Fun Fact: In the classic CRPG game "Eye of the Beholder", set in Undermountain, there is a message on the wall in the Xanathar's Outer Sanctum that reads: "Leave no stone unturned"

Wow. Eye of the Beholder feels like a deep cut...

 

[eryndel]

As another data point, this year's D&D Open (which last year was an early teaser to Chult and ToA) is called Gangs of Waterdeep. That, along with the No Stone Unturned reference paints a pretty good picture.

 

[Rhineglade]

Do I hear a marketing blitz?

 

[Jester David]

You have to hunt it down. People immediately blabbed about the Morse code hashtag rather than letting people solve that clue, so I won't mention where I found that teaser yet. It's not a big one, but it's out there. I'm hoping there will be more little clues over the next month (and possibly other ones out now to find).

Okay, I’ve looked all over the SoME page and I have no idea what you’re talking about or what I’m looking for...

So Nathan Stewart has made a couple comments on twitter and on the twitch news thing today that are interesting.

"Hey Mike, did you already spoil my planned spoil thing for today? "psionics" and "getting a good sense" seem really close to clues."

https://twitter.com/NathanBStewart/status/991423157553713152

Then he just referenced it again during the news segment that he thought Mike doing psionics during his show was gutsy since he knows the release schedule. He implied again that Mike was risking spoilers. And even said that doing psionics on his show was 'flying a little close to the sun'

And the way he said sun, made me think Dark Sun.

Anyway, might not have anything to do directly with the adventure. But, man, Stewart has dropped hints more than once about things that seemed related to Eberron or Dark Sun.

Shrug. We'll see I guess.

P.S. Mind you, I wouldn't put it past the guy to throw red herrings

Yea, so many in chat caught that too. What fun. Twitch home of the leaks!

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the waterdeep/undermountain campaign followed up by a Dark Sun campaign setting book. After all Dark Sun does tick a lot of boxes, allows for the introduction of Psionics in their most ‘psionic setting’ and is probably the most popular specialist setting after Ravenloft. (I don’t consider Grewhawk specialist, it’s default like the Forgotten Realms).

 

[TerraDave]

Hmm, an actual FR adventure set in FR just makes too much sense.

 

[kenmarable]

Okay, I’ve looked all over the SoME page and I have no idea what you’re talking about or what I’m looking for...

Sorry to confuse, but it’s not another clue on the page. It’s a use of #NoStoneUnturned elsewhere.

[sblock]There is a Twitter account that used the hashtag early this morning (shortly after midnight Pacific time) hours before the announcement that also makes a FR reference. It’s not absolutely definitive a WotC account, but given the timing, I’m guessing it is. I haven’t checked other social media yet.[/sblock]

Ah, thanks. No wonder I didn't find it because:
[sblock]I dropped off Twitter after being harassed last fall, so I didn't even think to check that platform.
Of course, even if I had I imagine that "clue" would be pretty buried by all the new people using the hashtag.[/sblock]
