[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9443327, member: 18"] Wellllllllllll, it is WotC, so I think there is like at least 30% chance that they release the 2024 SRD, but not 2024 Basic Rules. They're just the masters of totally unforced, easy-to-foresee errors! It would just make them look dim and someone would immediately (and I do mean like, the same day!) create a Basic Rules PDF based on the SRD, but they might manage it. I expect the embarrassment would cause them to put together an official one in short order after that though. What do you mean by "support" though? I don't think the 2014 Basic Rules will continue to be officially available as a new thing you can add to your Beyond account once the 2024 Basic Rules are available, just like we won't be able to buy the 2014 PHB/DMG/MM once the 2024 ones are fully out (equally they won't take away the 2014 Basic Rules from all of us who have them, though). That could change of course - I actually think WotC are leaving money on the table, because they could just make it so new users are reliably directed to the 2024 version, but that the 2014 ones could still be bought by completionists.
