A level 10-20 adventure, that’s cool.

I don’t really use adventure books, but I have found that the few that have gone to higher level tend to have interesting monsters and potentially really cool magic items that can be mined for my own campaign.

If you pre-order it on D&DBeyond you get an exclusive one shot that sets up the main adventure.

Both covers look horrible. You've got cyborg vecna in the first, and a pencil sketch of a hand in the second that looks like it was done via AI.

Can't be, it has 5 fingers.

I like the standard cover. I wonder if there will be a third option like they did with the DL adventure?

Why make one disappointing gazetteer when you can make seven?

Snark aside, they haven't published anything for Greyhawk (in this current edition) and I can't see just their typical "mini-gazetteer in the beginning of the book" being adequate. Dragonlance fans weren't happy with how much War of the Dragon Queen glossed over the setting, I'm sure the Greyhawk fans won't be if if gets similar treatment.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Planescape and Spelljammer really just names given to concepts? Should they really classify as separate settings?

Saltmarsh was technically their Greyhawk introduction. So it has been touched upon. Weather that's good enough for some or not is subjective.
