Here's how I think it will work:You'll probably get basic access to the VTT if you have paid DnDBeyond subscription, or if someone in your party has a Master Level subscription. But I think that will only include basic assets, to give you a taster.You'll pay extra for extra assets, such as entire source books like the MM and expanded character customization. Also, every adventure book will be released with VTT assets (dungeons, creatures, etc.) for an extra fee.You'll be able to mix and match assets when creating your own stuff (much like buying Warlock Tiles or Dwarven Forge sets, only virtual).So I think building up a big collection of digital assets for us with the VTT will cost you a pretty penny, especially if you are a "gotta have 'em all type." BUT it will still be much, much cheaper than buying all those miniatures and terrain, and will have the advantage of being able to use the same asset multiple times (so if you need 50 kobolds, you can just use one or a few virtual kobolds to cover your needs).The advantage to the player is that you will save a lot of money compared to buying physical miniatures, etc., you won't have to store them (my garage is bursting already), you can use them online or take them with you anywhere you have your laptop...really, there will be so much more convenience at a much lower cost. The advantage to WotC is that they are earning a lot of the money that is currently going to folks like Wizkids.The disadvantage is that it is virtual. Tough to buy and sell your assets, and (for me) way less fun to collect. And paint. Etc.</blockquote>
