Wizards of the Coast is releasing a Dungeons & Dragons 2024 SRD. This updated document, officially titled the SRD 5.2, will allow creators to publish TTRPG content using the 2024 ruleset of the popular fantasy TTRPG.
The Dungeons & Dragons 2024 SRD Announcement
In an official post on D&D Beyond, Wizards of the Coast announced the publication of the Dungeons & Dragons 2024 SRD. According to the post, the SRD will be released under a Creative Commons license and will coexist alongside the SRD 5.1 document for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition.
The post then detailed what will be included in the SRD. Unlike the notorious OGL debacle, the SRD allows third-party developers to make material using the rules material without paying a fee to Wizards of the Coast. In addition, since both SRDs are in Creative Commons, it provides a legally binding promise that the essential rules of D&D are free to use, change, and build upon forever.
With this SRD’s publication you can, irrevocably and in perpetuity, create and publish material for both Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons and Dungeons & Dragons 2024.
The post also confirms that Wizards of the Coast will be releasing a Conversion Guide for creators who want to update their work to be compatible with the Dungeons & Dragons 2024 SRD.
Lastly, Wizards of the Coast confirmed the SRD will be routinely updated to include any and all errata for Dungeons & Dragons 2024. The SRD will be updated accordingly to match these changes.
The Dungeons & Dragons 2024 SRD was initially announced in May 2024. This announcement was made alongside the updated core rulebooks as part of the fantasy TTRPG’s 50th anniversary. These Core Rulebooks were overseen by industry leads Christopher Perkins and Jeremy Crawford. Both of them have recently announced their departure from Wizards of the Coast.
The Dungeons & Dragons 2024 SRD will be released on April 22.
