[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9166852, member: 2209"] I have only used one 5e WotC published adventure in the last decade (White Plume Mountain out of Tales of the Yawning Portal) and that was with a borrowed book. I am in the middle of my second 5e conversion of a Pathfinder 1e adventure path, with the first one incorporating two 5e modules support modules for the path by Legendary Games. If you already have the 5e rules that you want from WotC then continuing on buying nothing more from them is dead easy. There are lots of 5e OGL monster books and OGL adventures. When 2024 updates roll around I think it would be easy enough to find players using 2014 rules. Alternatively you could go off the Black Flag SRD which they recently released under their Alpha Black Flag rules. Or the [URL='https://www.levelup5e.com/system-reference-document']SRD for the Level Up rules[/URL] if you are worried about players paying extra for stuff. I worked off the free online 3.5 and Pathfinder SRDs for rules when they came out and pretty much adopting the game systems immediately. I bought adventures and sourcebooks and setting books as my main purchases at the time. It can work. [/QUOTE]
