From 2001 through much of 2006, Bastion produced gaming products under the d20 system trademark license (part of the Open Gaming License he worked on developing with Ryan Dancey, Cindi Rice, Keith Strohm, David Wise, and others while back at Wizards). When Hasbro bought Wizards and transferred licensing operations to their corporate offices in the Pawtucket, RI, Jim talked to some investors and started Bastion Press. As Director of Licensing, he worked with companies like Interplay and Bioware on titles like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, and others. He also plotted out the revised Forgotten Realms campaign setting (along with folks like Ed Greenwood, Richard Baker, Sean Reynolds, Julia Martin, Steven Schend, and others) to match up with the new 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons game. While at Wizards of the Coast, Jim served as Brand Manager and Creative Director of both the D&D Worlds (Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Dark Sun, and others) and the science fiction 'experiment' known as Alternity. From there, Jim was ultimately hired full-time by TSR and moved to Lake Geneva, WI, where he went on to edit and design a number of products at both TSR and, ultimately, Wizards of the Coast. Shortly after returning to Wyoming, Bruce called him and gave him some 'emergency freelance work,' which was just a polite way of saying it needed to be done yesterday.

Since those glorious frozen days of yesteryear, Jim graduated high school (Go Camels!) and received degrees in both English and Business.

It was about 20-below outside, and the wild Wyoming winds were rocking the truck like a rowboat in the North Atlantic. Jim Butler knew he was hooked on Dungeons & Dragons the first time he sat in his pickup truck in 1983 writing adventures and world materials for his gaming group.
