Wizards of the Coast has given up on their efforts to kill 5th Edition, and has released the 5e SRD under the CC.

This is unambiguously good news. There is not asterisk or caveats. We won. This is what what we wanted, and will ensure that 5e can continue the future. 5e VTTs will continue to operate and thrive.
And I will be able to continue to make content for 5e and I intend to continue working making my work available to PF2e as well.
More is coming. The future is once more bright.
Thank you to everyone in the community that made their voices heard. Thank you to everyone that did not give up.

We won and it only cost the jobs of 15% of their employees

2023-01-27 22:43:17 +0000 UTCNice! I'm very much looking forward to it. You should also look into pathfinders varient rules, there's a free archetype rule that might work well for the weapon feet's you were talking about the other day.

2023-01-27 22:41:48 +0000 UTCYep I still plan on a PF2e conversion, I had considered it a long time ago, and decided against it due to time, but I have already started the process and would like to see it to the end.
