He's said (officially and unofficially) that psionics will happen with Dark Sun, where it has the most story importance. He also said the psion wizard is a proof of concept that is not intended to even be playtested, simply to show that the psion--as its own class, the mystic--is necessary, as the core rules of 5e cover far too little of what psionics is expected to do.

It seems to me, the *only* difficulty with the psion wizard is the selection and flavor of pertinent spells. Just like Xanathars supplied the missing elemental spells, a future book can supply the missing psychic spells.

Even so, there are enough decent spells already to make the psion wizard work well enough, even without tweaking.

I was kinnnnnddddaaa hoping for a bit more of the specific details. I'm a 2e/Spelljammer veteran, but I never had any of the Skullport material, and I've never heard of any other Spelljamming ports that weren't accessible to the sky. Now, there might be some, as it's not one of my areas of expertise, but based on what I do know it just stands out as a big

IIRC correctly, the Spelljammers use a secret underground river to get into the port?

my Underdark itch was already scratched by OotA, so I hope they spin it as a city adventure, or organized crime war.

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.

Bear in mind that we only have a sample size of one. There's nothing to stop them opening any other setting at any time and for any reason. They could, for instance, decide to open up a few settings as a means to judge interest - if nobody writes for Birthright (for instance) then they know not to bother with a Birthright adventure. (And, conversely, if there's a sudden flurry of Birthright material, maybe they rethink that.)

Well I think it’s Eberron and will be disappointed when it inevitably is not

Then he just referenced it again during the news segment that he thought Mike doing psionics during his show was gutsy since he knows the release schedule. He implied again that Mike was risking spoilers. And even said that doing psionics on his show was 'flying a little close to the sun'

And the way he said sun, made me think Dark Sun.

I just watched the bit you're referring to, and Stewart clearly over-emphasizes the word "sun" when he says this. He's definitely trying to tease Dark Sun and psionics; the only question is whetehr he's pranking us in doing so.

Remember that they will almost certainly be announcing not one but two books during the "Stream of Many Eyes" -- Broadway and Catacomb -- and possibly three (the rumored fourth book for 2018).

What if its Waterdeep is only a distraction? What if Stream of Many Eyes is meant to hide the codename ''Stream of Many I's''? Quick everybody, find the alliterate name for book that would contain as many ''I''s as possible!
