Hey guys. I thought I'd step in and answer some of the questions that I can. It's Dragon's exclusive thing to make the actual announcement, and so I can't really address that--I can say that it's a new PRODUCT announcement. It's got nothing to do with Wizards or movies or anything like that. It's not going to change the world or anything, but I think it's cool. Really cool, in fact. I hope you will too. (The ultimate "coolness" of it won't be as apparent as it will when you actually see it in the store, but there you go.)
We do have more products coming for AE as well, although not yet announced. Expect a big magic-related Arcana Evolved book to be announced soon though. The big project is not an AE book, however. It instead zeroes in on the heart of 3rd edition and the core rules. That, in fact, is the point of it, although it may not seem that way at first glance.
It's not Planescape. I'll say that right up front because I don't want people's hopes dashed. I'm very sympathetic toward those of you that would like to see PS return. I'd like to see it to, although I can't imagine working with WotC on it nor can I imagine WotC licensing out properties like that anymore. (I could be wrong, though--things change.)
I've really enjoyed reading this thread for all the joke guesses. I laughed out loud more than once. (It would be the height of irony to turn Orc and Pie into a 640 page book, since the point of that was to be the shortest product ever.)
I will say the following quote is so true that it almost scares me, making me want to check the kitchen for hidden microphones:
