Sponsorship & Partnership

Reach the people who run the game

TheCrazyGM is a toolkit and community for GMs who take their craft seriously. If your product makes their table better, we'd like to introduce you to them — the right way.

Who reads TheCrazyGM

Our readers are active GMs and players — people who invest real time and money in their hobby. They look up spells at 11 PM before a session, homebrew rules on their lunch break, and buy books they'll actually use.

These are not casual browsers. They arrive from search with specific intent — looking up a spell, building a character, prepping an encounter. That focus is what makes this audience valuable.

Sponsorship formats

We keep it simple: a small number of placements, all hand-approved, all flat-rate. No auctions, no algorithms, no surprise creative.

Sidebar Placement Flat monthly rate

A single, tasteful placement on relevant tool and reference pages — the ones GMs have open during session prep. One slot active at a time, so your brand isn't competing with anything else.

  • Static image or simple HTML creative — you supply the assets
  • Appears on high-intent pages (spells, character tools, encounter builders)
  • We review all creative before it goes live
  • Monthly commitment, no long-term lock-in

Pricing: Inquire — we'll share rates based on current availability and fit

Sponsored Content Per placement

A featured post or tool writeup that introduces your product to our community honestly. We write it in our voice, or collaborate with you — either way it reads like content, not an ad, because we mean what we say.

  • We only write about things we'd actually recommend
  • Clearly labeled as sponsored — our readers trust us because we're transparent
  • Suitable for new product launches, crowdfunding campaigns, or tool announcements
  • Stays on the site permanently (not a limited run)

Pricing: Inquire — priced per piece, volume discounts for ongoing partnerships

Tool Page Co-branding Flat monthly rate

Placement directly within one of our most-used tools — the spell reference, character builder, or encounter assistant. A light "Supported by [Partner]" attribution that lives where GMs are actually working. High dwell time, zero interruption.

  • Integrated naturally into the tool UI, not overlaid on top of it
  • Single sponsor per tool — exclusive placement
  • Ideal for brands closely related to the tool's function
  • Impressions are high-quality: same user, multiple visits per week

Pricing: Inquire — limited availability; we discuss fit before discussing price

Our approach to sponsorship

We've watched ad networks hollow out sites we used to love. We're not going to do that here. A few things you should know before reaching out:

We keep slots scarce

We will never sell more than a small number of sponsorships at once. Scarcity is the point — it keeps your placement visible and our site readable.

We approve all creative

Every ad, image, and piece of copy goes through us before it goes live. We're not a pass-through for a network.

Flat rates, no auctions

We don't do programmatic. You pay a fixed amount, you know exactly what you're getting, and so do we.

Community comes first

If a partnership isn't serving our readers, we'll say so. Sponsors who share that value are the ones we want to work with long-term.

Who tends to be a good match

We're selective — not because we're difficult to work with, but because endorsing the wrong product hurts our readers and wastes your money. Here's a rough picture of what works:

Good fits
  • Dice, accessories, tabletop gear
  • Miniatures and terrain products
  • TTRPG publishers and third-party content
  • VTT platforms and GM tools
  • Crowdfunding campaigns for tabletop games
  • Hobby-adjacent subscriptions and boxes
Not a fit
  • Products unrelated to the hobby
  • Generic finance, crypto, or gambling
  • Anything we wouldn't personally recommend
  • Competing tools without a clear differentiation story
