Because WizKids' own new BattleTech game, [[MechWarrior: Dark Age]], was set some seven decades in the future from where the classic BattleTech had been left off, FanPro was not allowed to continue the timeline beyond the year [[3067]], giving WizKids the opportunity to shape the [[Jihad era]] between 3067 and the new game's [[Dark Age era]] however they wanted to serve as a background for their MechWarrior: Dark Age game. However, many of the authors working for FanPro LLC also worked for WizKids at the same time so the BattleTech timeline was still more or less in the same hands.

From 2001 to 2005, FanPro US released over a dozen original Shadowrun titles and reprinted core BattleTech titles that FASA had originally released, with a new cover and a FanPro product number, often in revised editions that included errata, and in the case of ''[[MechWarrior, Third Edition]]'' also with a renaming to ''[[Classic BattleTech RPG]]'', to avoid confusion with the MechWarrior: Dark Age game line. They continued to release new Classic BattleTech books in English, and in 2006 released [[Total Warfare]], the first in a series of revised full-color books for Classic BattleTech. FanPro Germany continued to translate these books and publish them in Germany, along with German-only Shadowrun books. Conversely, FanPro US published The Dark Eye, a translated English edition of ''Das Schwarze Auge''.
