Dungeons & Dragons 5E gets 1,000 new and revised spells. That seems like a large number to me, but maybe the core rules don’t have enough. There are also more rules like new classes and two dozen map tiles including a wizard dueling room which would go well in DCC RPG or Academies of the Arcane. Warhammer gets support including for Soulbound. New rules are out for the Power Rangers RPG and Savage Worlds gets fantasy rules (revised) and pawns to go with it along with a space cowboy fantasy horror adventure for Deadlands Lost Colony. Spire is also back and also revised.
