Dungeons and Dragons just confirmed an updated SRD featuring the new rules from the 2024 core rulebooks is coming shortly after the revision is complete.
Fans can expect SRD 5.2 to arrive shortly after the revised Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual releases in February 2025. The Systems Reference Document, or SRD, is the guide that contains the core rules to enable players to play Dungeons and Dragons.
Protected by the Creative Commons license, it is this document that allows fans to create, share, and sell their own homebrew Dungeons and Dragons material using the game’s rules without fear of legal action.
It is also irrevocable, meaning works made using it are safe forever. SRD 5.1 currently covers 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons as it stands, but the rules updates it is working on for its 10-year anniversary would not be covered by this document.
Luckily, Dungeons and Dragons is releasing a new SRD document that includes these revised core rules. Once the Monster Manual – the third and final Dungeons and Dragons core rulebook revision – releases on February 18, 2025, SRD 5.2 will follow within weeks, making most of the core rules freely available for players to use in their campaigns and homebrew projects.
