So, I kind of want to stay with 2014 rules. What are my longterm options?

[QUOTE="see, post: 9431324, member: 10531"] So, the biggest issue, as I see it, is being able to introduce the rules to new players. Options as I see 'em: 1. Buy lots of extra/used copies of the 2014 PHB (and other books as necessary) to lend to new players, hope you never run out/can replace. (Not [I]that[/I] improbable given the sheer number sold, depending on your budget, how many loaner copies disappear forever, and how long you plan to do this.) 2. D&D Beyond subscription, depending on WotC never ending sharing option for 2014 content. 3. Hope WotC decides to make PDFs of the 2014 PHB available. 4. Make your own home-brewed retro/sideclone. Take the 5.1 SRD as your base. Take stuff from 3rd party open content and adapt (perhaps sections of Level Up), adding it to your base. Print for players as necessary. (3a/4a. Hope sonmeone else does a 2014 retro/sideclone you like professionally.) 5. Various forms of copyright violation (printing copies of 2014 rules from D&D Beyond to hand out, pointing players at pirate sites, etc.) [/QUOTE]
