Do you find Fantasy Grounds just too much of an investment?

[QUOTE="DMCF, post: 6748976, member: 6790388"] I'm up in the air as well. I currently subscribe to Roll20. I've bought books, and DM AL so I get adventures. I bought all of Devin Knight's fantasy tokens a while back because I like his art style. I also buy figurines and I just started buying ones I can paint (and therefore bought all the painting accessories). I've considered FG because I like how well the adventures are integrated, but when you add up the cost for the MM online and the one I bought it gets expensive and all I'm gaining is tokens. Running both online and live games I think I'd rather sink money into the live games. Conversions of PDFs and some art tokens don't seem worth it at the prices their charging. I know they can't undercut their own book prices but for those of us who bought them there needs to be some way to get us to invest online. Not that I'm blaming anyone since it doesn't currently exist. Roll20 and FG API are relatively new and their customer curves have been skyrocketing the past couple years. WotC can add future incentives such as codes that come with the books, $5 statless token bundles for various MM's etc. I hope WotC understands marketing and goes with this. The number of people who'd buy an $5 MM token packs alone is massive profit. Then again it's WotC and they are horrible at marketing...I kind of love that about them too :). They could be owned by lets say...Electronic Arts for instance. Anyone can spend 5 minutes on Google and learn what [I]that[/I] means! [/QUOTE]
