Hi There! Your friendly neighborhood dice hoarder Mica Burton here, and I am super stoked because Dungeons and Dragons has trusted me to help announce something pretty big. "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything", which is the new massive rules expansion book, is coming this fall. So DMs and players alike, get ready for a crap-ton of new content. DnD has also trusted me-- oddly-- with teasing a little bit of new content from this upcoming guide, and as a warlock lover myself, it is my pleasure to reveal the "genie" as a new patron. Not only do you get to choose the element of your genie patron to fit your vibe, but you also get to decide what kind of vessel they dwell in and go ham designing it. Each elemental genie patron comes with their own different list of spells their little warlocks can choose from, including-- of course-- the Wish spell no matter which genie you pick. The genie patron honestly has so much versatility and diversity that I have never really seen and special features that will be really fun to help aid your warlocks in their journeys. And I cannot wait, personally, to create a new chaotic tiefling warlock to release this new genie magic with. And actually, I don't have to wait that long, and neither do you! Because the best part of this announcement is "D&D Celebration"! D&D Celebration will be a virtual event taking place from September 8th to the 20th. So gather your adventuring party, tell all your ttrpg friends, and join us at this completely virtual event. There's going to be panels, live gameplay, all your favorite ttrpg streamers, and loads more surprises. So head on over to dungeons and dragons dot com for all the details. I'll see you there!
They have to get all their influencers out of bed and record their tweets since yah... I'm pretty sure the first one was way ahead of schedule by three hours. :D LOL.
This time it wasn't Amazon that screwed up... I'm pretty sure Elle did this time. :D Which... hey we got the news early so I'm not the least bit angry about it. Since D&D's official Twitter retweeted it almost immediately, I'm sure a few intercompany phone calls were made to launch the book's product page on Wizard's site and the page regarding D&D Celebration early as well since the news was already out there.
I wonder WHICH of the UA subclasses made to the book. I think we will see the Wildfire Druid, Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, Genie Warlock, Phantom Rogue and Armor Artificer, but I don't know what else.

Hopefully Circle of Stars too.
Genie Warlock definitely made it in. It was in Mica Burton's video.
I am going to guess it will be just a straight reprinting of the class with a new subclass added in as well.
That was how I read it
The only difference I would expect aside from the added subclass is that the artificer's fluff might be slightly rewritten to be less Eberron-specific.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
So we are going to see Psionics in this book, according to that article.
Oh God help us.
I liked the subclasses and the psionic talent die (though it sounds like that's been overhauled/replaced), I'd just look at them more as the "eldritch knight/arcane trickster" of psionics, not necessarily discounting a solo psionic class down the line.
More than that though Crawford was surprised by “how much liberty players have to customize.” The Lineage System, tons of new class options and alternate features, spells, feats (wow I didn’t even mention those!) all combine to create more levers and dials players and DMs can use to tailor our game experiences and tell the kinds of stories we want with exactly the kinds of characters we imagine.
With this I cannot imagine the folks in charge of Adventurers League declare that Tasha's will be a +1 and keep the rigid, god unfriendly, and restrictive PHB+1 system. Not with Diversity Statement, high level personal stances from folks like Crawford in regards to combat wheelchairs, and stating they want to now let people play what they want and how they want.

I loved the Psi Die, we’ll see what hot mess they’re gonna dump on us. I just hope I don’t hate it so much that I have to tell my players they cannot use them. 🤷♂️
oh so class feature variants will also be comming, possibly more class feature variant options than what was previously available? neat, i shure do hope the sidekicks rules have options for monsterous sidekicks beyond player races, that was probably the niftiest thing the sidekick system did

That is a more positive way to look at it.

I will venture a guess that we will see a combination of the Talent Die and Spell Casting and no core Psion class.

Very exciting!
The culmination of all these Unearthed Arcana, just on the horizon!
I figured, but PSIONICS =/= SPELLCASTING!!! ARRGGHHH!
