Eden Studios and Bizzaro Games announced that Eden will co-produce, publish, and distribute future Bizzaro Games products.  There are currently three d20 products in the pipeline from Bizzaro, although none are scheduled yet.   First up is the SpirosBlaak setting by Steven Trustrum with Christina Stiles, which is heavy on lycanthropes and blackpowder weapons.  Also in production are Fantastic Technology, a sourcebook, and a d20 Modern release, Odyssey Prime. 

 

Eden has also produced d20 products, as well as a variety of other RPG and CCG products including the recently optioned All Flesh Must Be Eaten (see 'Walking with the Dead') and the just-released Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG (see 'Eden Studios to Produce Buffy RPG'). 

 

This consolidation of efforts comes at the same time as Fast Forward announced that it will be handling sales and marketing for Sovereign Press (see 'Fast Forward To Distribute Sovereign Press').   The economics for small game publishers are difficult until sufficient scale is achieved; agreements such as these help accumulate that scale under a variety of business models with varying degrees of integration.
