Spelljammer Confirmed! For real!
Spelljammer: Adventures in Space is going to come out in August of this year. Interestingly, it will be three books in a slipcase.
The Astral Adventurer's Guide will be for DMs and players, with playable races (as seen in the Travelers of the Multiverse UA - all of them made it in) along with magic items, spells, as well as deck plans for different kinds of ships to sail the stars on.
Boo's Astral Menagerie is the monster book, with 60+ space-based monsters. Examples cited were space clowns, vampirates (vampire pirates, natch), as well as solar and lunar dragons.
Finally, Light of Xaryxis is an adventure book set in the Astral Plane.
Interestingly, the mention of the Astral Plane makes me think they might have changed up the general setting for Spelljammer. Each of these books is pretty short, only 64 pages each, which actually means that in total, this will probably be one of the shorter campaign setting sourcebooks. But I'm still very excited to pick it up.
Now, we got far fewer details about Dragonlance - it was the stream's kind of "parting shot." The trailer, narrated by Shoreh Aghdashloo (whose voice is always a pleasure to just listen to) depicts a war-torn world in which haggard heroes fight back against an endless tide of evil. So, honestly, not exactly the vibe I always assumed for Dragonlance - a bit darker and grittier.
Unlike Spelljammer, we didn't get a deep dive into the nature of the product, though it looks like it might be another multi-book slip case.
Anyway, there were some other announcements, but those were the ones I felt were the most important.
