Coming in May: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes! [UPDATED!]

So they just gave the title and showed the cover mock-ups; no specific info till Monday?

 

[gyor]

Ya for sure. I expect we get a big section on the Blood Wars and how that bleeds into the material plane, where they detail the cults for us. I also expect both ArchDevils and Demon Lords to get stat blocks (for the Demon Lords it will be mostly reprints from Out of the Abyss).

I kind of want Succubi Queens/Kings as well as Archdemons and Archdevils, like Malcanthet, Shae Amori, and so on.

WotC has been ham-fistedly previewing the book for a couple months

I agree with ham-fisted. Not so sure about previewing.

Yeah. When even the people reporting D&D news don’t know about it...

Previewing is the wrong word. But they have been hinting at this type of product heavily for the past few weeks/month. Hell go look at the comments on the pending announcement thread and you can see where I and a few others correctly guessed the general theme of the book, and possibly contents (we will find out more Monday when they do the press release).

So while they did not preview the book directly, they have covered a lot of topics in the book through Beyond video's, UA's, and Dragon Talk segments.

They overestimate the reach of this stuff.

Well, they've been talking about the material that will be on the book, to the extent that the topic of the next book was apparent.

 

[Parmandur]

They overestimate the reach of this stuff.

Do they...?

 

[Morrus]

Do they...?

Do you want me to answer “yes” or “no”?

 

[Zardnaar]

I think the hints are for the hardcore to have fun guessing etc.

We will know more soon I suppose.

Yeah, I guess I’m not hardcore any more. Somebody else should have my job!
