WotC 2024 D&D Core Rules Will Be Added To SRD In 2025

The 2024 version of the D&D core rules will be included in an expanded version of the System Reference Document, and available to third parties via Creative Commons (though there is no mention of thr Open Gaming License). The new SRD 5.2 will be available early 2025 after the new Monster Manual has been released.

The new SRD will be localized in the languages which WotC supports.

Regarding the long-awaited SRDs for previous editions, WotC says that they will start reviewing those documents once the 2024 rulebooks are out.

Hmmm....interesting. I'm especially glad to see these words:
"and available to third parties via Creative Commons."

 

[Osgood]

Nice. Perhaps those who insist on using 5.whatever to identify the revision could settle on 5.2 to match the SRD.

Still, I wonder how many posts it will take for someone to spin this as a negative. I predict 7...

 

[Vaalingrade]

Credit where credit's due, this is an unambiguously good move.

***What about the SRDs for previous editions?

Because we still need to complete reviews on those materials before they’re released into Creative Commons, we made the decision to wait until after the 2024 rules revisions were released to begin reviews of those documents***

Not forgotten, just deprioritized until the 24 books are done.

They're not coming. That was chaff. It worked. More fool us.

I still consider 5.5 SRD to be a win because that sure was hell wasn't going to happen before the boycotts.

Seven was the magic number.

The fact they're still talking about them strongly suggests wotc still plans to release the previous edition SRDs. If the intent was to sweep them under the rug then the SRDs would never be mentioned again.

I don't know why "They are coming after the new stuff" is being taken as they are not coming.
