Getting started
Your first two weeks of SRD literacy
A calm path for readers new to SRDs and open-rules documents.
Day one
Open one primary SRD door such as 5th Edition SRD reference and skim our glossary for Product Identity and attribution.
Pick a scope
One primary SRD link, one attribution checklist, one Product Identity reminder—before you paste anything into a public doc.
Teach the table
Walk one SRD section together. Separate “how the mechanic works” from “what you may publish.” We are not counsel.
After session one
Date which SRD revision you cited and what you marked house-only. Co-authors need a trail.
Primary publisher legal pages beat anonymous permission myths. Next stops: Guides, Resources, Community, FAQ.
