Given how extensively the monk was reworked in the 8th PHB playtest packet, you might want to make some specific claims about what the unaddressed problems were.

PDF is an open standard, curated by the ISO. There are many dedicated readers for the format from rival vendors, and support for reading the files in major web browsers and word processors. The format is a major part of the product strategy of a Fortune 500 company, and there is a full set of...

It's substantiated. They are continuing to translate into "French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish."

Not really. There's a serious conceptual difference between "Every single being in the universe who is Lawful Good speaks the Lawful Good alignment tongue, which they didn't have to learn and which they cease to be able to speak if they change alignment, and the only non-Lawful Good beings who...

Amazing. I mean, the cartoon was cancelled before TSR bought the Realms.

Mm-hmm. No wonder you kids these days can't afford a fine longbow for everyone in the party, what with your insistence on staying at inns that serve avocado toast.

I note that once the slums are cleared, you can safely rest anywhere there. Which means that a real penny-pincher can save a platinum piece each time by ducking through the gateway to the slums before resting, rather than going to an inn.

You're actually confusing 1e (where elf multiclasses could, in fact, cast spells while wearing any armor) and 2e (where they were initially limited to elven chain, and then later elven plate was added). Pool of Radiance accurately reflects the 1e rule.

There was also using Player's Option: Spells & Magic to add Crusader, Monk, and Shaman classes.

Not much. Oh, it was derided as a too-soon cash grab by WotC, and there was definite criticism of WotC for "they fixed things that weren't broken", but approximately nobody sticking with 3rd called other members of the community who were switching to 3.5 traitors. But then, approximately none of...

I do grant that WotC never came out and explicitly said, in so many words . . . "We're trying to patch up pubic relations after our missteps around the OGL. And, of course, we want to do that at minimal expense and effort (that's why we went with CC-BY so suddenly, after all, it was faster and...

Yeah, so, is that more or less funny now that, twenty years later, everyone and their mother (Gillette, Schick, Bic, even Amazon Basics) is selling five-blade disposables, and there are companies selling six- and seven-blade ones?

[Edit: The following was based on what apparently was my misunderstanding of what Parmandur meant by "loss leader", thanks to my unfamiliarity with DDB. The basic point that the SRD isn't particularly important for DDB going forward.] The current SRD is the free content on D&D Beyond for 5th...

My primary speculation is that we won't see the new SRD until 2026. After all, we didn't see the SRD5 until 2016, and 3rd edition didn't have the official release of any part of it SRD until April 2001, and was not fully officially released until early 2003. (Yeah, I fired up the Internet...

Depends on what you mean by "the lore". There's a lot of stuff in the three SRDs (3rd, 3.5, and 5th) and the original/revised/complete Tome of Horrors that very clearly and distinctively originates in D&D, rather than, say, Tunnels & Trolls or Palladium Fantasy. It might not be "the lore" in a...

I mean, my question was, "Wait, why is Vecna trying to destroy the multiverse? Isn't that Tharizdun's job?" Reading the link, it instead seems to be a repeat of the Die Vecna Die! transform-to-take-over plot. Perhaps Vecna has simply forgotten that didn't work last time?
