Expanded Compendium Sharing for GM's and Professional GM's

Score + 22
Hey,  This is a topic that has come up a ton in the past few years , but has never really been able to get any traction because not enough votes.  Here's to hoping it can get enough votes. As a Professional GM, I was wondering if there was a way to get more compendium shares on an existing account.  I already have a pro account and the limit is 5.  T he number of slots currently available is not enough since I run several different games that all have their own compendium.  I would rather not get a second account, since that seems like a total waste since I would have to buy content again. I currently use 4 slots for 2 DND games, Dune and Star Trek Adventures.  The last slot I use for the less popular games and switch between Marvel, Fallout, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun and 3 other games.  I use 2 slots for my DND games , because that is my most popular game with 9 different player groups between them.  My Dune slot is for 2 different player groups and I have had up to 2 STA player groups in one slot.  However, things get crowded when you have so many different groups in one game room, it is best to break them out into smaller groups. I think rethinking the definition of a Pro account may be in order since Professional GM's are more of a thing than we used to be.  You could expand it on the Pro tier account to maybe 10 slots or create a new tier for the truly Professional GM.  With a brand new tier, you could cater to the professionals that are running several different games per week.  With new features that would help a business minded GM, especially with features to help productivity and better sharing options.  But with a brand new tier you would have to do at least 15 to 20 slots.   Thanks for reading, James M NYDungeonmaster The Paladin DM

I run 15 games a week and it is a huge amount of extra work to shuffle compendium slots. I would like to see this reviewed as 5 is not nearly enough for a Pro account. 
The current Pro subscription was created before the rise of professional GMing and indeed does not match the current needs of such professionals. It is easy in this case to reach more than 50 unique players across multiple campaigns A revision of the number of slots would be welcome, but a new tier would also be acceptable.
As a professional gm, I also find the 5 game limit to be not enough. I run 8 games a week currently. 5 use the Roll20 compendiums, 1 is strictly homebrew (which I would love to create my own compensation for), 1 is an in person have, but the last i have to defer to them Beyond20 browser extension and let my players make characters via DND Beyond. I really like Roll20, Charactermancer, and the way the compendiums are set up. It is extremely limiting and I feel of I could run 2 games a day with compendiums it would allow me to grow my business that I've already invested so much into.
