[QUOTE="Lupin, post: 9136923, member: 7042758"] Some good news here. I liked that they translated the 5.1 SRD into multiple languages a while back and I appreciated the sentiment of the time from Kyle Brink: "We believe that D&D should be for everybody. So we're taking steps to make that ever more the case, as promised. And this won't be the last such step." But I'm less thrilled with how they've moved "Review Previous Editions for Inclusion in Creative Commons" from "In Progress" (in March) to "Upcoming." The new explanation is "Before adding previous editions into Creative Commons, we need to review the materials in detail as it has been many years since their publication," and back in March it was talking about IP loss concerns. It sounds like it's just getting put off further and further. I get that they have to do an IP wipe and check for dated/offensive elements, but I feel like this is a sign that effort hasn't been given any meaningful priority, or that it might slip into next year (or quietly retired). If they're gonna take this long to comb over an actual, finished SRD like 3.5, I feel like a CC stripped-down version of 4e, BX/OD&D, or AD&D/2e might as well be wholly off the table. Not a fan.
