So when the player goes to Species, they must also select a 2nd anti-Legacy toggle.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/8Mi9tSL.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="1026x349" style="" />And then finally the species I want them to use appear, and there's no 2014 core content or extra Aarakocra entries or whatever.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/A11wFGs.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="663x1021" style="width: 440px" />I also did a bit of experimenting last night with 2014 species and stat bonuses from Species vs. Backgrounds. Beyond can absolutely avoid adding 2014 Species stat bonuses and will properly use Backgrounds even with 2014 species. The only oddity is that if you use a Custom Background, regardless of whether you are using a 2014/24 species, the Abilities page will say your stat bonuses are from your species. This is just a bit of display weirdness and I don't think it hurts anything.I haven't looked at the interactions for Class options yet but I did check the Species part last night.edit: Also worth noting I do not own MotM. I had my current DM who owns it join my test campaign to make sure I can borrow his stuff if he just has a dummy character present. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":devilish:" title="Devil    :devilish:"  data-smilie="29"data-shortname=":devilish:" /></blockquote>
