The novel The City And The City could almost be Urban Fantasy, as there was certainly this idea of a veil and an "unseen world", but it didn't quite have magic in it like many of China Mieville's other novels. As for a new setting, I think the days of having new expansive, excessively detailed...

Which "hub" can I see this on?

I think single class Monk that uses an attack action and then uses flurry to attack more is probably the better thing most of the time as they get 5 attacks. Maybe if they got the ability to use a cantrip such as through species like Tiefling, then it might be better just using attack + flurry...

I know it's really hard to get all classes implemented, but I think with the last game there was at least 3 class/species DLC before they had everything covered and that was 2014 rules. This time around they might not ever have Aasimar since that's not OGL apparently.

At least they're still using references to Spelljammer

Assassin Rogue is quite close to a more historical Ninja. And Warrior of the Shadow Monk, fits most ideas of mystical Ninja. It generally be more of a background in 5e, as you could argue that many classes with certain subclasses could be one. Gloomstalker Ranger, Illusionist Wizard, Arcane...

Shadowfell is still the Dark Reflection plane, in much the same way Feywild is still the Bright Reflection plane. The domains on either plane exists in the "Deep" of those planes.

Cthulhu is mentioned as a Great Old One patron in the PHB already, so this is simply them confirming Cthulhu's presence in the D&D multiverse though I would assume they would have been found in the Far Realm with Azatoth rather than a Domain of Dread. I remember a fanon theory in 2e that...

Because Dark Lord Florida Man, did something really horrible

I wonder if it'll have Booming Blade and Green Flame Blade updated.

I'm very sure many of the changes to the Dark Lords remain. They did have Viktra Mordenheim in a recent novel, I think that's a clear sign that the Dark Powers decided that Mordenheim should be Viktra for a while, as they continue to torment Mordenheim from reincarnation to reincarnation

Lupin as in the dog PC species from Mystara? While I guess it's sort of Werewolf themed for the book, without being the Shifter.

The complete rebuild of the platform is consistent with job-postings I saw about DnDBeyond, they've been doing the rebuild for a while.

The idea of Psionic disciplines back in 2e and carrying over into 3e and beyond has some basis in the Hindu concept of Siddhis With the 8 classical Siddhis as an example: Aṇimā: the ability to reduce one's body to the size of an atom. Mahimā: the ability to expand one's body to an infinitely...

Now that I'm back home and looking at the 2024 DMG, Yggdrasil is described on page 178 and there's a picture of a branch with a portal on the next page. It's a planar pathway like it was in 2e Planescape, along with River Styx, River Oceanus and the Infinite Staircase. Though the lore on...
