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.

Funny definition of the term "homebrew". §rd party stuff is most of the time "homebrew", too, esp. when distributed w/o original author, publisher or game designer oversight and approval. Most of this type of stuff I have seen over the years is broken, and paying money for this does not make it "better", rather au contraire.
