So that monopoly already exists.While the people who enjoy high-level play are happy with the existing table scraps (think 5 new CR 20+ monsters in a 500+ monster Monster Manual*) and half-hearted high-level sections in books (think Vecna: Eve of Ruin).*Which just to note Arch-Hag and Blob of Annihilation were front and centre in the Marketing of the 2024 Monster Manual.Having played 1E-5E all to max level (and in some cases beyond) I can confirm at least our game has never 'fallen apart'. Though certainly I would admit high-level 5e is trickier to balance because of some wonky official advice around Challenge Ratings.Would D&D be better as a Level 1-10 game, certainly you could argue it could definitely be simpler (again see Shadowdark), but I don't think it would be as interesting without the potential to pay Orcus a visit and give him a kicking.</blockquote>
