D&D 5E Do You Allow/Use Third Party Material?

I have declared the witch hunter to be OK in a game I DM and we freely loot other systems for things like bonds between characters. But for actual rules I don't allow any 3PP and I likely won't use such adventures or other DM material either.

Basically thus far it's only the Core books, SCAG, UA and EEPC that are allowed. I would also allow the background trait from the Haunted background in CoS.
 

I've used a few classes from different sites including the revised elemental monk. I enjoy the monster a day I found from reddit which has had some interesting monsters. I worked on a shaman class for while but the player decided not to use it so I left it. I always vet new things a player brings me, and I'm usually open to trying new things.

I should take a look at the Foes book, seeing how it was well received by this thread.
 

Like many else, I use Fifth Edition Foes (and will use Tome of Beasts, when it comes out), but would probably not allow a player to bring some random third party option to the table. As it was, until recently I didn't even allow the use of WOTC player options outside of the PHB.
 

WotC materials are assumed to be ok. Anything else can be added with DM permission. In general, people don't go outside WotC's materials.
 

Yes to whatever I find interesting. I have a host of race, subclass, monster, spell, and magic items options available for use. DMs Guild, the EnWorld Homebrew Forum, blogs, whatever I find that I like is fair game.
