Silly Question

[Merlion]

I realize I am probably going to get laughed at for asking this, but I've wracked my brain to try and figure out what SRD stands for, and I cant figure it out

System Reference Document. It's the online rules for the game that allows publishers to legally write compatible projects. There's an Announcement at the top of this forum; check out the links in it!

Oh - and welcome to the boards.

System Reference Document. It contains the portions of the game system that are covered by the OGL.

Thanks Pireatecat
So from what I've been reading am I to understand that wizards is going to release most or all of the 3.5 info in this forum? for free? that seems a tad odd

Sounds like the original poster needs to be introduced to the general concept of the d20 System, OGL, and SRD. I suggest starting here: http://www.wizards.com/D20/article.asp?x=dt20010417a

I am quite familiar with the D20 system. And the open gaming license as a concept. As I'm not a writer or publisher I dont pay huge attention to the legal aspects etc. I just keep my eyes open for new and interesting source-products and gaming information. Obviously from context I realized that when people talked about SRD they were refering to something wizards put on the internet with information...I just wanted the exact meaning of the abreviation, and a few details.
