[QUOTE="smiteworks, post: 7667098, member: 87795"] If a DM has the modules, the players don't need to buy them to access them while connected to the DM. Only in the case of 6 DMs all playing who want to own all the options does it start to add up there, since there isn't an option for DM's to share the content among themselves. Many DM heavy groups I'm aware of rotate DM's on a more monthly basis (if not longer) and they get a 1 month sub at $9.99 for FG during that time to let all the other DMs play for free. When they are ready to switch, they cancel their sub and the next DM picks up a sub. If you have a hiatus, you can skip time between re-subs too. Then you are just looking at whether or not each DM needs or wants to pick up each of the different packs. For the player packs specific to this group, it probably makes sense to pick up the PC Customization Pack ($9.99) + the pack for the type of character you want to play for each DM ($2.99-$5.99). Each DM might actually want the full Monster Pack, but some might be okay with entering a few manually and picking up just a celestials & fiends pack for their game ($4.99) or one or two of the others. It sounds like a few people are trying to find the most expensive possible solution where every player is also a DM who plans to play every single class in games when they are playing and they alternate between playing and DM'ing constantly throughout each week. If that actually does apply to you, then I'd say that the cost is most definitely worth it just so you can maximize your gaming time even further. [/QUOTE]
