So you're a storyteller, are you? Someone who sees the relatively blank canvas that is 5th Edition as an opportunity to paint bold new worlds. Or perhaps you're a player who wants to break the bonds of basic builds and create your dream persona. This hunger beckons a force, one that pulls you away from the confines of the content covered in the 5e rulebooks. You want to see what lies in the great unknown, in the sun-drenched fields and dark corners of a place we call homebrew.

Or maybe you just have a one-shot coming up and can't think of a character concept to save your lꦿife.

Whatever knowledge you seek, TheGamer's team of homebrew artisans have created options to customize your campaign. We have ways to base your characters off of beloved video game icons,🅠 create powerful new magic items worthy of legend, and tie it all together into a compelling story set in a mysterious new land. If homebrew is your passion, 𒐪then avail yourself of our creations.

Make Your Own Magic Items

As a Dungeon Master, you'll soon find that magic ♛items are the way to your players' hearts. But it can get boring passing out the same +1 swords, bags of holding, and rings of spell storing. If you want to get creative, here are some custom magic items based 🧸on iconic weapons from video games.
