I just bought the starter set Heroes of the Borderlands off of Amazon. The physical boxed set. I see that I can also buy the Digital Adventure pack for $14.99 which is great. Now, can I take the digital pack and load it into Foundry VTT or do I play it on D&D Beyond VTT? If it is the latter, do my players need to also purchase it or do they just setup and account on D&D Beyond and get to play the adventures with me as DM for Free?
I have been away from D&D for a long time after playing 1st Edition back in the day. I am retired and now I want to get back into it and also want to start DMing. I have friends who are virtual. Anyway, thanks for the help and sorry if it has been asked but I couldn't find anything in search.
The $14.99 Digital Adventure Pack is for the official D&D Beyond Maps VTT, not Foundry VTT. They don't need to buy the adventure or a subscription. I'm pretty sure they only need a free D&D Beyond account to join your sessions. I think. I'm not 100%

The products sold on D&D Beyond's marketplace are digital content for use on D&D Beyond. D&D Beyond doesn't sell content for Foundry (which is a competitor of theirs in this area).

The players do not need to purchase anything, but they will need D&D Beyond accounts (they're free) in order to use the VTT.
