This is why I play D&D 3.5 and am working on building out my library of 3.5 materials (despite some truly painful prices).
Way more granularity, way more customization, no shoehorned-in character backgrounds or motivations if all you want to do is play a walking block of stats and roll to fuck up some goblins, and no woke shit to be found.
You can search for materials on torrents or archive for pdf versions. You can also find places that can print them, if it is a local store and you know the guy working there it should be no problem.
I did that with some old AD&D modules and they turned out great., it also helps if you want to hand player handbooks to your players. The actual handbook can be expensive but a printed version is great and a lot cheaper.
Oh yeah, PDFs are good stuff. I've got a lot of them, pretty much the whole 3.5 collection so I don't have much trouble playing and running it, but there are a few I'd still like to have in physical copies so I snap them up when/where I find them for prices lower than "black market organ". :-P
