Today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show, we're going to look at Black Flag's system reference document, Kobol Press's system reference document for Tales of the Valiant released in Markdown. We're going to look at the Creating Monsters for Shadow Dark Kickstarter. Mike Merles was recently on Dungeon Craft talking to Professor Dungeon Master. We're going to dig into some of the things they talked about. I'm going to talk about my personal experiences having run a 2025 Monster Manual Adult Black Dragon versus my 9th level group. We're going to talk into Legendary Resistance alternatives today. Alternatives for Legendary Resistance. We're going to talk about the end of 1D&D. What is the end of 1D&D? Have we reached the end of 1D&D? I believe we have. We're going to dive into that.
And we're going to cover more questions from the Patreon Q&A all today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show. I'm Mike Shea, your pal from Sly Flourish, here to talk to you about all things in tabletop role-playing games. The Lazy RPG Talk Show is brought to you by the patrons of Sly Flourish. Patrons get access to all kinds of Awesome tips, tricks, and tools like the 5e Artisanal Monster Database, the Random Sly Flourish Random Generator, the Dyson Commercial Map Tool, virtual tabletop backgrounds for Dwarven Forge, and all kinds of other stuff that you get. You get a ton of stuff for becoming a patron of Sly Flourish. But most of all, what you get is to support me to help put on shows like this. To the patrons of Sly Flourish, thank you so much for your outstanding support. There has been a lot of drive and interest in getting more RPG products available in Markdown. A lot of times because people are starting to use Obsidian to do a lot of game planning and to organize their stuff. Obsidian loves Markdown.
If you want to know more about Obsidian, check out obsidian.md, I think is the name of the site. It's a tool that you can have on your phone or your computer. Helps you keep track of notes, but it keeps it all in a very standard and easy to use format called Markdown. If you want to learn more about Markdown, you can Google Markdown and look into it.
What is the significance of Kobold Press Black Flag SRD in Markdown?
But Markdown is a very simple syntax for storing information. A lot of RPG products are now starting to do stuff in, I wouldn't say a lot. There are several RPG products that are starting to do stuff in Markdown, including a lot of the stuff coming from Raging Swan. This is the first publisher I have seen that was releasing stuff in Markdown. Got me excited about it. So I'm going to start releasing stuff in Markdown. Well, one of the new things we have is the Black Flag System Reference Document. The Black Flag System Reference Document is kind of the core engine behind Tales of the Valiant. And there is now available on GitHub, a Black Flag SRD that includes all of the information, including like monsters and spells and spellcasting in Markdown formats, which makes it very easy to read and to drop into your notes, convert to other formats. You can turn it into an e-book. You can do all kinds of stuff with it. So works really well for mobile devices.
It makes the text available on lots of different platforms. So it's very cool to have this in Markdown. You can literally just download it and stick it into your Obsidian Vault. and view it in obsidian so you can keep all of your markdown all of your black flag srd material which includes like a lot of their monsters a lot of their spells a lot of other stuff a lot of magic items available in a very easy to use markdown format so if you want to learn more about this if you want to see the black flag srd in markdown you can find a link down in the show notes i thought that was really cool The 5.1 SRD that Wizards of the Coast released under Creative Commons license is also available on Markdown. And I think over on my GitHub repo, we have the Level Up Advanced 5e system reference documents converted over to Markdown as well, which means you have a lot of 5e material available in Markdown that we can keep in our Obsidian notes.
