Title Confusion
Arcana Unearthed is not to be confused with Unearthed Arcana, the title of two books published in 1985 and 2004, both of which provided additional material for use in the then-current version of Dungeons & Dragons. The name Arcana Unearthed was chosen partially as a homage to the earlier of these two books. The announcement of the 2004 version came as an unpleasant surprise to Cook and some of his fans, who had believed they had an understanding with Wizards of the Coast that this title would not be re-used in the near future. (Cook praised the book itself, however, calling the 2004 Unearthed Arcana "Probably the best book released since 3rd Edition began" in the introduction to Monte Cook Presents: The Year's Best D20, Volume 1.)
