[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 3308305, member: 3586"] I think you've drawn a false conclusion here. * Sword & Fist, Defenders of the Faith, etc. were reprinted (and expanded), though with different titles. * There are very few 3.0 generic D&D books that aren't adventures. A look at books of 3e: "Psionic's Handbook" - redone in 3.5e "Song and Silence" - redone in 3.5e as Complete Adventurer "Sword and Fist" - redone in 3.5e as Complete Warrior "Tome and Blood" - redone in 3.5e as Complete Arcane "Defenders of the Faith" - redone in 3.5e as Complete Divine "Masters of the Wild" - redone in 3.5e (split between Complete books) "Hero Builder's Guidebook" - poorly received "Enemies and Allies" - poorly received "Manual of the Planes" - crunchy bits incorporated in DMG 3.5e "Book of Challenges" - basically bits of an adventure, so no need to reprint. "Book of Vile Darkness" - not reprinted "Deities and Demigods" - poorly received "Epic Level Handbook" - poorly received, crunchy bits incorporated in DMG 3.5e and Complete books "Monster Manual II" - web update to 3.5e "Stronghold Builder's Guidebook" - poorly received "Arms and Equipment Guide" - hmm. MIC? "Savage Species" - rules incorporated in 3.5e; almost 3.5e itself. "Fiend Folio" - almost 3.5e That's the complete list of generic D&D products for 2000 until the July 2003 release of 3.5e. [i]There weren't many books[/i]. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
