Wizards of the Coast has released the 5.1 System Reference Document (basically the core rules of D&D 5e) in four new languages alongside English including Spanish, Italian, German, and French.

In my opinion, this is an amazing effort and one that helps Wizards of the Coast improve its reputation as a good steward of D&D and good partner of the hobby.

Yeah, I don't know how anyone who paid attention during the OGL fiasco could say they are being a good partner to the hobby. This is all just backpedaling from that disastrous move. I welcome it, but let's not rewrite history.

As for being good stewards of D&D, I think the next edition is shaping up to be an overly cautious iteration on what's already there, and they're unwilling to make changes of any major significance in order to fundamentally improve the game.

After the OGL debacle and seeing the extreme risk aversion of this new version and the questionable direction of the changes they do want to make, I decided to move on from 5E as my main system. I'm currently running a 5E campaign to level 20 which should wrap by the end of the year, after 4 years. I've run another multiyear 5E campaign, played in others, bought the books...

I'll check back in for the edition after this one.
