[QUOTE="SlyFlourish, post: 9450277, member: 54840"] Shadowdark actually uses the 5.1 SRD but I don't consider it "5e" because its generally not compatible. It doesn't have subclasses and the same monsters. For me, 5e compatibility means I can grab a monster from one book and run it in another. I've used TOV Monster Vault monsters in my A5e game. I've used A5e treasures in my D&D 2014 game. I'm betting I can use my Forge of Foes quick-build monsters in a D&D 2024 game. There's a general loose compatibility between the various 5e systems and supplements. It's not perfect. Sometimes its just a mess. But 2014 D&D was barely compatible with itself. Remember when backgrounds in Spelljammer had feats but none of the others did? There's such a stark difference between vanilla D&D 2014 characters and D&D 2014 + Tashas + Xanathars. So yeah, I don't think I have trouble seeing a 5e variant system or 5e supplements working side by side. I've been doing it for the past 10 years. [/QUOTE]
