The Commons Reference Document and Wasteland Worlds Updates!
New updates across the Wasteland Worlds line.
Newly released: The Commons Reference Document!
We’ve released a rules reference called the Wasteland Worlds Commons Reference Document, or simply the “CRD” for short! The CRD collects game rules from across the Wasteland Worlds product line in one place, and the entirety of its content is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License! This means:
You can now create your own products that are designed to be compatible with the Wasteland Worlds series. We encourage such works, and have provided compatibility logos you can use if you wish.
You can now use and adapt rules within the CRD to help build your own games.
When you create content that uses the CRD you must attribute it, and will need to attribute the Fifth edition System Reference Document (“SRD”) since the CRD is itself made possible thanks to the SRD’s existence. You can think of the SRD as being analogous to a video game like Skyrim, and the CRD as being similar to a large mod. The CRD significantly expands what is possible, but you still need the original SRD in order for the CRD to work.
Naturally, the CRD doesn’t include everything, but great care was taken to make the document as usable as possible without giving away the entire content of the Wasteland Worlds product line. For example, the CRD includes all base classes from across the line except the Savage (but only because it includes the rebuilt Sparker), so you could use any of them in a product you write (or you could refer to the CRD as a player). However, only one or two archetypes are included in the CRD for each class - for the full array of options, the original source book is required (or a designer using the CRD has the option to create their own archetypes, instead).
