I bought the RPG Gamemaster Book Series. I had already bought some of the books from DriveTHRU RPG, but I didn't have the others, so this was perfect. I am generally satisfied, but the PDFs I purchased from DriveTHRU seem slightly different. The bookmarks are not set correctly, and in some...

The problem with SRD 5.2 not being attributed to OGL 1.1 is... I think it's probably a minor detail, but I don't think it's a big issue.

I use Foundry VTT to play D&D. The SRD part of D&D 5e is almost completely localized by volunteers, and the major mods are also supported in Japanese, so it is not a big problem. Also, VTT udonarium ( GitHub - TK11235/udonarium: WebRTCを使ってブラウザ間通信を行うオンセツール ), an open source site that supports...
