ICE needs an SRD for thier systems.

(1/5) > >>

Bruce:
This is especially true for RMU and HARP. Having an SRD can help a great deal to get the game out there and into the world more and that helps attract more potential players. There are so many great ideas for game organization and management and they all support SRD's.
I personally use Obsidian.md.
Obsidian.md is a markdown note taking app that has a lot of community support for a variety of RPGs and the systems that get the most push are those with SRD's because people do not want to spend the extra time putting all the core rules and stuff into the format for ready use.
Obsidian.md is free and it some really cool community designed plug ins that help with TTRPGs from campaign management down to running a complete game from within Obsidian.
Having the SRD stuff in a set of files like that which Obsidian.md uses helps to get people interested in a game system.

I believe it's the abbreviation for Surinamese Dollars....but it could also be a system reference document that provides guidelines for publishing material under a Open Game License. Given the context here I'm going to go with the second option.

OLF, i.e. Olf Le Fol:
He's talking about the game system, so System Research & Development? Or mayhap a Service Release Date because releases are only estimations? Or a System Readiness Test because there are still typos in the final products? So many options possible~
