I am very new at this. Save for running a few adventures as DM back in the 1990s (ie A Light in the Belfry, gosh, I wish these were still being made) I am starting the Starter Kit (physical) with my wife and I was wondering how one would create/start new adventures online.
I know one will have to buy the adventure package in order to create a game with others. I bought a players handbook (digital) so I can share with my friend online or in a campaign.
Questions:
Do all players have to purchase a campaign or the adventure that we will all play?
Monsters are sold separately (fair enough, intellectual property and all). I own a Monsters Manual. If I buy a monsters manual (digital), would I have access to all the monsters? Will anyone else have to buy the books to access the content?
Is it worth running the adventures online?
The Campaign log is saved. Besides the notes and such, what is its practical utility?
Is there a video or link to a video anyone can share that shows how to pay online in this site/service?
No, if you plan on sharing content you purchase, then only you have to purchase that content. You can share it with folks in your campaign, provided you have the correct subscription to do so.
Again, you would have access to all the things you purchase (Monster Manual content and, presumably, extra adventure specific monsters from the adventure you purchase), and those in your campaign would be able to see them as well.
Running adventures online helps those whose groups are unable to meet locally and/or helps DMs who want additional "production value" in the way of visuals and audio, or automated mechanics, that may enhance their gaming experience. Personally, I enjoy the traditional physical group around the table approach, but I have run online games before and understand their usefulness.
That's about it. The Campaign log is not the most useful tool on this site.
