I was kind of thinking of the timing of the release of the various new heroes in conjunction with what official releases were out at the time.
Somebody check my chronology here...
Now when the Bard, Warlock, and Druid were created, there was the GS, KK, ROTWL, SQT, PoT, and CoPD (since they were part of the Mythic tier of the Haslab campaign). The only other official material to come out in this period was Rogar's Hall online quest's debut (while we were still waiting on the Haslab campaign to finish).
The retail release of GS, KK, ROTWL coincided with the Mythic (and later Heroic) sets being shipped out and it was around this time we got the limited run Guardian Knight hero collection. [Incredibly this was the same time frame for "The Forsaken Tunnels of Xor Xel" to come out digitally.]
Within a short time (2022) we got the slim box version of the GS, then the Frozen Horror. [we got "Into the Northlands" digitally too]
The Rogue Heir of Elethorn came out a few months later at the end of 2022. [this was the year we got "New Beginnings" digital)
Then we got Mage of the Mirror and Rise of the Dread Moon in 2023. ["Knightfall" digitally accompanied ROTDM]
Path of the Wandering Monk came out a few months later. PoT & SQT saw their retail release around this time.
Early 2024 we got ATOH and later in the year we got JoD.
FL was early 2025 and Joe's CoPD (retail release) later the same year. [Dread on the Horizon was released that year and has yet to see an official digital release, except in the app]
WOM was early 2026 (well, there were distribution issues and the early release, but still). [Return of the Witch Queen was released but not posted officially]
And as an aside, the FanRoll dice releases fell several months after each of several releases... ROTDM, JoD, FL, and now WOM (official release of the expansion in March, dice set for December release). Of course these are purely aesthetic, I was just thinking about this. When there are lists of "HQ expansions" often these get overlooked.
