Background
Foundry VTT is one of the greatest success stories in the digital RPG space. Only seeing public development since late 2018, the software has exploded into one of the largest and most successful VTTs available.
The Forge has evolved alongside Foundry VTT as the largest partnered server host. Alongside our hosting service, we offer users the ability to purchase Foundry VTT content on our Bazaar Marketplace.
The Bazaar
The Bazaar is part of The Forge’s turn-key experience, integrating Foundry content into a user’s game. With tons of features and an easy-to-use interface, the Bazaar makes installing content quick and convenient for all Forge users.
Alongside the thousands of community modules, there are hundreds of premium Foundry VTT packages. Many can only be purchased through The Bazaar. Anyone who creates a free Forge account can purchase Bazaar modules- though users hosting their Foundry VTT games on The Forge get free storage for any packages purchased on our service.
This post is part of a series of posts dedicated to explaining the Bazaar Creator process. If you are uncertain about anything else related to The Bazaar, The Forge has a series of guides meant to teach new Bazaar Creators how to get started:
Becoming a Bazaar Creator
People who sell content on The Bazaar are known as “Bazaar Creators”, and receive the appropriate role on our Discord and website. To get started as a Bazaar Creator, contact us via email, and provide the following details:
- The email address associated with your Forge Account. If you do not have an account, you will need to create a free account. You do not need to purchase a subscription to publish on The Bazaar.
- Your Discord ID. (You will need to join our Discord server, as we share news and updates to the Creator process there.)
- Links or screenshots of your existing content, or a description of content that exists and is ready for publishing.
You can sell almost anything compatible with Foundry VTT on The Forge, including:
- Collections containing images, audio, and compatible videos for Foundry Virtual Tabletop.
- Adventures or worlds, including both system-agnostic, and system-specific adventures. If publishing content for a system, creators must comply with licensing terms from the system publisher. If it is needed, we offer automatic revenue splits.
- Map packs with pre-made dynamic lighting, ready for import into a world!
- Compendiums containing Foundry entities including actors, items, etc.
- Modules that modify/improve the behavior/user interface of Foundry Virtual Tabletop
- And much, much more! If Foundry VTT can handle it, The Bazaar can handle it.
We require prospective Bazaar creators to have pre-existing content if they wish to be approved. This does not have to include Foundry-ready content, only Foundry-compatible content. Creators should only sell content with media they create/own, or are licensed to use.
We can also help creators new to Foundry VTT get started in the content creation process. Just reach out via email, and we can help you on your Foundry VTT journey.
Distribution and Sale
Currently, The Bazaar only supports one-time purchases.
Creators do not need to sell their content on the website- we have a few creators who offer their content for free on our service! We also support “Pay what you want” pricing, allowing creators to determine the minimum price for a package- including free!
