D&D (2024) Wizards Presents show on August 18th! Update: WotC announces guests and time.

There have also been all of those black obelisks in the APs, which were linked to Vecna....and we've had a lot of Vecna talk recently. Could be something to that as well.

Really?! What book? RW Ajani was best Ajani.

Ah, apparently it's a book that hasn't actually been published yet, but which Amazon put up preview images that were heavy on spoilers. Specifically, it's Magic: the Gathering - The Visual Guide.

You can see the (extremely terse) statements in images on this site. The original Amazon previews have been removed, to no one's surprise. There are more spoilers than just the one I gave above, though, so if you're concerned about that sort of thing, be forewarned. The Ajani stuff is the first thing, though, so you can look at that without spoilers.

Edit: Given the prominent position they're giving to both Ajani and Jaya in the art, and that Teferi is the third planeswalker in said art, I have a suspicion that time-travel or multi-timeline shenanigans are going to be involved. So there's a possibility that we get to both have our cake and eat it too.

They copped to it readily enough though. Just long enough to maintain plausible deniability to August 18th, perhaps?

That's been my theory as well.

Planescape setting with a tie-in Great Modron March AP (since it visits all the Outer Planes, each chapter can be a mini-setting for each plane outside of the general info in the main Planescape book). We'll have rogue modrons (perhaps still under the "glitchling" name), and hopefully also the hierarch modrons finally covered as well...

Vecna fits in where?

Vecna fits in where?

Everywhere!

Mostly though, it was noted that he was the one who created all those obelisks. Or at the very least, he's taken credit for it.

wait! Spoiler, I can’t mention what of cause that alone is a spoiler, just if you don’t want a spoiler for anything new D&D adjacent, avoid.

Spoiler

Vecna is mentioned in the new novel!

I've started watching "Legends of the Multiverse," and he was mentioned as coming back. I wouldn't be surprised if it's marketing in action!

I think a Planescape slipcase similar to Spelljammer would make a lot of sense: a Planar bestiary, a Great Modron March "Plane of the Week" campaign, and a Planar Adventurers Guide.

Got a chance to flip through it at Gen Con...?

Wait! If true then this goes back to the first AP and season 1 of ST?!
