[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8152320, member: 6778210"] I mean, I'd say yes. First off if you are playing PF2, the possibility of losing compatibility with something like DND Beyond really not a problem since it's all on the SRD, and as a guy who is running 5E stuff on there, the guy who is currently running the working D&D Beyond module has it up in working order (or at least close enough to it for things to run for my group).
