g33k Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I know that the text of the new edition functions as an SRD for all legal purposes. But that's not the same as having a usable plaintext standalone SRD. Any word as to whether Chaosium is producing this (and if so, when?), or if anyone is producing it on their own ... and an ETA? 1 2 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saki Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I believe that's on the "will be released eventually" list, no ETA yet. I haven't heard anyone producing their own, but there's nothing stopping anyone from doing so if they want to put in the time/effort to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 I think the guy who's creating the character/campaign website -- bruge.us -- has most/all of the SRD there. But not as a single standalone .TXT (or RTF, or markdown, or other common/simple e-format) document. 1 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raleel Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I pulled that website into a word doc, but I’ve not taken the time to edit yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raleel Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 https://github.com/raleel/basic-roleplaying-UGE I've made a github repo with the markdown version of it. I've also included the required art in the directory. I'm open to pull requests. I did not spend oodles of time verifying all the formatting, but it, conveniently, copied off the website in a clean word doc which made the markdown conversion nearly automatic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raleel Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 If folks are interested in helping, breaking up the .md file into smaller logical files would help. There isn’t even any coding involved, you just have to split it at the logical locations. If I can get that, I can make a website with menus and such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saki Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'd be willing to help - how split-down are you thinking for each separate file? Can I just make the edits in Notepad or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notepad would absolutely work, but I’d recommend downloading the free Notepad++ and getting one of the markdown viewer plugins. i don’t actually know how small. It might be chapters at first, which is just Heading 1 (one # in front) I believe. Essentially, comfortable to read and search. Web pages aren’t supposed to be 500 pages long like it is now. if you don’t know how to do GitHub, that’s ok. I can manage that part of I just get files.

I used to use Notepad++, that's a good suggestion. I'll work on this this week and reach out when I get somewhere with it. Can you PM me your email address here or on Discord?

g33k Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 I see the ORC License has an official (c) registered at the Fed: https://azoralaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ORC-License-TX-9-307-067.pdf I don't know of any Library of Congress entry yet, but supposedly there will be a perma-copy there. 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason D Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Just as a status report: We're just sending the updated files to the printer. We can't predict exactly how long it will take to go through existing stock, or how much existing stock is sitting in stores unsold, so we can't say exactly when the updated edition will be available commercially. We'll be making the revised/corrected .pdf available soon. We're also going to be releasing an errata document in the immediate future as well. (it's prepared, but needs some formatting and cleanup) There are some interesting/exciting announcements to come regarding BRP.

Saki Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Awesome Jason, thank you for the update! I was expecting this to be much further out, I'm excited that we'll get this so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term "revised" sounds as though the scope of change may be greater that the "typos & similar minor corrections" sorts of things, that Chaosium has often produced after a "Tribal Edit" round ... ?

Based on the below quote, it is a bit more than typos clean-up (emphasis mine) but not that much more. Is it more changes than previous tribal edits? I don't know. To be honest, I would not read too much in the term "revised". It can mean a lot of things. On 1/23/2024 at 11:11 PM, Jason D said: I'm currently making the edits to the file. The tables use a clearer and slightly larger font. We could not go with a much larger font, but it is noticeably more readable. I'm simultaneously creating an errata document for all changes that affect game mechanics. (I am not including things like typos or slight cleanup of language.)
