Hello! I've reached out to D&D Beyond support asking for information about removing the 2024 content from my campaign. They sent me some information that answered questions I didn't ask and ignored the ones I did ask. After that, they chose not to respond. As such, I'm looking for alternatives to D&D Beyond so I need recommendations. I need a service that contains the 2014 ruleset, all source materials for 2014, but where I'm able to exclude the 2024 ruleset. I spent $1000+ on content on this site for it to be rendered unusable to players because of the confusion between the 2024 ruleset being visible. Had a player try to use the 2024 rules last week even though we made it clear we were using 2014 rules. The site is no longer functioning in a method that makes it worth my money to stay. 

What I'm looking for:

Your recommendations or opinions on alternative services to D&D Beyond. My players enjoy 2014 and the additional source material available for it. If a new service requires me to purchase this material, it will likely be done. Price is a consideration, but not the most major consideration.

Any horror stories you have from other services. 

What I'm not looking for:

Your opinion on how WotC have implemented 2024 rules on D&D Beyond. Until they allow us to remove it from sources, I'll not use it for my campaign or discuss it.  

Check out Roll 20 to see if you like it or not

Roll20 / Demiplane might work for you.   Demiplane is similar to dnd beyond and roll20 bought them out.  You can create a free account on roll20 to check it out.  and you can also get access to the basic rules on demiplane i believe.  though tbf it's been a minute since i last looked at demiplane. 

Herolabwhile not quite as good as D&D beyond it works in a pinch

There are only a few legal sources for PDFs, and you will have to buy them all again in order to use them at any of those sites.

Foundry is the obvious one, as is Roll 20.  I do not know the other two off the top of my head, but they are all VTTs, and they have an agreement with Hasbro, so Hasbro still gets a cut.

Anywhere else is subject to sudden closure without warning, and legal repercussions even against the user base. Simply because they would all be engaging in piracy.

I empathize with your challenge -- you desire to continue using a previous edition of the game and the primary site for such is no longer wholly supportive of that version. Similar stuff kept us playing 2e for 25 years.

I do not have much use for DDB beyond looking up rules (app mostly) and as a reference point and then being handy for a forum. The rest of it wasnt even of any use to me for 2014. So, in that case, I have no empathy for the challenges -- I find over reliance on the site for character creation and such when it is a game that deals in resources and the tool doesn't even track resources to be a flaw in the capability of those using so.

But, that's a personal problem, not anything more. I'm an old lady who still uses paper character sheets.
