The 4th edition SRD will be much more of a reference document than the 3e SRD. The current edition contains almost all of the rules and allows “copy and paste” publishing. WotC would prefer to see 3rd party publishers to use their creativity and talent instead of reformatting or slightly changing pre-existing rules. As such, the 4e SRD will contain more guidelines and pointers, and less straightforward rules repetition.
This seems to me to mean that we will no longer have something like d20srd.com to check the actual rules. In fact, it sounds like the SRD will jsut be a bunch of guidelines, like "It's usually a bad idea to force players onto a particular adventure path." Perhaps WotC doesn't like the fact that one can play a satisfying game of DnD without buying a single one of their products.
Am I just being silly and wrong here, or does it look like the SRD will be basically useless?
