Pathbuilder and Archives of Nethys both have excellent solutions to the remaster issue and are tiny, indie teams. The difference is that they care about user experience instead of just trying to extract as much money from as many people as possible.

If a digital product is not saved locally on your own hard drive and accessible offline, you don't own it.

not too late, they're still selling it

Spells are the most mechanically-structured thing 5e has so it makes sense that they're relying on them as often as possible to make interesting options.

Agree. If its a different game, I don't need or want it because I already like 5e. If its the same game, I don't need or want it because I already own it.

You have it backwards. Schools were a universal classification thing - wizards had to be adjusted as a result of removing schools. Alignment was a universal thing - Champions had to be adjusted as a result of removing alignment.

In addition to the above comment, additionally the Remaster made the following major changes: -Significantly reworked (3) classes: Alchemist, Oracle, Witch. -Renamed a number of spells, feats, items, monsters, abilities to avoid referencing specific OGL terms -Removed Ability Scores, using only...

The more I learn about 5.5 the more confident I am in my choice not to adopt anything from it.

Your only option for a permanent version of 5e exactly as it is, without changes/house rules, and that won't physically fall apart is piracy.

WOTC doesn't view 2014 d&d as a previous edition. Its the "same edition", but an older version which needs to be purged to avoid new player confusion. 5e is in WOTC's walled garden. They aren't going to release it.

If you're buying it when wotc says that, I have a bridge you might be interested in.

This is a piracy site. Mod Edit: link removed

Yes, I'd like players for games I am running to be playing the game I'm running and not a different game.

Yep :) If you want to share what legacy content you have with your players (since if they're new, they literally can't buy it anymore), you have to pay a subscription fee every month. And you're still not protected from the end case where they just pull the plug on the platform (see: D&D Insider)

Anyone who's been playing D&D for less than 10 years has never gone through an edition transition. I imagine that applies to the vast majority of players.

There's always [REDACTED] This is part of the reason why its so heinous that wotc has dndbeyond as the only option for digital 5e. Anything on d&d beyond can be taken away from you at any moment. Even if they let you keep legacy content you've purchased previously, you won't be able to buy...

This is the most important part of OSR games in my opinion. Make it your own! Do what your table likes! Your Experience WILL Vary.

Here's my preferred stealth rules: Stealth - Skills - Archives of Nethys: Pathfinder 2nd Edition Database

The only thing consistent in TSR d&d products is that they're inconsistent.
