D&D 5E Should 3PP upgrade their books to 2024 versions?

The third party stuff going up on Beyond doesn't seem to be changed. It all still works together.

All of it was designed and released prior to 5.2 SRD.
Much of it is unusable in Beyond.

Classes, subclasses, spells, feats and magic items could probably do with a PDF update rather than physical copies. Maybe take those and put them in their own PDF document which could be purchased for a reasonable price.

What recent third party additions are unusable on Beyond...? WotC seems to have taken MCDM, KP, and other 3rd party stuff from 5.1 and just put it up as-is for mixing and matching with new stuff.

Many of the things from Giffin's Saddlebag subclasses don't work, Sinister Subclasses from Grim Hollow don't work, etc.

Every comment on the replies are about how it isn't compatible with the 2024 version ON BEYOND. It is on pencil & paper, but not on the software run by WotC.

Heck, there's still lingering fixes needed for 2024 PHB elements to work

Do they not work together? That seems silly, having Beyond do the conversion math seems like it would be easy.

I see that everything will eventually go to the 5.5 rules and look. I'm working on a new part to the trilogy I'm running on DMsGuild and the newest I'm working on is updated. I have not thought about updating the older things I made over the last several years. I do not see myself doing that anytime soon either.

Speaking for myself, and I don't know which DM'S guild stuff is your's or if it have it, I would likely not buy the 5.5 stuff if I had the other parts in 5e. Nor would I be inclined to buy a trilogy that split between 5e and 5.5.

I am spending more on DM'S guild since 5.5 came out simply to avoid any issues with 5e/5.5 stuff I haven't bought anything from WotC, or used DDB since 5.5 released solely due to the issues mixing the rules has caused.

Just food for thought, I have no idea if sticking with the 5e is better or worse for your sales or if doing the new part of your trilogy twice one for each edition is worth the time either.

All I care about is that they keep the 2014 versions available- especially material with new races/species, classes. and subclasses.

Is it worth the creators time to reedit it? Only they know how many copies they sold, and how much it would take to update the e-copy.
