There is always wiggle room. Nothing they say is binding. The can say they will do it, then say the will not. What they say is irrelevant, what they do is what matters. I don't expect them to do anything about 1e, 2e, or 4e. I have only slightly higher hopes we will see the 3.0/3.5 SRD in CC.

No, they said they will look into it. That was all they said. They did strongly hint they would do 3/3.5e SRD since that relatively easy to do.

I seriously doubt it (4e) or 1e or 2e will get SRDs and ported to CC. To much work involved.

Familiarity mostly. I know the OGL, I don't know CC. I would rather stick with what I know. Also, IIRC, it is trickier to exclude things from CC than it is the OGL.

Sure, but nothing going forward is going to be released under the OGL

The SRD will be and the errata PDF is available now

I stated in the other thread - it specifically says 5.2 and all SRDs going forward will be CC only.

Yes, the article is explicit about that: " All future versions of the SRD will be released exclusively under Creative Commons (CC-BY-4.0) for consistency and broader compatibility."

It does mention that they are only supporting CC moving forward: " All future versions of the SRD will be released exclusively under Creative Commons (CC-BY-4.0) for consistency and broader compatibility." That is the "official" answer. It is just easier to support one license to I suspect. I...

There is also a new errata and sage advice post: Errata and Sage Advice

To bad they are not supporting the OGL anymore. I would have preferred to continue to use the OGL. It is mute point if the put the 3e SRD in CC, but there was not mention of that.

@darjr - you are so fast with these news items. It has only been up on DnD Beyond for 20 minutes!

Oh good - even less wasted space!

I guess I am the outlier! I seem to be the only one glad to see these extra pages and they are the primary reason I am buying the book!

My guess: because it is not an "official" red dragon. It wasn't based on the 1e design or anything else really. It is a Larry Elmore dragon, not a D&D red dragon.

I, on the other hand, only signed up for the pre-order once I found out about these extra pages on the history of dragon art. So I am happy they included it!

I have not found any issue with using 2014 material with 2024 material, just use what works for you. 5e14 & 5e24 are not so finely tuned that minor difference between make an difference IMO.

They most certainly can work, and better than any previous edition IMO, it is just that most are two low CR to provide an adequate challenge (in published adventures I mean, a DM can obviously do anything they want here). It obviously varies from group to group, but I find for 4 PCs a monster...

Bending rules is what D&D is all about IMO. I imagine I will bend some of your rules as well! :p

I would love to do that, but life has just gotten in the way lately. I am also waiting for UK to finish this book as a am pretty sure it will be a good jumping off point my next stab at epic monsters.
