D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

The System Reference Document 5.2--the tool which helps developers create third-party content using the Dungeons & Dragons core rules engine--will be released under the Creative Commons license on April 22nd.

Additionally, Wizards of the Coast will publish a Conversion Guide for updating game content from the 2014 edition to the 2024 edition. This guide will arrive at a later date.

The Free Rules document on D&D Beyond will also be updated with new D&D Beyond Basic Rules (2024).

The older 5.1 SRD, which is based on the 2014 edition of D&D, will also remain available under both Creative Commons and the Open Game License (OGL).

More information will be available on April 22nd, when the new SRD is released.

A copy of each System Reference Document is stored independently at A5ESRD.com, which includes the 5.1 SRD, the revised 3.5 SRD, and other System Reference Documents (including the enormous A5E SRD).

You did see the post I was replying to, right?

No, I missed that. Egg on my face.

No, I missed that. Egg on my face.

No worries. No one knows, it was a mute point.

The devs have strongly implied that Solasta 2 will use the new SRD & 5.5 rules to the extent that the new SRD includes them.

They have always been neutral about it in their official public comments. Their PR person Myzzrym said on April 17:

As stated before: We're going to read it when it's out, see what we can do and what we want to do

No promises yet on either side!

 

[Charlaquin]

Moot, not mute.

Sorry for being pedantic.

THANK YOU.

Thank you!

I am satisfied with the combination of the CC license for do-it-yourself products, and the DMsGuild to utilize WotC intellectual property.

I think this is fair to both the community of D&D players and the need for WotC to run a sustainable business.

Bloop: SRD 5.2

I know you aren't in charge of this or anything, but one question I would love you to run up the chain is:

Why were the Bastion rules left out of the SRD?

 

[darjr]

Looks like they will also replace the free basic rules at that time as well (which will not be covered under the Creative Commons license).

Did this happen? Was there a pdf?
