Undermountain confirmed.

How so? I mean how you know for sure?

 

[Parmandur]

I'm totally sure about the fact that the Mordenkainen's book will never open neither Greyhawk nor Planescape to be used by DMsGuild authors.

Why? It may or may not, but I see no cause for certainty, much less so that they won't later this year. They have stated they plan to release more settings for use.

 

[Jester David]

Does sound like a Xanathar/ Waterdeep adventure.
Possibly Undermountain. Maybe inspired by Eye of the Beholder.

I like that it starts at a reasonable time on Friday rather than the middle of the work day.

 

[Pjack]

And undermountain means Skullport means spelljamming means psionics. Me=happy

How so? I'm afraid I don't know the lore.

Because they'll use an adventure to open settings, like done with Curse of Strahd, IMO. A simple fluffy framework like 'Mordenkainen presents new monsters' is not sufficient to open Greyhawk on DMsGuild, like Mordenkainen's cameo in Curse of Strahd has not been.

I take the above as confirmation. I could be wrong, but I have not been about anything, ever, so far, so.....

Yeah, I don't see it either. I'd love some psionics, too, but they really are not very deeply tied to Spelljammer. Plus the link of Undermountain to Spelljammer isn't very strong either. As much as I would like to see some Spelljammer someday, I would really, really not get my hopes up that if there's use of Undermountain that means there would be Spelljammer and Psionics. The 3e version of Undermountain had zero references to Spelljammer, for example.

Don't want to be a spoilsport, and would gladly be wrong, but I wouldn't get too excited that it will happen unfortunately.

 

[jgsugden]

I don't see the artifact reference, but ... Halaster's 7 Apprentices... Rod of 7 Parts... maybe...

 

[Curmudjinn]

Undermountain is under Mt Waterdeep, which also holds Skullport, a massive trade center for the underdark and also a spelljammer port. And psionics were a regular thing with some of the spelljamming races.

Some of the creatures of Tome of Foes make me think this might all be a possibility.

You have to hunt it down. People immediately blabbed about the Morse code hashtag rather than letting people solve that clue, so I won't mention where I found that teaser yet. It's not a big one, but it's out there. I'm hoping there will be more little clues over the next month (and possibly other ones out now to find).
