DMG or Monster Manual

[doseyclwn]

If you were going to buy one of these 5e modules for use in FG, which would you buy?

MM. The DMG has lots of nice things in it but Id get the MM first.

Funnily enough I just posted this (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?32987-What-do-I-need-to-play-5e) yesterday.

Zacchaeus' post is excellent. To summarize it and just answer your question, it depends upon which you need more. If you are making custom encounters, the MM is more immediately useful. If not, the DMG with all the magic items and tables will be more immediately useful.

My needs were more on the treasure end. Adding monsters manually isn't that hard, so I grabbed the PHB and DMG today. Had the full license for a while now, but finally upgraded to Ultimate. I do plan on grabbing the MM as funds allow.

I prefer the MM over DMG. In addition FoF will add more monsters. As magic items are not so much spread, then monsters roaming my campaign, it's obvious for me.
I've as well created a module for monster conversions from older editions documenting rules and order on how to proceed. Although I'm not sure it's allowed to be shared.

You are correct it won't be shareable.

So the only hint I can give is read through the official published material by yourself..:

That link is to the errata all of which has been included in previous updates to FG modules or will be in the next update. :)
