[QUOTE="ggroy, post: 5287727, member: 83805"] Further looking back into history and examining the 3E D&D release schedule, it appears WotC "front loaded" the 2001 3E D&D release schedule to the first half of 2001 or so. [U]2001[/U] - Song and Silence: A Guidebook to Bards and Rogues (December) - FR Lords of Darkness (November) - (module) Deep Horizon (October) - Enemies and Allies (October) - Oriental Adventures (October) - Manual of the Planes (September) - FR Magic of Faerun (August) - (module) Heart of Nightfang Spire (July) - Tome and Blood: A Guidebook to Wizards and Sorcerers (July) - (module) Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (June) - Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (June) - Defenders of the Faith: A Guidebook of Clerics and Paladins (May) - (module) The Standing Stone (April) - (module) Diablo II: To Hell & Back (March) - Psionics Handbook (March) - Monster Compendium: Monsters of Faerun (February) - (module) The Speaker in Dreams (January) - Sword and Fist: A Guidebook to Fighters and Monks (January) It appears most of the generic player oriented splatbooks (and even modules) were "front loaded" for release in the first half of 2001 or so. In the latter part of 2001, it was more slim pickings with stuff like "FR Magic of Faerun", "Manual of the Planes", "Enemies and Allies", "FR Lords of Darkness", or "Oriental Adventures" which were either DM oriented stuff or specialized stuff for a particular setting (FR, Oriental Adventures). It would not be surprising if they were already seeing a slight slump in sales, in the latter part of 2001. [/QUOTE]
