D&D 5E Advice needed (new to 5E, but not to gaming)

[Lord Mhoram]

Alright,

I've made the decision to jump into D&D 5th. I'd been hovering for a few years, but my gaming money has been going to Pathfinder - but it has been hard to actually play (the wife and I play solo); so while I like the stuff I see for PF2, I don't think I will be playing it, given circumstance. I've been playing a 5E game for a few months, and that decided me. I love third party support - that is something I loved about PF. Looking for advice on what is out there in 5E to investigate.

So I know the core books, adventures, and the Middle Earth stuff. Legendary, Frog God and Goodman are producing adventures and support. I am aware of Ultramodern (Amythist was a book I really liked back in the day). I am looking for primarily print material as opposed to PDF (though I suspect I will subscript to EN5ider). POD is fine.

Just curious of what gems are out there (or coming out soon) that I may have missed.

Thanks.

Kobold Press has some great 5e stuff. As a DM, Tome of Beasts, Book of Lairs and Prepared! are great. Tome of Beasts is a godsend when you want variations and higher level monsters than what is in the Monster Manual. They also should be releasing their Midgard setting soon with character options and they have some adventure paths for 5e too.

Good news! You're sitting on a preverbal jem mine! Just click on the Enworld tab on the top of this webpage and you'll have access to tons of great 5E material!

If you're looking to run a thieves guild themed campaign, Ebonclad is a great supplement (POD on Drive Thru RPG).

Gods and Goddesses is an excellent supplement if you're looking for a detailed pantheon (Jetpack 7).

If you enjoy critical hits and fumbles, Nord Games offers a number of decks to that end.

Are you after player splat or other types of 5E stuff?

Lots of good stuff on RPG Drive Thru - some of it is even free I found lots of things there, adventures, random tables,, lists of NPCs all good things.

Just got my Midgard books from the Kickstarter. So far, amazing. Holy cow, is the 'World Book' thick. Just trying to digest them now, but if you like worlds that are supposed to change due to player interaction, interesting social status systems, and possible legacy building campaigns (fast forwarding the time-line perhaps by a generation even), what I have read so far, Midgard can assist.

Already decided to adopt a lot of what they are introducing into a new campaign world I was crafting. I think it will really set it apart from the other one that my players are in now.

Plus, I just like Viking themes, and lore.

GAH. I knew about them - they are one of my favorite Pathfinder compatible products. I love Midgard. Thanks for reminder.

Whatever - Player Splats, adventures, Monster collections.

I'm aware of those resources - I'm looking for physical books, rather then dead electron versions, though I do appreciate the suggestions.

Mental quirk, I can dump 50 bucks easy on small PDFs, but I really think about spending 20 bucks on a physical book, and I got a little carried away when I started doing Pathfinder (all those years ago), so I am limiting myself to print... specifically to avoid that temptation. After I have a solid grounding in the game, I feel I can let myself get some PDFs.
