Pricing & Earnings

On Adarle20 you set your price based on what you want to receive. When you create a session you enter "Your payout per player": what you get for each player who pays. The minimum is 37 MXN, which becomes a 50 MXN price for the player. When setting your payout, consider your session length, prep time, and the type of experience you offer. Premium experiences with custom maps, handouts, and voice acting can justify a higher payout.

The price players see is calculated from your payout: the platform fee (15%), which covers hosting, support, and development, and payment processing costs are added on top. The result is rounded up to the nearest peso. The form shows you a price preview before you publish, so you always know what you receive per player and what each player will pay. Fees aren't deducted from your payout afterwards.

If you're new to Adarle20, a moderate payout helps you build reviews quickly without undervaluing your work. Once you have several positive reviews, raise your payout little by little. Experienced DMs with strong ratings can confidently ask for more. Specialty offerings — horror campaigns, licensed settings, Spanish-language adaptations of classic modules — justify higher prices because they're harder to find elsewhere.

• New DM: start with a moderate payout and build reviews
• Established DM (5+ reviews): raise your payout gradually
• Veteran DM or specialty offering: price it as a premium experience

Series give you steady income across multiple sessions. When a player subscribes, they pay for their first session and are then charged automatically for each session, about 5 days before it's played. They don't pay for the whole campaign upfront, but you don't have to collect from them session by session either. The payout per session in a series is usually slightly lower than for a standalone one-shot — this discount rewards player commitment. For example, if you ask 200 MXN per player for a one-shot, you might ask 170 MXN per session in a series. The tradeoff is worth it: a full table that comes back every week earns more than half-empty one-off games.

Your total earnings grow fastest by filling every seat, not just raising your price. A session with 4 players at 200 MXN earns more than 2 players at 300 MXN — optimize for full tables first. Offer sessions at varied time slots to reach players across different time zones (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Bogotá all have demand). Weekend evenings and Friday nights consistently book faster.
