Roll20 Partners are artists, adventure writers, and publishers of all sizes who sell their content on our Marketplace. The Marketplace serves as a distribution center, exposing listed content to millions of Roll20 users, and as a central hub to share externally with supporters or prospective customers.
Partners publish based on their personal needs and schedules by controlling the frequency of releases and various catalog offerings. Some enjoy a slow-and-steady approach that offers a source of supplemental income while accommodating their busy schedules. Other Partners operate their storefronts full-time, drawing their total income solely from Roll20 contributions.

Retain Your Copyright Ownership
Partners retain ownership of 100% of their work.
The Royalty Split

Roll20 applies the remaining 30% to distribution, advertising, hosting, and credit card transaction fees.
Note: If you are creating VTT content to support DMsGuild titles, your contracted 50/50 royalty split will apply as you are selling your content on that platform.
