That would be me.

Eden was always a small company, but they lost their big money maker
when Fox pulled the Buffy and Angel licenses.

They have people pop online on RPG.net every now and again. Apparently
the next book will be pirates ("Arrr, There Be Zombies"  or something
like that) and after that is their World War II book ("Band of
Zombies").

But you're right. It's hard to take them seriously these days. I
bought "Conspiracy X 2.0" (in Unisystem) during my big AFMBE phase and
it's a really good game system. I then bought a raft of the old ConX
books for ideas (mostly for "Delta Green"). The books are good, but
for the older (not Unisystem) system. They were intending to release
new source books that took the old material and convert it to
Unisystem, but that still hasn't happened.

Unisystem is one of those systems lots of people wish would go the
Open Gaming License route.

It should be noted that while AFMBE is a zombie game and all the
supplements have zombie themes, it's really easy to remove the zombie
stuff. "All Tomorrow's Zombies" has cool spaceship and alien
construction rules. One of the best Western games out there is AFMBE
with "Fistful O' Zombies". About the only supplement I wasn't crazy
about was "Zombie Smackdown".
