Howdy folks and Happy Holidays.
It's been quite some time since I've poked in here but I found myself in need of an editable SRD of the 5.2.1 flavour.
Nothing seemed to be here, so I went searching... eventually, I managed to stumble across this:
github.com
Great! I thought. The "Any changes will be relatively minor and won't really affect most people very much." caused me to pause a bit, but I took him at his word.
And then I looked at the actual files... and... yeah, I guess maybe I'm fussy but there seemed to be an awful lot of stuff that didn't quite match up to the 5.2.1 SRD pdf from WotC. Dragons missing proficiency bonuses, Initiatives wrong, missing magic items, Small creatures that are (now?) actually Tiny... plus, the formatting. OMG. The Word doc styles were insane. Like 8 or 9 different styles; I'm presuming it's a function of one of his auto-extractors/formatters or something.
Anyway, the point is, it was an ok starting base but not what I'd really call correct or useable. So, I stupidly decided to redo the whole thing with proper styles, etc.
And, at long last, it's done.
But... If possible, I'd love for you good folks to go through what I've got and make sure it's right. Either that it's not missing things that should be in there, or that my inconsistencies are consistent. Yeah, the formatting is pretty minimal and that's not changing. I've done the least amount possible, while still making it useful. This is me trying to generate a useable resource for people, not produce a beautiful SRD for everyone to use (like we used to get back in the 3.5 years.)
Once I get the thumb's up from you folks, I'll go back and change the format so it's not a numbered heading style (like it currently is), and possible change the alphabetisation that's been used for the Monsters (not sure what the consensus is these days, I just know I personally dislike the current 2014/2025 style. Not sure how long to wait for y'all but maybe... a couple of weeks?
Once it's done, I'll make sure I upload it into the files section as well, so it's not entirely lost in the dead topics hell.
Really appreciate any feedback folks have.
