[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8409688, member: 7015558"] Listening to the panel again, and interestingly on the two new settings is that Perkins specifically says that the last time they made entirely new setting like this was Eberron. Meaning, in this definition Strixhaven is not really an "entirely new setting." So the new settings are not Magic the Gathering related at all, even if they are new to that (like say New Capenna). The book being announced will "goes into a place we've never been to before" that is "wonderful, scary, players will be absolutely terrified when they go into it, setting." Not sure if Spelljammer counts for that, as its not entirely new. [ATTACH type="full" width="463px"]144471[/ATTACH] And on the topic of this alt-cover... now that I've looked at it closer, that background behind Boo is [I]definitely [/I]an eye (probably surrounded by more eyes). It's got veins, and a little reflection much like how eyes are typically drawn. Another thing is how Boo is mentioned so prominently, and that he is a miniature-giant-space-hammer, but his owner Minsc is not mentioned at all. Anyway, it's really hard to think this cover is anything but Spelljammer. With Boo (and the comment specifically on how he's a Spelljammer creature), and likely a Beholder or Beholder-Craft Spelljammer looming behind him, this alt-cover [I]SCREAMS [/I]Spelljamming. That said, I doubt the book announced next month will be this one. If the alt-cover is only just a sketch so recently, I'd be surprised if they announce it so soon (it would need both cover and alt-cover ready for announcing). But this book does nicely fit as the Annual Big Adventure for 2022. [/QUOTE]
