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?

Bringing this thread back to MGTF, I wonder if we will be getting more Gods listed for each setting? And what about Yugoloths like Charon?

I hope it has playable Bladelings, 4e had playable Bladelings. Maybe as a subrace of Planetouched.

Anything is possible, but somehow I think not too likely: I think gods are enough for their own book!

I'm not talking indepth, maybe just an appendix to fill in the blanks.

Planetouched subrace speculation:

Shadowfell: Shadar Kai
Archon: Bladelings
Far Realms: Foul Born
Hell: Hellbred
Mechanus:???
Limbo:???
Upper Planes:???
Other Lower Planes: ???
Inner Planes: ???
Feywild: Feytouched.

So I may have missed something since the 4th ed, but I thought Asmodeus ended the Blood War when he plunged the Abyss into the Elemental Chaos. Has it reignited in 5th ed?

In FR at least it restarted with Sundering reordering the FR cosmos. The twist is I think some of the Succubi may have rebelled against Asnodeus, so now they aren't demons or devils, ironically making them impossible to summon by Wizards or Warlocks short of a Gate Spell (which confers no control over them), now only Clerics and Divine Souls with Planar Ally can summon them, which is also true for Yugoloths, Rakashas, Night Hags, Nightmares, and Cambions.

Morrus had a typo too! Tomb of Foes

Probably a joke, didn't it seem funny

EDIT: Misread the product description. This book is 192 pages, not 292. Meh... I'll pass.

Really?

I'm sure some of those will be mentioned but I'd be astonished if the focus was CR20+ named creatures...

Perhaps not in the "here is their statblock" format, but as "here is a bigbad with plots and minions to drive your campaign", maybe?

4E cosmology is not generally relevant in 5E.
