Wizards of the Coast SRD 5.1

Wizards of the coast managed to make a bunch of D&D fans angry with the modifications they were wanting to make to the OGL. But as the dust from the backlash settled they made a move that should be better for the D&D community as a whole.

This version fixes the pacing of the original and does a better job of showing what is happening instead of narrating the story for the viewer.

I give it a 9/10
