Hello:

If I want to make a race that is different enough in all the other ways and generic enough that anyone can use it but

I just want to tag the end of the name of it with the name of my campaign only so that others I tell about it can search for it and find it is that acceptable or is that violating the rule making it not publishable?

Thanks,

Indy

You do NOT need to publish homebrew for other people in your campaign to see and use it. In fact, it is best to keep homebrew private. If you are an average joe like me, there is no point in publishing homebrew.

Unless you are a YouTuber, writer, or some kind of professional that needs public attention and interaction, you do not need to publish anything. There is no way to edit published homebrew, so do NOT use publishing that way to elicit feedback on unfinished homebrew. If you want to elicit feedback, use the homebrew forum and write your homebrew there for others to review; for play testing, set up a campaign and invite players to join your campaign and have them play test it there. Publishing homebrew is for homebrew that is complete and finalized, similar to publishing a real book or document; once it is published, it is permanently out there and there are no takesies-backsies.

You can publish half-baked homebrew, but it is going to cause a massive pain in the ass later. The only way to "edit" something is to publish a new version, but that does not get rid of the old version, and if you keep "editing" overtime, old homebrews will clog up your drop down menus to the point of being unusable.

That helps.

I was under the impression that if you did not make it public others could not see it but I really don't want to publish it anyways.

The great thing about homebrew is that you can share them with everyone in your campaign. Unlike official content where you need a Master Subscription to share content, all homebrew is automatically shared for free.

And another tip while we are on the topic of content sharing, if you really do not want to pay the Master Subscription to share official content you bought on Beyond, you can always just use the homebrew tools to make private homebrew copies. The only bad thing about this approach is that it will bloat your drop down menus if you copy everything, as mentioned above.
