Just looking at the first few adventures published after 3E came out, we can see that all of them were written in-house.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Sunless Citadel (2000) - written by Bruce Cordell, who worked at TSR/WotC from 1995 through 2013.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Forge of Fury (2000) - written by Rich Baker, who worked at TSR/WotC from 1991 through 2011.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Speaker in Dreams (2001) - written by James Wyatt, who's worked at WotC from 2000 through to the present.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Standing Stone (2001) - written by John D. Rateliff; his Wikipedia bio says he worked for WotC, but I can't confirm the specific years of employment.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (2001) - written by Monte Cook, it was one of the last modules he wrote for WotC before leaving to start his own company.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Heart of Nightfang Spire (2001) - Bruce Cordell again.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Deep Horizon (2001) - written by Skip Williams, who joined TSR in 1976 and left WotC in 2002.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lord of the Iron Fortress (2001) - written by Andy Collins, who worked for WotC from 1996 through 2008.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bastion of Broken Souls (2002) - Bruce Cordell again.</li> </ul>Now, later on we saw freelancers stepping up, such as Gwendolyn Kestrel (Scourge of the Howling Horde, 2006) and Ari Marmell (Fortress of the Yuan-ti, 2007). But even then, they still had in-house writers such as Dave Noonan (The Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde, 2006) and Ed Stark (Barrow of the Forgotten King, 2007) writing adventures.</blockquote>
