Message: <blockquote data-quote="Clint_L" data-source="post: 9428383" data-attributes="member: 7035894">Yeah, I'm also really interested to see the pricing.Buying actual miniatures and terrain tiles is hideously expensive and, if you paint your own, hideously labour intensive (it's a labour I love, so not complaining, just reporting the facts). And then, as was pointed out earlier, there's the storage. My allocated garage space is already bursting at the seams, and when the latest Dwarven Forge KS arrives this fall my spouse might have a coronary.So there are tons of advantages to going digital if you aren't a plastic addict like me. But what will people pay for a digital miniature as opposed to a physical one?I'm assuming that another massive advantage will be replication. Do you know how many fricken kobolds I have, in case I want to run an encounter against a swarm of them?***  But if you have, say, the kobold digital miniature you can presumably put out 20 of them or whatever you need. So that raises the value of them substantially.Edit: one more giant advantage: customization. Presumably players will be able to purchase a digital version of their character just as they want them to appear. You can have that done as a physical miniature by Hero Forge for $50-100 depending on options, and there's a market for that.  So for how much for a digital mini that you can link to your DnDBeyond character sheet? (Also, will the VTT support digital miniatures created by 3PP like Hero Forge, the way Foundry does?)Let's say they offer Vecna: Eve of Ruin as an adventure pack, including all the tiles and miniatures you need to build every encounter space in the book. What would you pay for that? $100? More? Less?I can tell you right now that it would cost many thousands of dollars to build it all with physical miniatures and terrain. So what will people see as a reasonable price to have all that digitally?And, crucially for me: will I love the digital tabletop and see all my current stuff as a giant waste of time, space, and money?***around 50 or so.</blockquote>
