This can be cost effective if all the folks in the party chip in for the DM to get it. All the addons can get a bit expensive, but they are not needed to run the program as a dm or as a player. They are only needed if you want to get more out of the tool without putting much effort into it. For example, the dnd 5th ed starter box adventure is an additional $20.00. I already have the box set, but have not decided if I should import it (type it up) or just spend the money and save myself some time. They do have token sets and maps and more. Many of these can be created if you have the time.Overall, I am really (really) happy that I purchased it. It has opened up the ability to play with some of my gamer friends that moved away long ago. I look forward to role-playing with them again.
