What's up with Bastion Press?

[Knightfall]

Okay, it doesn't look like Bastion's website has been updated in some time. The product catalog is still for 2005. Has Bastion folded up shop like MEG did?

Just curious,

I'm hoping for the POD release of Wildwood soon...

 

[DMH]

I hope anything will come out soon. PGO, Book of Curses, Legacies 2, Castle Morn are all in the hopper.

I wish Jim would tell us something (not to belittle the other employees, but he is where the buck stops).

The last news I got was that Wildwood was going to be POD and was en route to printer (as of about two weeks ago). Castlemorn has moved to Margaret Weis Productions. You'll have to talk to them about that. All other Bastion products are in limbo until Wildwood POD is released. Jim wants to see how it does, which depresses me since I've been waiting on Lore of the Gods for such a very long time.

That doesn't sound promising.

And man, Castlemorn gets no love (or breaks). That's the fouth company that is suppose to be releasing the setting. First, there was FFE (dead), then Studio 2 (still involved?), then Bastion (on the brink), and now Margaret Weis Productions.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for Castlemorn now.

A Player's Guide to Castlemorn is solicited for release in the newest Previews, due out in Aug at a price of 4.95 for 32 pages. I couldn't tell what rules-set is used for the book.

Linky link?

For what it's worth, a quick clarification, unless I misinterpreted things when we were working on it, Bastion was just acting as developer for Castlemorn for Studio 2. So Studio 2 picked it up from FFE but wanted a company to clean it up and asked Bastion to do it (which they did and handed it back to Studio 2).

As for the Margaret Weis angle now, I have zero information. Just it's mainly passed through 3 hands with Studio 2 and Bastion working together.

It's unfortunate it keeps lingering on and on without being printed. There's some fun stuff in there.

Ugh, I didn't realize that about Castelmorn. On the one hand I'm glad it will (theoretically) get published. On the other hand, I sunk a lot of time into editing it. Ah well.

Steve, hopefully Lore of the Gods will at least make it out in PDF. That one's a really awesome book!

 

[DMH]

Hopefully all of them will be out in pdf at least! Even if the print side goes under (something mourned by thousands), a POD option on the pdfs will provide revenue for BP.
