Fair enough. I rarely use anything but the premade combat encounters, cuz it's good for winging it, which I love to do.
And puzzles, on the rare occasion I see a good one.
So I Made My Own PHB2

I recommend lulu.comAs the title says. With the various posts and stuff about the 5E release schedule I thought I would post this. Basically I made my own PHB out of stuff I do not mind my players using. I chery picked the stuff I liked or could tolerate.
I would say almost every game one of the players is using something from this book.
So first things 1st. I printed a heap of stuff from various sources. I wanted a nice cover and I liked this one.
Full colour, spiral binding.
So yeah that is my PHB2 I use in 5E. I'm not sure how many pages are in it probably over 100 and there are a lot of new archetypes in their for the various classes and 3 new ones. This is more or less 100% player options as well with races, backgrounds, spells and feats also included. Druid.cleric and the Tempest Rangers have gone down well and there is a Theologian wizard who can pick up cleric spells.

Costs $12. 178 pages, black and white, but professionally bound outside. I just uploaded the two printer friendly versions of the file, and added a cover.

Don't know where you are, but Lulu does have a variety of non-USA stores:

I am in New Zealand. Once you factor in shipping you may as well buy the original on Amazon the price difference is often around $10.
I print my own at home (had a bit of practice at this now with OSR PDFs) pay $0.50 for a colour cover and $3-$5 to bind it.
Cost of the ink might add an extra $7 onto that if you print a large PDF like a PHB type size.
I started doing it for some D6 books, 3.x and 4E with hot glue binding the occasional book and went full on with OSR stuff before caving and just buying real books for Basic Fantasy, C&C and ACKs. I think I have 5 copes of the C&C PHB (3 real), 3 copies of the ACKs book (1 real), printouts of the C&C Castlekeepers guid and monster book (1 real) and 2 copies of Myth and Magic (both home printed). I switched to spirial nidning because its easier to have the book open flat on the table and the binding doesn't break.

In case you haven't subscribed yet, I could put together a version from my copy of the final draft. I've been wanting to write an OGL compliant version anyway, It would only cover two of the three subclasses though.
