Welcome to the DDO Creator Program
The Dungeons & Dragons Online Creator Program is an official initiative by Daybreak Games to support and empower creators who bring the world of DDO to life. Whether you're crafting epic builds, diving into dungeon runs, exploring deep lore, or sharing your adventures through video, streams, or guides this program is built to help you grow.
This is the first official round of the Creator Program. Spots are limited, and while many applicants may meet the base requirements, acceptance is not guaranteed. We’re prioritizing active, engaged creators who align with the goals of the program and can help us shape the future of the DDO community.
If you're accepted, you’ll gain access to tools, rewards, and exclusive opportunities to create alongside a growing network of passionate DDO content creators.
Let’s roll.
Why We’re Doing This
We know that creators are a vital part of DDO’s continued growth. Whether you’re diving into new expansions on Twitch, theorycrafting multiclass builds on YouTube, or sharing your favorite moments on TikTok, your content brings the world of DDO to life for new and returning players alike.
This program is designed to give back to the community that’s helped us grow, by offering meaningful support, cool tools, and unique opportunities to create, share, and collaborate.
What’s the Goal?
The DDO Creator Program isn’t just about boosting content, it’s about building an ecosystem. Our goal is to create a consistent, rewarding experience for creators who help showcase the depth, complexity, and magic of DDO. Whether you're creating guides for new players or streaming the latest epic raid, we want to help you grow your reach and equip you with in-game resources, exclusive swag, promo codes, early access content, and more.
We’re committed to highlighting diverse voices and supporting creators of all sizes from those just getting started to longtime veterans of the game.
