    When I start D20Pro 3.6.11 and select a SRD to use, I see a choice of 5e srd and 5th Edition SRD. Is there a difference btw the 2?

    I just checked, they go to different websites but contain the same information. So no real difference.

    The "5e SRD" goes to: http://www.5esrd.com/
    The "5th Edition SRD" goes to: https://www.5thsrd.org/

    Pick the one you like best. Personally, I just keep my books handy or have a searchable PDF copy open.

    Yeah, 5esrd is ad sponsored and contains a lot of additional information beyond the SRD. 5thsrd is a pure port of the SRD (including the weird organizational structure).

    Personally, I like 5thsrd and Thraxxis liked 5esrd. The result is both are available. Ideally we'll have a configurable "SRD" module for you in the fairly near future.

    Basically, you'll be able to specify te SRD URL in your game options and change it at will. This will let you link to other online resources as well -- like the Forgotten Realms Wiki or other such resources.

    Man, I need to buy a few more monitors for all the windows I have open when I'm running a game.
