19.3.2022
The Many Isles exist to help people create, and share their creations with a like-minded community. The Partnership Program is an important part of this: you can create a partnership and publish products on multiple platforms, all for free, and - when money is involved - with only very small royalties. What are the Many Isles?
What's a Partnership?
Partnerships are the publishing entites in the Many Isles, the profile that posts cool homebrews. Most partnerships are Companionships, the basic version that is quickly set up and allows you to publish to the digital library. Some traders (with Full Partnerships) produce tiered products and make money..
Advantages of Closing a Partnership
You might wonder what there is to gain from closing a partnership. Well, there's a few things.
Ability to Publish. Without a partnership, you can't publish.
Access to Merchant's Wagon. The Merchant's Wagon is a free tool with tons of cool resources, especially artwork and styles, reserved for Many Isles traders.
Trader Title. Even companionships grant their owner the Trader title, with all the cool features that go with it.
An Ear in the Pantheon. The Many Isles lives on its community, and as a trader, we'll pay special care to fit your needs. You can easily become part of the greater effort from this stepping stone on!
