A magical mixture of rules options for the world's greatest roleplaying game.
The wizard Tasha, whose great works include the spell Tasha’s hideous laughter, has gathered bits and bobs of precious lore during her illustrious career as an adventurer. Her enemies wouldn’t want these treasured secrets scattered across the multiverse, so in defiance, she has collected and codified these tidbits for the enrichment of all.
EXPANDED SUBCLASSES. Try out subclass options for every Dungeons & Dragons class, including the artificer, which appears in the book.
MORE CHARACTER OPTIONS. Delve into a collection of new class features and new feats, and customize your character’s origin using straightforward rules for modifying a character’s racial traits.
INTRODUCING GROUP PATRONS. Whether you're part of the same criminal syndicate or working for an ancient dragon, each group patron option comes with its own perks and types of assignments.
SPELLS, ARTIFACTS & MAGIC TATTOOS. Discover more spells, as well as magic tattoos, artifacts, and other magic items for your campaign.
EXPANDED RULES OPTIONS. Try out rules for sidekicks, supernatural environments, natural hazards, and parleying with monsters, and gain guidance on running a session zero.
A PLETHORA OF PUZZLES. Ready to be dropped into any D&D adventure, puzzles of varied difficulty await your adventurers, complete with traps and guidance on using the puzzles in a campaign.
Full of expanded content for players and Dungeon Masters alike, this book is a great addition to the Player's Handbook and the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Baked in you'll find more rule options for all the character classes in the Player's Handbook, including more subclass options. Thrown in for good measure is the artificer class, a master of magical invention. And this witch's brew wouldn't be complete without a dash of added artifacts, spellbook options, spells for both player characters and monsters, magical tattoos, group patrons, and other tasty goodies.

Genie warlock confirmed as one of the subclasses.
Edit: Gonna add as I refresh twitter.
College of Creation Bard confirmed as well. Class-specific magical items, sounds like some of them are spell focuses and spellbooks that let you cast spells with charges. At least one spellbook disguised as a romance novel. Psionic sorcerer as well I guess. Confirmed with other sources as well. New named spells of course, a Tarokka deck that you can use as a ghostbusters box, and the lineage system to make variant versions of every race it sounds like. Source Armorer artificer (obviously), but direct confirmation. Mimic colonies? Maybe as part of the magical terrain/environments. Source. Artificer will be "reprinted in Tasha's guide in full, having been 'de-Eberroned' so it can fit in any campaign setting. Source Order Domain, Circle of Spores, College of Eloquence, Oath of Glory, and Bladesinging to be reprinted. Same source as above. 192 pages long. 22 new subclasses plus the 5 reprints, goddamn!! This source implies that Circle of Stars druid and Fey Wanderer ranger will also be present. New feats to go along with the lineage system, making it sound more and more like Pathfinder 2e. Same source as above. The summon [x] spells made the cut, at least 9 conjuration spells added. Beast masters are getting 3 primal beast options for their companion. Source Option to use the sidekick classes as player classes. (Not entirely sure why you couldn't do that before, but hey, whatever.) Source Lineage/background is much more than stat increases, "'If a person wants to play Elfy McElferson from Player’s Handbook, they still can,' Crawford noted. 'But if you want your Elf to know...your Elf skipped longsword practice and doesn’t have proficiency in long swords, and speaks a language other than Elvish, and has a bonus to your charisma instead of your dexterity, Tasha’s Cauldron is going to give you the ability to do that and to do it very easily.'" Same Source as above. Several new infusions for artificers as well as the full reprint. Same Source as above. Not strictly rules related, but just wanted to point out a fun fact. The existence of a spellbook magically disguised as a romance novel confirms that not only do romance novels exist in D&D, but they are apparently common enough that making your spellbook look like one is a good way to hide it from prying eyes.CaptainGockblock on August 24th, 2020 at 14:10 UTC »

Super excited for this! I hope it's got a good variety between player content and DM content like Xanathar's.
