Just as the title suggests. Now that we've gotten a lot more Bastion facilities spread across a few books, can we get a Bastion section under the Rules menu (top of the page), under subsection Browse, to be able to more easily find what is currently available.
Additional suggestion, maybe a Bastion section under Homebrew as well. I would love to see what kind of ideas the community comes up with.
Bastions aren't part of the SRD/Basic Rules so it wouldn't make sense to add them to the rules drop down given that every option in that menu has content regardless of purchases
So bookmark pages on half a dozen different manuals? Interesting. I think I would rather use my solution, considering a solution is better than no solution. Even if you personally don't find it perfect.

No, I was suggesting bookmarking one page, the Bastions section. Although I do have several non-SRD pages bookmarked for quick reference. I think it's a better UX experience than populating the menus with options that lead to other a "you can't access this" page or an upsell in the marketplace.

I think the issue with that is that there are Bastion facilities in four different official sources now, and no centralized location where you can see all of them the way you can with classes, species, feats, etc. Perhaps we could have a "Bastions" option under "Rules" that displays them the way those other screens do, but which only appears if you have access to at least one of those sources.

Precisely and at least one more book, if the present trend holds, that will add even more facilities before the year is over. Having a place that my players can go to see all the options, like they can with Feats, would be beneficial for helping them navigate the newer system.
I'm trying to run a game where the difficulty for my players doesn't lie in finding options to add to their Bastions, that are spread across 5 books (possibly up to 8 or more by the end of next year), but rather in navigating the actual campaign and playing their characters.

Oh that makes total sense, I forgot that there were more bastion options. Then yeah, I can immediately see the value in such a menu option.

Apologies, I was being myopic and forgot how dispersed Bastion options were. Consolidating them in their own section would make sense. And DDB clearly does have dynamic menus as a technical option, so it's possible to have a Bastions menu display only if you have suitable access.
I guess the more useful input from me is what would be the expected behaviour if you own a bastion expansion source, but not the DMG? A listings page might still make sense, but should there still be a menu button?

So what is your suggestion to make it easier to navigate?
I don't think there's any need, it's Dungeon Master's Guide > Bastions Chapter
If you use it a lot, bookmarks are a feature of all modern web browsers
