[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9452119, member: 7034611"] they are compatible with the 5e standard, they are intended as replacements to the D&D PHB, not as something to be used alongside it that no one can build on D&D 5e while everyone can build on the 5e SRD is very much true. You can also build a rather similar system independently, agreed, but if you copy over anything, it either is from the SRD or a copyright violation… since it is not the same game I do not need a solution for this the DMsG has its own license, you pay WotC for the privilege to use their IP beyond the SRD. Didn’t realize that saying ‘no one else can use’ needed to include ‘without a separate license’ but I guess here we are. no, I said the 5e is a reference to the 5e of D&D 5e and that the two started out as largely the same since D&D was the only implementation of the 5e SRD. Since we now have several implementations of it, the scope of what 5e means has expanded while the scope of D&D 5e has not (and before you try to score a cheap point by pointing out the obvious again, that means it consists of WotC products, Xanathar, Tasha, etc have expanded D&D 5e…) [/QUOTE]
