A couple of further bits of speculation...

"Over 50" monsters is a bit less than expected, given that Spelljammer was around 70 for the same page count. The hierarch modrons will be 9 or 10 of those (depending on whether we get a stat block for Primus), which is a significant percentage of the total. We've previously seen a demodand in one of the illustrations, so all three types are presumably in. The game seriously needs more celestials, and this would seem to be the perfect place to add some, but how many can be squeezed in before they take up too much space? Or will they not appear at all?

Secondly, there are 12 Factions in the book, compared to the traditional 15. We've even had mention of another faction in KftGV. So, any speculation on what our new Faction line-up will be? Which ones made, and didn't make, the cut?

That upcoming cookbook has a few pages on Amazon, one of which mentions a Sensate Palate cleanser, so I think that they're in!
And I am excited to hear that about the demodands/gehreleths!

Keys from the Golden Vault specifically mentions the Fated (a classic faction) and the Fixers (a new faction).

The presence of the Tower Sorcerous on the Sigil poster map strongly suggests the Incantifers (an ancient, previously defunct faction) have made a return, as it was their headquarters and disappeared from the city when the entire faction hierarchy was Mazed by the Lady of Pain.

After the shitshow that was Dragonlance, I just cant with 5E Planescape.

On the map of the Outlands its NOT just planar towns, it shows the various divine domains on it including Wonderhome (Gond) & Thebestys on the River Ma'at Thoth's divine realm, killing the theory that some had that there wouldn't be any real world Gods reference.

That map reference might be about all we get.

Dragonlance was good, what was your problem with it? That it was not exactly the same?

Lol one of the responses is "I hope we see a stat block for the Lady of Pain." That's certainly a minority view!
