And thank you for sharing it and tweaking it! I've been tinkering with some homebrewed add-ons and adjustments for it that I'm happy to share with everyone. I had some in the OP but since I haven't playtested any of them, I removed it. But in keeping with the spirit of an open...

Oh, that's a good catch (perceiving that Perception was missing, I mean). I wonder if he meant to have a bit about it in there as a WIS D20 Check or just leave it as a GM assumption. (I haven't handed out too many magic items yet in our campaign, and the ones I have were all homebrewed, so I...

A few months back, I switched my family's home game from the D&D 5e Basic Rules to Lightning 5e, an ultra-lite version of D&D 5e. The game—a work-in-progress overhaul of his 2-page game One-Sheet 5e—is written by Mike Shea / Sly Flourish. He posted the link to it in a Reddit thread in which he...

Bit of a passive-aggressive tone in there. My point is that there is no "THE creative commons" license, which is what you said it had. And if all anyone wants to do is legally share barebones rules PDFs on the internet, all of them accomplish that. For anything beyond that, those specifics matter.

There are in fact several Creative Commons licenses, and the difference really matters for anyone building off of them. I'm not a lawyer but this is my basic take on them. - CC-0 and CC-BY are by far the most generous: republish the original, or create derivative works. CC0 is effectively...

Miscellaneous CC open games/SRDs from my own personal notes. Some of these are tiny RPGs from itch.io and such. EDIT: Added links for most. A few are direct PDF links, most are to landing pages. Quest (Creator's Resource PDF) CC-BY-4 OpenQuest (RTFs) CC-BY-4 Dungeon World SRD CC-BY-3 Lightning...

Joke's on me: that's the same link as before, but I still can't get anything but an error to come up, even while logged in to my Roll20 account. Also, here I am ranting about how awesomely back-to-basics it is without multiclassing yet you allowed it, lol. I'll be in my big-mouth corner over...

Bumping this thread as the link is dead and I'm quite curious how this went for you, @S'mon . (Especially in light of the current thread about an SRD-only campaign.) Personally, I like the simplicity yet completeness of the 5e Basic Rules PDF. It's the full 20-level game for those four core...

Mike @mearls himself more or less said this in his GDC talk in 2020: ...

That update was pushed out at the same time a bunch of core book errata was published. I found a video about it from back when Dragon+ was a thing. I just checked my copy of the 2018 Basic Rules PDF, and all the relevant Monster Manual errata and DMG errata were implemented. But I was curious...

On a related note, what are our expectations for the printable PDF of the Basic Rules? Will that be further revised with tweaked core rules and revised Ancestry/Class rules or just left to whither as a "compatible on-boarding asset"? Or perhaps it'll just get deleted and forgotten once the rules...

What I agree with mamba on is that WotC will not put older editions in CC, including 3e/3.5e. Kyle Brink said "Yeah, I don't see why not" when Ted (Nerd Immersion) asked him about creating SRDs for other older editions (including 4th), while noting that it would take a good bit of time and...

Re: people saying the 3/3.5 SRD in CC doesn't help, while I do remember people saying that, I recall it was because they were arguing for WotC to minimally amend OGL 1.0a and cement it as legally irrevocable (effectively, a good OGL 1.1), so that all those additional materials were forever...

Simple as that. They announced the CC-BY change for the 5e SRD and (almost) everybody was thrilled. The web was loaded with posts saying things like "we won!" Sounds more like Wizards "won" a corporate PR battle to me as opposed to truly protecting the game's legacy. The sentiment from many 5e...

The prior update (March 2023) had the SRD review under "In Progress." We're going backwards, not forwards, here.

Does anyone remember when, exactly, they phased out the campaign icons in the upper-left corner of their books? I think it looks much better without them, personally.

I've also been using a simple worksheet that summarizes the Lazy RPG Prep steps, so I decided to post a cleaned-up version of that as a PWYW item. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/470173/The-Lazy-RPG-Prep-Worksheet Thanks so much for picking it up, and for the informative reply! (And, of...

Hey folks. I decided I wanted a nice-looking version of the "8 Steps of Lazy RPG Prep" in my binder, and thought, why not just make a nice, printable, illustrated version of The Lazy GM's Resource Document which @SlyFlourish wrote, compiled, and released into the Creative Commons? His books are...
