So Mearls announced on Twatter that the next 5e book will be Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, looks from the little that we know that it will be dedicated to the planes, which I think is cool. They had hinted at a planes release and I'm a fan of Planescape (as my avatar indicates). But I am a 5e fanboy by grognard standards.
They had Mordenkainen appear in Curse of Strahd which I saw some people complain about as they somehow read that as an attempt to integrate him into FR (in Ravenloft?) but they mention in CoS that he is from Greyhawk and they continue that even in the blurb on the book. Mearls has said that they intend to feature non-FR settings in the future so perhaps we will get a Greyhawk and Dark Sun book one day?
The amount of attention, hype and speculation each 5e book announcement gets seems like confirmation that the slower releases schedule some others hate is working, in my opinion.
Here's the blurb:
Discover the truth about the great conflicts of the D&D multiverse in this supplement for the world's greatest roleplaying game.
This tome is built on the writings of the renowned wizard from the world of Greyhawk, gathered over a lifetime of research and scholarship. In his travels to other realms and other planes of existence, he has made many friends, and has risked his life an equal number of times, to amass the knowledge contained herein. In addition to Mordenkainen's musings on the endless wars of the multiverse, the book contains game statistics for dozens of monsters: new demons and devils, several varieties of elves and duergar, and a vast array of other creatures from throughout the planes of existence.
