Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 7730934" data-attributes="member: 7006">My prediction (updated):Marathon will still be a planar gazeteer, talking about the Feywild, Shadowfell, Astral, Elemental Planes (and E Chaos), and the Outer Planes.  It will include a whole mass of races and racial variants, many of which are geared towards the various planes and/or the various campaign settings.  We've already gotten a bunch of Tieflings (which align to the nine layers of hell), the Eladrin (connected to the Feywild) various Elves (including one specifically called out as Greyhawkian, and the Shadar-Kai listed as Shadowfellian), and both Gith (identified in the D&D Beyond video with Mearls as Astral based).  I also wouldn't be surprised if we get some info on Shifters and Warforged, maybe a wild halfling variant from Dark Sun, maybe the Thri-kreen, maybe the Minotaur gets his official book debut etc.  There also may or may not be specific information about the other campaign settings (although I tend to doubt it).  It'll probably be identified as something like 'Primus' Guide To The Planes', where it's all about the Modron walkabout across the multiverse (with the added pun of races being the primary player-geared information.With both Broadway and Catacomb being listed as "Adventures"... I think these might actually be a pair of APs that are both thematically similar, but cover different functions that WotC's been hinting at as wanting to do-- other settings *and* high-level adventures.I still think Broadway could be referencing Sigil-- bright lights, big city.  It would be a planar-hopping adventure, most likely high-level.  Maybe starting at 10 and getting up to 17 to 20.  Obviously it would make use of a lot of the planar information we would have received both in Xanathar's (Horizon Walker, anyone?) and the Marathon book.  Then for Catacomb (aka 'Dungeon')... they realized they didn't have enough "campaign setting specific" player content from Greyhawk, Eberron, Dark Sun and Dragonlance to fill an entire book.  So while yes, we'll get the Mystic; yes we'll get the Artificer; yes, there might be wizard subclasses for the three Dragonlance wizard schools, and rules for Defiling/Preserving, and Dragonmarks... but to use all of this stuff *and* to give players lower-level adventures if they didn't want to do high-level plane-hopping... they give us a dungeon adventure set in each of the four settings (and they open all four settings to the DMsGuild.)  Whether these would be "reprints" of revious Greyhawk, Eberron, Dark Sun, and Dragonlance modules, or they'd be newly written by various people, I don't know.But at the end of 2018... I'm fairly certain we're getting planar information, psionics, artificing, and a high-level adventure somewhere somehow.  Because that's everything that's been hinted at by Mearls, Perkins, Stewart, Tito and the rest.</blockquote>
