FOR TTRPG CREATORS WHO HELP GAME MASTERS RUN BETTER GAMES
MageGate Games Affiliate Program
You've earned your audience's trust. You should benefit from it.

Every new affiliate receives a FREE Affiliate Success Kit + Image Pack to help you get started.
Earn 35% Affiliate Commissions Promoting Premium 5e GM Tools
Most tabletop affiliate programs pay around 4.5%–8% commissions.
Here's why creators earn more with MageGate:
Typical Affiliate Program
- 4.5–8% commission
- $150 sale = ~$7–12
MageGate Games Affiliate
- 35% commission
- $150 sale = ~$52.50
You're already recommending products your audience trusts. This simply helps you earn more when those recommendations lead to sales.
Because MageGate customers frequently purchase bundles, upsells, and special offers, your commission can be even higher.
One successful referral can earn more than many affiliate programs pay for multiple sales.
Every recommendation can earn substantially more when promoted through the MageGate Affiliate Program.
Get paid for recommending practical GM tools that help Game Masters run better campaigns.
Example Commissions (Before Any Checkout Upsells)
250 Best Magic Items Complete Collection ($149.99)
→ Earn ~$52.50 per sale (or up to ~$70 with upsell at checkout)
Legendary Lairs Core Collection ($79.99)
→ Earn ~$28.00 per sale (or up to ~$45.50 with upsell at checkout)
Game Master's Guide Complete Collection ($69.99)
→ Earn ~$24.50 per sale
Legendary Lairs Starter Pack ($49.99)
→ Earn ~$17.50 per sale (or up to ~$26.25 with upsell at checkout)
Any of our books priced at $29.99 (such as Legendary Lairs: Elemental Lairs)
→ Earn ~$10.50 per sale (or up to ~$21 with upsell at checkout)
A single referral can be worth far more than typical affiliate programs in the tabletop gaming space.
Note that any discounts or changes to upsells can alter commissions earned.

Why MageGate's 35% Affiliate Program Stands Out
Many tabletop affiliate programs offer commissions in the 0%–8% range.
Affiliate Program Comparisons by Platform, Typical Affiliate Commission, and Attribution Window
- Amazon Kindle eBooks 0%
- Amazon physical books 4.5% (24 hour attribution window, or 90 days if added to cart within that 24 hours)
- DriveThruRPG 5% for non-publishers or 8% for publishers (15 day attribution window)
- MageGate Games 35% (30 day attribution window)
An "attribution window" means how long a customer who clicks your affiliate link has to complete their purchase before the link expires. That gives you plenty of time to close the sale if they don't purchase right away. This is where it pays to send follow up emails reminding them to buy the item.
MageGate affiliates earn 35% commissions promoting premium 5e GM tools, complete collections, boss fight resources, modular lairs, encounter design systems, and campaign-building supplements.
A single sale can generate commissions ranging from roughly $10 to $70+, depending on the product purchased and any checkout upsells accepted.
Most MageGate products (including free downloads) feature related items as upsells at checkout. You normally receive 35% of everything your referrals buy in that order, including upsells.
That also allows you to share our freebies to your audience and still earn commissions if they accept the upsell.

Promote the Way That Fits Your Audience
Every audience is different.
Some Game Masters are ready to buy immediately.
Others prefer to learn first.
That’s why MageGate gives affiliates the flexibility to promote whichever way works best for their audience.
You choose what to promote. Promote a free guide, a single product, a bundle, or the entire MageGate catalog—whatever feels right for your audience.
Promote as much—or as little—as you like. Whether you recommend a single favorite book or build an entire MageGate resource page, the choice is yours.
Whatever you promote, we make it easy for you with a FREE Affiliate Success Kit + Image Pack as well as our Affiliate Marketing Resources Library. These contain images, emails, social media posts, promotion tips, and more. You can use them as-is or customize as needed.
You don't need to become a salesperson.
Simply recommend the same kinds of resources you'd already feel comfortable sharing with fellow Game Masters—your affiliate links allow you to earn a commission when those recommendations lead to qualifying purchases.
Option 1: Link Directly to Products
If your audience is actively looking for premium 5e-compatible Game Master resources, you can link directly to individual books, bundles, or complete collections through the MageGate Games Store.
This approach often works well for reviews, product roundups, gift guides, and recommendation lists.
Option 2: Teach First, Sell Naturally
Many creators prefer to educate before recommending products. We've made that easy for you too.
MageGate.com’s growing Design Library includes free, in-depth GM guides covering:
We'll be adding new pages every month, so check back often to see what new pages we have for you to link to.
These free resources help Game Masters solve real problems while demonstrating MageGate’s design philosophy and teaching practical encounter design.
When readers decide they want to go deeper, each guide naturally recommends the most relevant MageGate products.
Many affiliates find this approach feels more authentic because they can lead with valuable educational content instead of a direct sales pitch.
Whether you prefer recommending products immediately or warming up your audience with free resources first, MageGate gives you the flexibility to promote in the way that best fits your community.
MageGate doesn’t just give you products to sell—it gives you an entire educational knowledge base you can confidently recommend.
