Coming in May: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes! [UPDATED!]

So they just gave the title and showed the cover mock-ups; no specific info till Monday?

Wow, the first one where the special cover is not ugly. Will still buy the normal version as I prefer all things in a collection to share the same style.

This was my dilemma. I want my books to share the same style but this is the first time where the special edition cover looks better than the standard.

So, from the Dragon+ preview, we now know that we'll be seeing Geryon, maruts (and possibly the other inevitables), and the astral dreadnought covered in the book. Also, there will be setting-specific information on player races (dwarves in the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, and Dragonlance were specifically mentioned).

I'm curious as to what else we'll see, especially with this releasing in August.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned today's Unearthed Arcana, even outside this thread. It's a preview of a page from MToF, with some duergar personality/background charts:

https://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/UA_preview_duergar.pdf


So, this is page 84, and is in Chapter 3 of the book "Dwarves and Duergar".

A few days ago, we got this preview:

...which shows us that page 96 is in Chapter 4 "Gith and their Endless War". We know that Chapter 1 is on the Blood War, and presumably Chapter 2 is Drow vs Elves. Given the page counts of these previews, I'm guessing we're going to get a pretty substantial chapter on the Blood War to start this book off...

Considering I have not seen WotC, Crawford or Mearls post about this at all today on Facebook or Twitter, I am not surprised that no one has mentioned it til you just now did. The leak by Stewart I think I saw talked about briefly somewhere here, just not in this thread.

It’s a day after GaryCon, they are bushed. As am I

I'm hard pressed to think of a less interesting page to preview...
