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?

Nice; the leaked information was wrong on that count, then.

That or they changed the number count to avoid cutting some content. Either way, can't complain about MORE content so I am happy!

 

[Hutchimus Prime]

I wonder if we could even see some info on the Shade/Cormyr/Myth Drannor War from the Sundering with info on Shades and War of the Lance from Dragonlance with info on Draconians?

Looks cool. Tip to EGG is nice.

Of course, it would be natural to follow this up with a true (multi) planar AP. That doesn't mean we will get it.

Patience. Remember the AP that came out after Volos Dinosaurs? Patience.

It just seems to be a bit of a pattern

There are patterns within patterns, my friend....but, I think this could be the first time that a product released earlier in the year could tie-in with products later in the year. This is provided we get more planar or even more setting/multiverse stuff this year.

This is the fun type of speculation!

Cool - maybe we will get some Archdevils

If we do get sub-races, I'm hoping for those Tiefling Subraces we saw in a recent UA

I could see a chapter on "cosmic conflict and your campaign world." Something like: 1) Cosmic Conflict Largely Happened Millennia Ago (example Nethir Vale and Greek mythology), 2) Cosmic Conflict sporadically touches the mortal world (example Eberron), 3) Cosmic Conflict is ongoing (example the Blood War), 4) End Times Cosmic Conflict is Coming (example Norse mythology), and 5) Cosmic Conflict Ended Recently and World Sucks (example Dark Sun). [There probably isn't much need for Cosmic Conflict Ended Recently and World has Never Been Better.] There are some subtle (and not so subtle) differences in how you would play hostile outsiders based on those scenarios: the fiend who is hiding from the Forces of [Good/Law/whatever] and only causing trouble if it can't get caught vs. the fiend who thinks its time is now and has no problem running around causing trouble.....

That's my assumption.
