The SRD contains all the rules to actually play the game. I know you can 100% play just using the SRD materials because that's what I'm currently doing on Roll20. I play in two games where one has bought all the extra rulebooks and the other is using just the SRD. Both are playable. In fact, we were using just SRD content for both games until the players all got together and purchased the DM the rulebooks.What we do in the 100% SRD game is just add the material that isn't in it. So I'm playing a Hexblade/Sword Bard and I entered the spells and class abilities that I use that aren't in the SRD. You can do the same thing with Foundry because I have done for several characters it to test 5E via Foundry before the 3.0 update.What you're really asking for is the rules content that isn't in the SRD, and it doesn't look like you're going to get that until the 2024 game is actually released. Waiting for that drop is 100% your call, as is writing off Foundry because they haven't put their limited resources into creating material that will be out of date and not used in six months. The D&D Beyond solution is one way to get around this, and people have been bringing it up to try and be helpful.I think the thing you need to keep in mind is that WotC hasn't done the thing that Paizo has and released the whole game free of charge. If you're using the PF2 module on Foundry, you have the entire game with all the classes, spells, monsters, and magic items included. WotC didn't do that, so the Foundry team had to make a call about what to do. Honestly I think they did the right thing, since this will only be an issue for a few months.The most important thing is that if you want to play 5E right now, you can, you just need to do work for material that's not in the SRD. If that's a dealbreaker to you, I think you're going to have to hold off for now.</blockquote>
