[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6664724, member: 37579"] The linked content is deceptively large. Keep in mind that a lot of the quoted products were small adventures. We've seen arguably more pages of adventure text than 1e-3e. [I]Tyranny of Dragons[/I] alone is equivalent to [I]six[/I] 32-page adventures. The 1e list in particular contains some 16-page modules, which were actually reprints of old convention modules. Arguably, [I]Princes of the Apocalypse[/I] alone contains more adventure material than was released in all of 1978. The 2e list includes some Basic D&D content. The 3.0e list is a little longer than it should be, including products that came out closer to a year-and-a-half after launch. The 3.5e list includes [I]Fiend Folion, [/I][I]Ghostwalk[/I], and [I]Savage Species[/I], which were 3.0 products. The 3.5e books also had the advantage of updating a lot of the Prestige Classes and content from the small 3.0e class sourcebooks. 5e is slow. But still faster than 1e and comparable to 3.0 in adventure (if not more content). The big difference is that 5e doesn't have PC content. And if you remove the PC option books from any edition's schedule, they look at lot more comparable to the number of releases for 5e. [/QUOTE]
