Yeah I said for starters, but you may be right. So doing the math...
I just checked my Obsidian Portal charge is $50 per year not $40 as I previously stated.
Roll20 is $5 to $10 per month according to google. So high end is $120 per year with all the features.
D&D Beyond if $6 per month for the Master Subscription but this doesn't include new content I believe. So $72 per year.
So far we have $120 + $72 + $50 = $242
Content released in 2022 with cost are as follows (someone correct me where I may have made an error here)
- Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse - $29.99
- Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep - $29.99
- Journeys through the Radiant Citadel - $29.99
- The Radiant Citadel - Free
- Spelljammer: Adventures in Space - $49.99
- Monstrous Compendium Volume I: Spelljammer Monsters - Free
- Monstrous Compendium Volume II: Dragonlance Monsters - Free
- Dragonlance Shadow of the Dragon Queen $29.99
Content total cost = $169.95 (rounded up to $170)
Therefore $242 + $170 = $412
Subscription is $30, annually $360
Discount received is $52, the down side being you may also be paying for content you have no need for.
EDIT: The discount is $2 if the subscription does not include a platform that caters for Obsidian Portal-like features.
