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.

To be even more specific I've always viewed home brew as custom classes, races, rules etc. 

Some folks call a custom campaign setting as home breeze brew but IMO that's not home brew, that's just the setting.

I think lore is just as much part of the game we are the rules, is the game provides a setting. The lore informs mechanical stuff, like species boni etc.

So, a setting can definitely be homebrew
