What made Bastion decide to do a setting?
You’ve been doing all purpose fantasy sourcebooks for a while now and a setting seems almost out of place. I say almost because there have been ties between the books for those who looked for them. Jim Butler: My primary goal with Bastion has always been to design new worlds. But good worlds take a long time to design, illustrate, and put together when compared to rulebooks. We’ll keep doing rulebooks, but you’ll see us spread our wings into other areas of publishing. Will you be supporting any Modern D20 books? Any non D20 books? Jim Butler: We don’t have any specific plans to do d20 Modern right now, but that could change. Right now, we’re focusing on the fantasy side of things. The same is true of non-d20 books. Tell me some more about Oathbound. Explain about the Prestige Races. This sounds like an interesting concept. Jim Butler: Oathbound is our first campaign setting, designed for use in any d20 fantasy world. It sits on top of a world along the same lines as Ravenloft or Planes
