From flying faeries to rune-wielding Vikings to magical kitties, this week has a little bit of everything magical and monstrous. Dungeons & Dragons has maps of The Wild, an adventure, inspiring lists, potions, and dungeon encounters. Delta Green RPG has a new adventure. For you Vikings out there, there is a bag o’ runes to be had which is one of the best things I’ve found for this column in a while (The Wizard's Dice Tower is another). Everway is back in a massive new multiple hardcover edition. Magical Kitties get the extra support they need. And Humblewood gets bird miniatures for those avian heroes out there.
