I noticed only Seven and Eclipse are listed under campaign books, but the older books are listed as back catalog. I was wondering if there are plans to revise the other campaign books? Also, PDF versions would be wonderful as well.

I can't seem to find the PDFs of the older material available for sale anymore. The freebies on the old Bastion Press site are gone too. It's not a big deal for me since I bought what was available digitally while I could get my hands on it, but other people might be interested still.
Sadly I never found the two Penance supplements or Mysteries of Arena for sale digitally, though I do have the physical books, or find the Legacies of Oathbound #2 supplement mentioned in Wildwood.

When it comes to updated versions of the original Oathbound books, I'd still be willing to pay, but my own preference would be for new material like Eclipse before a redo of material I already have versions of.

7 in many ways is an up date to the whole campaign you will find races and class's and up dated info for all the areas of the forge it really is a monster of a project with enough content to fill 5 books.

Thanks for the link. I'd noticed the PDFs gone from Onebookshelf and Paizo, and didn't turn up that site on a quick hunt.
Oathbound Seven is a good update for Pathfinder, but it just doesn't have the space to cover all the details of, for example, the major rivers and lakes in Wildwood described in that region's sourcebook, so it's good to see the older stuff still available all in one place for anyone who wants it.

I can make the old PDFs available on OBS is there is a want for them. They took them down because someone other than us was selling them, and they didn't have the rights.
I would like to update the content in those books, but it's more work than it sounds and isn't a priority now. The goal was to have all the useful game content in Seven, and the old books still available for "fluff" reference.

As long as the books are legitimately available somewhere, I don't see a pressing requirement for them to be on any particular site.
Of course if you're in a position to also release PDF versions of Plains of Penance, Wrack and Ruin, and Mysteries of Arena which have never been available AFAIK, I'd welcome that. If not, well I have the dead tree versions anyway and they're still for sale for anyone else who needs them from you.

We have all those books in pdf format somewhere. The only one we don't have is the original DOF book, as the file didn't convert well from pagemaker to indesign, and the pdf is lost. I suppose I could probably take a week and rework that one, but I don't have a week.

After we finish this Eclipse project, I'll see about putting the old PDFs back up on OBS.

Any word on the re-release on the PDFs? I'd love to get more wildwood info.

If material from the old books got folded into Seven I might like to see what else might come out for the areas. Eclipse has been a fun read so far and I expect good things from the copy of 7 I'm getting from Lulu. But if there are any more print books available I'd be interested in them too.

Funny, we stopped doing print because too many people said they had run out of room on their physical bookshelves.

I wanted to do print on demand for this, but I had trouble finding a POD printer that does 11x8.5 landscape. (And I actually work for the about biggest POD printer out there.)
The best option was for 10x8, but that would require a redo of the layout, which I didn't have time to do (we are actually pretty busy working on new stuff now).

One option if you really want one is a sideways POD print, with the spine on top. Would that interest you?
