WotC's Chris Perkins discusses Spelljammer's space clowns in a new video.

Remember, the best way to defeat a band of evil clowns is to go for the juggler.

A pint of greasepaint for this boy! A true fool if ever I‘ve seen one!

How about space clowns as a warlock patron?

 

[Tallifer]

I would play a happy Space Jester who brings joy and quirky wisdom in verse to everyone. Wamba from "Ivanhoe." Jar Jar.

How about space clowns as a warlock patron?

An Infernal Warlock with an Entertainer Background? Brilliant.

All they’ve done so far is highlight a list of weird-ish races (though not the Neogi yet),

There's an article on Polygon that brings them up and I kid you not, Polygon asked Crawford if the space-slaver spider-eels (along with the squid faced brain eating abominations) we're going to be "always evil."
