How to Use D&D Beyond to Create Homebrew Content

Fans have been creating homebrew content for Dungeons & Dragons for decades. Whether it’s additional racial and class options or enticing players with intriguing new spells, magical items and weapons, homebrew content can strengthen a game in ways that keep everyone at the table excited about exploring their shared world.

Many players and DMs use the online platform D&D Beyond to keep track of all the important aspects of their game, from character sheets and campaign details to unique homebrewed creations everyone in the game can access. There is also a massive community of homebrew creators, and those who pay even the lowest monthly subscription fee can gain access to a wide array of user-generated content that can be integrated into their own campaigns.

Those without a paid subscription to D&D Beyond can still create and share homebrew content, though only within their own games. Whether it’s unique spells, magical items, monsters, backgrounds, feats, races or subclasses, anyone with a D&D Beyond account can access the homebrew creation tools and share that content with players in a campaign they are running. Content does not have to be shared publicly to integrate into one’s own games, which means a paid subscription is not required unless the creator is looking to make that content public for others to use.

Whether creating a new piece of homebrew content, D&D Beyond will first offer the option to choose a pre-existing template to begin shaping the new content. However, there’s also the option of starting from scratch. For example, a DM who wants to create a brand new monster could take a moment to figure out some similarities between their idea and those in the game, then use an existing monster as a baseline to save themselves a lot of work.

On the other hand, if there are no monsters that can be used as a reference, creating from scratch allows the use to begin the process of adding important details. For monsters, there are numerous options available to make any encounter believable. Things such as stats, description, special traits and abilities, actions, attacks, bonus actions, and whether or not the monster has a lair or lair actions can all be added before saving the homebrew content and preparing to integrate into the game.

D&D Beyond has a list of rules it expects all content creators to adhere to — particularly those who are sharing their creations publicly — so be sure to read those before creating anything to share with the community.
