Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 9703566" data-attributes="member: 7006">Anything that is not strictly mechanics-related will absolutely be able to be used.  I mean I would presume anyone playing Level Up has been able to use any of EN Publishing's older adventures with it even though those were made for 5E14 and not Level Up specifically.  So there's no reason to think any WotC 5E adventures (during '14 or '24) would be the same thing.Likewise any campaign setting material is mostly all merely narrative and descriptive information, and thus the mechanical foundation of the game that is using it doesn't matter.  People are using and playing with 5E14 settings even though they might be using the 5E24 rules, just like people used the 3E Eberron material while playing 5E14... so there's no reason to believe the inverse of those can't be true-- a setting book released following 5E24 being used by a person playing 5E14 (or TotV or LU or heck even Shadowdark.)The only books that will have probably the least usefulness to a 5E14 player will be any 'of Everything' book-type thing that comes out that is specifically written to give new character options to 5E24 characters.  But if there are people who don't buy those books... that's fine.  Every single one of us D&D players don't buy MOST of the books WotC publishes.  So it's perfectly okay if 5E14 players choose to skip the splatbooks, as WotC isn't expecting everyone to buy everything anyway.  I mean heck... I've been a 5E supporter this entire decade and yet have probably only purchased 1/10th of the products WotC has released (if that).  And that hasn't affected the game's success one bit.  So 5E14 players who chose not to buy the 5E24 books are going to be just as ineffective to adjusting WotC's bottom line as I was.  They don't need us.  We are not important in the grand scheme of things.  We are all as individuals virtually invisible and what we chose to do or not do does not in fact matter.</blockquote>
