Outbound reading worth keeping
Authority links and catalogs we actually revisit—not a dump of affiliate junk.
One ordered stack, one teaching diff, one attribution block—before you paste publicly.
Primary SRD texts and publisher legal pages beat anonymous 'extended SRD download' claims.
Veteran readers still invent 'extended SRD' editions that do not exist. Revisit skepticism on purpose.

Track stack order, teaching diffs, and attribution lines. That trail is the craft.
How to evaluate a source
Guides for documentation; Glossary for literacy terms; Resources for primary doors. Then verify.
Date your reference stack order and teaching diffs. Co-authors inherit documentation.
Separate literacy questions from legal certainty. Never treat this desk as an official edition.
Readable stacks and clear links beat pretty PDFs with broken cites.

Use SRD crate/fast/epics siblings for shorter paths; stay here for longer explainers.
Link rot happens. If an authority URL 404s, email the desk with a replacement from the same publisher or encyclopedia family when possible.
