D&D General 2024 official book release dates...

[Burnside]

Yes, but they already have most of the 2024 SRD already written. The changes to the axtual core rules per the latest UA playtests are about 5 pages. Given the importance of the SRD to free on ramping to Beyond, that will be a priority this time.

I hope you're right, but I'm skeptical. I can see DNDBeyond getting a free basic rules source that isn't actually an SRD in Creative Commons.

Have they ever not shipped all the corebooks of for-the-sake-of-this-discussion a new edition in a single year?

no idea, have they ever had such large print runs? All I know is that they have not officially committed to a 2024 date and keep pointing out that the 50th year celebration extends into 2025.

Yeah that "It'll be 50 years for 2 years!" language they've been using is a more recent development that makes me think we might not get all the core books in 2024.

So, basically, from your posts in this thread, anything that another poster suggests will still leave you skeptical.

Your suggestion about that leaves me skeptical.

What I was hoping for, of course, is that someone had some actual info that I had missed.

Somehow I doubt that.

Basic Dungeons and Dragons in 2014 premiered before the PHB. An SRD basically makes that out.oded, combined with Beyond. Notice that their accidental announcement said that 5/19/2024 wasn't for the PHB or any book...butnfor the Core Rules. I expect to see the PHB around then, probavly, but getting the finalized updated rules on Beyond and for free will be a priority for WotC to make switchover and future growth smooth.

I agree with core rules and DNDbeyond being a big priority. But I think that will be separate thing from the SRD, which carries more complex legal questions.
