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.

 have faces of people screaming inside them.

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.
