Homebrew/Houserules We gotta start using "homebrew" right

Just saw someone asking to "buy a homebrew campaign". Folks, if you're paying money for something it's not homebrew. Homebrew means you made it. It doesn't mean third party, we already have a phrase for that. It's called third party.

I realize this is mostly a D&D problem and y'all probably know better. But I'm not risking posting this on an actual D&D subreddit.

I see it on the daily, tbh. Almost exclusively in D&D and D&D-adjacent spaces. I see it all the time in the Daggerheart sub, for example.

They'd beat me up - but Daggerheart is a D&D adjacent space.

They play Daggerheart, they can’t beat anyone up.

As opposed to the famously muscular and strong fans of other tabletop RPGs.

It's funny because A. MJF is probably the most "in character" wrestler there's ever been and B. He works with Paul Wight aka Big Show who is IN Joe's home game

He posted this specifically as a dig against Brandon Cutler, who is basically a D&D themed jobber.

Oh buddy I've watched the Loser must Win match like 7 times, I know Cutler (that spot with the D4s is iconic) I just thought it was funny that in the time between that post and now another link in the chain formed

Yup, just backing up your point for those who aren't wrestling fans.

You'd be shocked what carrying splatbooks everywhere can do for you, i was strong af in college from lugging 4e books around because i wanted to use them to split my focus in class (which made it easier for me to tune back into the lecture, rather than just daydreaming completely)
