This week D&D gets adventures for PCs over 20th level fighting sentient cities. No I didn’t make that up. Also the Plane of Shadows is back, now called the Shadow Realm with politics and monsters. Witches are fighting in an adventure and there are even more rule options available. Pathfinder 2nd Edition gets so many more magic items. RuneQuest (4th Edition) gets lots of gear and Star Trek Adventures gets what sounds like a fascinating new era to game in. Fantasy Trip and really any RPG gets a question die. Hunter the Reckoning gets dice and the Cypher System gets adventures for a limited time. You know, I actually remember a time before you had to add an edition to an RPG. Before the dark times, before the Empire.

In case you have 24th–26th level PCs, here is Dismantling Cities, a GM handbook for how to run epic fights against sentient cities. I continue to write about RPGs so I can write sentences like that. That’s crazy talk, yet here we are.

We had 100th level PCs in AD&D, just saying.
