Seriously, it'd be nice to ask for information rather then just saying
"gimme gimme gimme"

Delta World: http://cdekalb.tripod.com/ maintains a list of all power
packages, books, etc. as well as a good number of pp's from the web.

The status of the game is that AEG owns it but is not producing it
anymore. But neither are they releasing the rights back to Matt. Currently
he's looking for someone to buy it on the side so he can continue to
produce it, but he has other (paying) projects to work on, so it's slow
going.

In the meantime Matt can not produce (officially or un-officially)
anything for BNW as it would violate AEG's copyright and his contract.

I don't think Pinnacle has any plans to ever pick up the game as they are
focused on their own lines and don't really have the huge money base to
"revive" a game like BNW that a larger company would.
