My understanding is that the cost is variable. You can essentially play for free. Many of the tokens only have to be owned by the DM. I have heard of groups contributing to purchase content but you can use the general shapes and tiles for free.
I have played with Roll20 and Google Hangouts a few times, but I prefer in person gaming.
I was improvising an encounter , for which I had a McDs happy meal toy as the miniature (a super Mario plant) I "re-skinned" a siren-flower from ythe basic DND module "the veiled society" and had it behave like audrey2 from little shop of horrors . does this ( recycling resources from previous editions) count as homebrew ?
Why not? If you tweak anything it technically is homebrew. If it's small, you could call it a house rule (for instance, in my campaign healing magic hurts the undead, but healing potions heal the tissue, making the undead creature stronger, but also have the effects of alchohol on the monster's behavior) but anything you create that is even a simple tweak (like a simple change to the rogue stealth path to call them an all out ninja) is a homebrew. It doesn't have to re-invent a wheel to qualify.

that's like in the basic rules for reversing spells, where raise dead became finger of death and raise dead fully became obliterate, but raise dead cast on undead had the finger of death effect and obliterate caused 3d10 healing on an undead. #showingmyage
And it allows me to have the party get all geared up to fight a lich, only to show up to him too drunk to put up a fight, an entire treasure trove of potions that are now drank and thrown to the ground, shattered. Any and all other treasure would have been traded for potions long ago, to include the phylactery. He's a pushover the first time, but when he reforms sober in the middle of the city in front of the oddities broker who has ended up with the phylactery..... then the fun begins.

Agreed. Pen-and-paper it is way more fun. But I enjoyed Fantasy Ground
Stupid question time!
