D&D (2024) How much would you spend on monthly subscriptions for dnd?

[doctorbadwolf]

I’d pay more than $10, but not $25, unless it was for a lot of stuff.

I currently have the master tier on DDB, and I have a few patreons I and my wife support, and we are considering the paid sub to heroforge.

I’d probably be fine with up $15 a month for a DDB that had a vtt, better encounter building, and a monster builder that wasn’t awful to use. Add in a little monthly content, even just lore, and I’m all in.

Yeah, I think this poll only makes sense for those already playing online.

There’s still a pandemic. I play 100% online. There are too many free tools online to ever bother paying for things you can get for free, do yourself, or don’t need.

There’s still a pandemic.

No, no... there never was a pandemic...
the only possible way to have one, would be, if an interplanar asteroid would crash into earth, bringing an alien virus with it...

... oh... wrong thread...

$10, and only if that includes my VTT of choice.

I voted for $0. I pay for gamepads on zee Xbox but that's a bit different.

I don't really see the point of paying money to DM. May as well subscribe to an MMORPG instead.

I don't play often, and when I do I prefer to do it in person. I'm okay paying for content online rather than the books, but I'm only going to pay for it once.

Which is a choice you made. For some people ease of use has intrinsical value.

Same for games with pay to progress faster.
Some people have more money than time. So it seems fair that more casual players can help themself and just add some money into the mix.

Absolutely. Did I say otherwise? I was pretty clear that was my personal perspective.

It depends on whether I'm currently playing and what the offering is.

First up, if they did digital versions of the Dragon and Dungeon magazines of old (not the 4e successor, which was something of a step down, and not Dragon+), then I'd subscribe in a moment. And that whether I'm playing or not - but it would need to be in PDF format or similar.

For anything else, I'd only consider it if I'm actively playing. And since my games at the moment are in an environment where online access is difficult, it would either need to be PDFs or tools for preparing the game. I have no use at all for D&D Beyond, a VTT, or anything like that - I can't use them. But, I'd happily pay for really good tools for preparing a game... provided I'm actually playing.

In terms of price, $25 a month is probably my limit.

No. I just wanted to add to your statement.

I think people use dndbeyond in person as well? And some people even use a vtt in person
