Editing SRD

In the open gaming movement, a '''System Reference Document''' (SRD) is reference for a role-playing game's mechanics [[copyright|licensed]] under the Open Game License [[OGL]] to allow other publishers to make material compatible with that game.

The first SRD was published in 2000 by [[Wizards of the Coast]] (WotC) and based upon the third edition of Dungeons and Dragons. That SRD formed the basis of WotC's various [[d20 System|d20 systems]] role-playing games, including [[d20 Modern]] and [[d20 Future]]. The SRD is also the basis for role-playing games published by companies other than WotC, including [[Mutants and Masterminds]] and the [[Pathfinder]], among others.

Some other game systems, such as [[FATE]] and the Mongoose Publishing editions of RuneQuest, have also released their own mechanics under [[OGL]]-licensed "System Reference Documents" of their own.

[[RAGE|However, with the advent of OGL 1.1, the SRD of cashgrab OneDND is likely going to be under tighter lock and key in order to force people to pay up]].
