[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7175247, member: 18182"] This is a pretty flawed poll. "Hero Tier" (player) subscriptions aren't free if your DM has a "Master Tier" subscription, the two subscription levels offer different things. If I'm a player with a free account, and I've joined a campaign with a DM that has the Master Tier subscription, I still don't have unlimited character slots and still can't use community homebrew content when creating my characters. However, I can use official content my DM has unlocked and my DM's homebrew content, that's it. And, as others have pointed out, your poll options don't really cover the available options for the service very well. At launch, I'll be purchasing access to the three core books, and maybe Volo's Guide and the SCAG. I won't be subscribing just yet, mostly as I'm not currently playing. If I start having a blast and running through my free character slots, I might consider subbing at the Hero Tier. Later, next time I run a game, I might purchase access to more books and/or subscribe at the Master Tier, completely depends on the specifics of the game and group. If I decide to run an official adventure path, like say, "Curse of Strahd", I just might do so, even if we are playing at a real, non-virtual, table. The more features that go live, the more likely I will purchase more book access and/or subscribe. I'm debating whether to try running a virtual game in the near-future, and I already jumped the gun and purchased some of the official D&D packages for Fantasy Grounds. Paying to access a book on Fantasy Grounds and D&D Beyond has some overlap in features, I'd probably only want to pay for that access once, either for the virtual tabletop or the Beyond service. Not sure which yet, but I'll worry more about it when the time comes. [/QUOTE]
