who's local store doesn't carry our products.
"We're incredibly excited about this arrangement," said Shane Hensley, President of Pinnacle. "Doug and I struck up a friendship quite a while ago, and Mystic Eye has done a great job of picking up the ball on other games such as FFG's Dragonstar. That means I can still control the intricate plot of the Deadlands world and remain heavily involved, but can devote my time to my current somewhat overwhelming workload with Savage Worlds. Best of all, the fans of Deadlands, who have remained true despite a very slow release schedule from me, can finally get their hands on certain books they've been asking for since Year One!"
Doug Herring of Mystic Eye had this to say: "I have always been a great fan of Deadlands and am thrilled our team will be able to work closely with Shane Hensley to design top notch products for the line. In the tradition of our current license agreements we are committed to make new Deadlands books as high quality as possible and with Shane's help I see that as entirely achievable. Our team is excited and ready to dig up some ghost rock! We are certain that Deadlands fans everywhere will be satisfied with the results of our efforts, because Shane himself will be heavily involved."

We will be dual stating all of the Deadlands books so they will also have d20 info.
