So that only really leaves two things on my list that want from 5e.
1. Planescape or Manual of the Planes equivalent.
2. Spelljammer
Only one of those seems like a possibility. I am sure there will be books published that have things that interest me, but that is what is left of my wish list.
I still want Dark Sun, and an Official 5e update to Mystara. Otherwise I’ll probably just buy bits and pieces of stuff if anything.
And maybe the cookbook. I’m kinda curious what they did with it. Are they authentic recipes? Imitation authentic recipes? Updated classics? I do love me some food.
While neither high levels nor the planes are really my thing, I think that Planescape would fill a big hole in the the current content; particularly since the planes could be used to fill that big high level gaping hole.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.

Spelljammer is unlikely. We would see signs of it, like we have with Planescape.

I think that Planescape is much less niche than Spelljammer or Darksun. It's not really my thing, but I believe that /more/ people would be interested in PS than SJ or DS.

Looking at the page on the website, they're showing recipes for cinnamon bread and some fruity alcohol drink, sooo...I'm guessing both?

Cinnamon was in Europe (though expensive) back in the back in the. But it was very expensive, so truly would have been fit for a hero’s feast.
While the cocktail as we know it was invented in the US during prohibition. Fermented fruit drinks have been around longer than grain alcohols. Wine far outdates beer.
So without having seen what you saw, I’ll say that it might be a blend, or it might be “plausibly authentic” (not historically accurate but also not anachronistic), or it could just be all brand new stuff. 🤷♂️ Got pics/link?
RIP Athas. I hardly knew ye. But especially given their recent articles, I'm not surprised.
Just to be clear, he never said we're not getting Dark Sun. The question was "Did somebody say Dark Sun?" and he answered "No".
This doesn't mean that we're not getting Dark Sun, this means that no one said Dark Sun.
This is how Chris Perkins acts. He teases. Whether or not we're getting a Dark Sun book, his response would be the same.
Noted.
And I'm one of the people hoping for Planescape, both because I'm in love with the setting and because of what crzyhawk said about it filling a gaping hole in high-level play.
I'd even hazard to say that Planescape might incentivize WoTC to concoct rules that make high-level play more manageable.
(Planescape was designed to make the planes accessible at lower levels. I'm not saying that Planescape isn't meant for higher levels, I mean that there's no inherent connection between high level play and Planescape.)

I get that, but at the same time, if you want to make the most of the setting, it helps to get into higher tiers of play. At least IMO.

This. High tier planescape allows them to kill two birds with one stone. It scratches that planescape itch /and/ makes a lot of sense if you focus on high tier content due to the general dearth of said high tier content. I personally prefer low tier action as it's easier to wrap my mind around and it's generally the kind of threats I enjoy reading about in stories. That being said, a lot of folks LIKE high tier game play, and those folks deserve high tier content. if you're going to provide high tier content, Planescape makes probably more sense than any other single setting previously released.

Planescape is good for having high level campaigns, as they tend to break the higher level you get as teleportation and planar travel get more common and available. With Planescape, you can keep players high level without your campaign breaking due to spells. (Same with Spelljammer)

The problem is that a number of the things that made Planescape unique back in the day are much more commonplace in 5e. Back in the day encountering a Tiefling or Aasimar outside of Planescape games was almost unheard of. Now they’re everyday PC races. That’s why I wish they had left some stuff out of the PHB, so they wouldn’t have to shoehorn it into every setting.
With no source book being revealed today, does that mean the all the previous UAs are still in play for the next UA release?

Chris Perkins has made it very clear apparently that we are not to expect Dark Sun in 5e any time soon, if ever.

My friend called this "power word kill."
FATALITY.
RIP Athas. I hardly knew ye. But especially given their recent articles, I'm not surprised.
My hope is that the next release is within the next week. That would fit the previous release dates.

Thanks. It seems they’re just themed is all. More of a novelty than a cookbook.
