D&D 5E New Unearthed Arcana: Wonders of the Multiverse

WotC has posted a new Unearthed Arcana featuring the Glitchling race, the Fate domain, and a handful of backgrounds, feats and spells.

In today’s Unearthed Arcana, we explore D&D character options from across the multiverse. This playtest document presents the glitchling race; the Fate Domain cleric subclass; and the gate warden, giant foundling, planar philosopher, and rune carver backgrounds. Additionally, a collection of new feats provide links to giants and other primordial forces of the planes, while a selection of new spells highlight the power of fate and chance.

To be fair, it does seem to be more generally "planar" focused rather than straight up Sigil, but this is the sort of thing I'd expect if they were doing a Planescape/Manual of the Planes type book.

So does this count as the new rules sneak peak?

 

[Parmandur]

it does seem like the only consistent theme.

we can bet on planer past that it is purely unknown.

Weirdly, there are two consistent themes: Planar stuff, and Giants. I wonder if they making Giants Planar, or if they are testing for two things.

Giant Planescape of Many Things confirmed!

This has a Background for the Planescape Factions, pretty blatently.

Giant Planescape of Many Things confirmed!

Hypothesis: this is our first taste of Planescape coming next year, and a bit more of a Giant-focused Fizban book from James Wyatt.

I think you can assume so, yes.

I am somewhere between underwhelmed and whelmed.

Giants and runes can ties into Norse mythology/Yggdrasil stuff, which canonically exists in Planescape.

That I hadn't noticed. O_O
But yeah, Planar Philosopher fits that perfectly.

Glitchlings are a neat idea!
