In this repository, we're taking the rich and immersive world of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition's System Reference Document (SRD) and distilling it down to its essence. Our mission is to transform the traditional SRD into a streamlined, efficient guide that retains the full depth of D&D gameplay while making it more accessible, understandable, and easy to use for players and Dungeon Masters alike.
Leveraging principles of technical writing, we aim to present the rules in a format that emphasizes clarity, brevity, and utility. This includes employing concise language, structured formatting, and pseudo-code for rule descriptions, ensuring that readers can grasp complex concepts at a glance. Our approach is designed to cater to both seasoned adventurers and newcomers embarking on their first quest, providing essential information and practical examples to guide gameplay.
-
Succinctness: We've meticulously pared down the text to include only what you need to know, removing any fluff or unnecessary detail. This makes rules easier to find, understand, and apply during your gaming sessions.
-
Clarity Through Examples: Inspired by the best technical documentation and man pages, each rule is accompanied by straightforward examples. These illustrate how mechanics play out in-game, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
-
Code-like Precision: For those familiar with programming, our use of pseudo-code to describe game mechanics offers a unique, clear perspective on D&D's ruleset, making complex interactions simple to digest.
-
Community-Driven Improvements: This is a living document, open to contributions from the D&D community. Whether it's refining descriptions, adding examples, or suggesting new formats, we welcome your insights to make this the ultimate resource for D&D 5e gameplay.
