If they were going to do thstz they would have put it through UA. Since they didn't, they won't. They have already touted that there will be character options, but they are also touting 7 Feats as a plethora in Planescape, soooo...

Not that I mind all that much, maps and adventure hooks are more helpful to me than PC options.

I could easily see stuff like the Glitching showing up in the Book.

The Glitchling was a Rogue Mordon in a cheap disguise so as not to spoil a future produce annoucement. Even before the Planescape books were announced, people were saying "Gee this looks an awful lot like a Mordon." But evidently they couldn't get it into a version they were happy with, since there's no Mordon species stats on offer in the final books.

In theory, sure. Practically speaking, doubtful.

We will see come November

If they were going to do thstz they would have put it through UA. Since they didn't, they won't.

They didn't re-playtest the race/species options in Monsters of the Multiverse, or the updated Bladesinger and baseline Artificer in Tasha's (if I recall correctly - it's admittedly been a while).

They've had a pretty full UA schedule with the '24 playtest as it is, so relatively minor revisions to subclasses that already have an existing "install base" seems sensible to me.

Book of Many Things has always seemed like a Xanathar/Tasha style book to my eyes, but again, we'll know for sure once we start getting more concrete info next month or so.

I can see why some felt gipped ...

Mod note:
So, many folks are not aware that "gipped" is a reference to a negative stereotype of the Roma people, sometimes referred to as "Gypsies". Which means you just kind of casually threw an insulting racial slur in there.

Maybe in the future, try another phrasing, please? Thanks.

But that's the thing, it precisely hasn't been positioned that way: in 192 pages, WotC is detailing a 66 card deck with maps, locations, adventure hooks, Monsters, etc. That's barely three pages per card.

Only if every card is getting the full treatment, rather than focusing on adventure hooks for cards that cause something to happen (some NPC of note becomes your enemy/ally, you gain a noble title, etc.), monsters for card associated with summoning monsters, and so on.

A pretty full treatment seems likely, about 3 pages in average based on thebpage count, with a smidgen of intro material. There's no room in the product as described for anything resembling a Xanathar's/Tasha crunch dump.

Those DiTerlizzi covers are looking very nice so far!
