[QUOTE="Lupin, post: 9137058, member: 7042758"] Regarding the timing of older editions (3E/3.5E) going CC. Bob World Builder Interview (full version) [MEDIA=youtube]ZApvz7WJZ08:1098[/MEDIA] Starting at 18:18: Bob: So let's say just to maybe, like, narrow down on this a little bit as well. You know 2024 - huge year for D&D. Um, is there any guess or, like, plan that by the time 6E comes out, is that when all these SRDs will be in Creative Commons, or do you think it'll be something that happens later down the line? Kyle: I think it'll be, uh, in in-flight updates. So I think that as we you know we obviously have to publish rules first before we put them in the SRD. But you'll get to see some of the rules changes we're working on as we do the play tests for for One D&D, and so you'll have some idea of the rules changes that are coming up. And we expect the community will tell us, "hey you need to make sure this makes it into the SRD," just in case we're overlooking something. Bob: Yeah. Kyle: And then when the actual rule books are published, we'll follow that up with an SRD update. Bob: Yeah I guess, uh, I-I also meant for those older editions. Kyle: [spoken with a "for sure" tone] Oh yeah. Bob: You think in Creative Commons— Kyle: Yeah. Bob: —by 2024 or end of 2024? Kyle: Oh I think that'll happen this year. I mean, we just have to do our homework and do the review. It's, you know, there's no particular reason to delay it other than the work. Bob: Okay. --- Regarding other old editions going Creative Commons.
