[QUOTE="turnip_farmer, post: 8188793, member: 7029365"] There is absolutely no need to pay for content in Roll20. There is nothing you get by buying the rules that you can't do without. All it means is that you have the rules built in to the software, so it can do things like fill in your character sheet for you, and have macros ready to do all the dice rolls. But if you already have the books, and already have character sheets filled in and know what to roll, do you need that? Especially if some of your players are in the room with you. I play with a group exclusively online, that I only met through Roll20, so for me it's useful to have everything set up in the system, but I'm not paying for a digital version of a book I already own. It takes two minutes to manually copy some stats from the Monster Manual into Roll20. You could even ignore the VTT and just share your screen with an image-editing program to show maps, though the VTT has the advantage that players can move their own tokens around. [/QUOTE]
