[QUOTE="Olive, post: 506046, member: 1297"] the catalog this is all mentioned in was probably at the printers by the time monte announced arcarna unearthed to us. that said, monte did tell them he was doing it, and asked if he could use the name... I don't know this for sure, but i'd imagine that if you compared sales prices for WotC supplements and Malhavoc sups, you'd see that Monte's figures are amazing for a 3rd party publisher, but no where near the sales for WotC... didn't they sell 500,000 copies fo the PHB or something? where as i'm pretty sure that Monte said that the combined sales figures for the Books of Eldritch Might were 14,000 or so... That combined with the fact that Monte's books are kinda 'wierd fantasy' IMO, that DnD has ALWAYS been the biggest selling RPG and the fact that WotC has market penetration beyond Sword and Sorcery's wildest dreams mean that if WotC are scared by Monte, then they obviously don't have enough to do at work. Given what we know about a large percentage of their other books (Races of Faerun, Ghostwalk etc), the chances are that the revised core books are already written and are at the design (as in graphic not R&D) stage now, with revisions in the early part of next year, and then a two month window for print and distro. Nah, I don't reckon that they're scared of Monte at all... To Felon and KDLadage: I obviously came off harsher than i meant to... sorry guys. :) [/QUOTE]
