Also really like that Parakk is seemingly running a formal pest control service now. XD

I wonder what that castle on legs is? It's on the DM screen, the adventure book, and there's even a mini version of it on the Outlands map. It's not Baba Yaga's hut, as it's a larger structure and the legs are mechanical, not chicken.

I recognize the sunflies, buy I have no idea what that eyeball goop monster, or the two headed beast thing are?

It says "a jump" to 17. Maybe a super level up? Sounds neat.

Or a time jump.

"Then, 30 years later ..."

I have a hard time imagining any Planescape fan not wanting the DiTerlizzi covers.

Walking castles are an established Outlands thing, albeit a minor one - 2e's Player's Primer to the Outlands has a small section on them.

The Spire suppresses magic based on how close you are to it, starting with blocking 9th level spells at ~900 miles out and becoming increasingly restrictive in ~100 mile wide concentric "rings" as you move inward toward the Spire. As a result, it's a good place for spellcasters of modest ability to set up shop where stronger rivals can't wield their greater powers against them - if you can only cast up to 5th level spells, make a home base somewhere within the 5-600 mile ring from the Spire and you know no one will be able to come after you with any magic 6th level or higher while you'll still have access to your full arsenal.

Unfortunately, these "rings" aren't stationary and gradually shift around over time, so you need a home base that is also capable of relocating if the "ring" you're relying upon moves out from under you.

Hence, walking castles - more magically-based toward the fringes, increasingly technology-based moving inward.

Adventure cover looks like Shemeshka is involved.

Also modrons

 

[Demetrios1453]

A couple of further bits of speculation...

"Over 50" monsters is a bit less than expected, given that Spelljammer was around 70 for the same page count. The hierarch modrons will be 9 or 10 of those (depending on whether we get a stat block for Primus), which is a significant percentage of the total. We've previously seen a demodand in one of the illustrations, so all three types are presumably in. The game seriously needs more celestials, and this would seem to be the perfect place to add some, but how many can be squeezed in before they take up too much space? Or will they not appear at all?

Secondly, there are 12 Factions in the book, compared to the traditional 15. We've even had mention of another faction in KftGV. So, any speculation on what our new Faction line-up will be? Which ones made, and didn't make, the cut?

I need to get new glasses. For a second it looked like the one book was titled "The Tuna of Fortune's Wheel."

Considering the size, Juiblex maybe?

Perhaps! Thank you, I kinda forgot about Juiblex!
