Homebrew bundles, allowing a creator to bundle multiple homebrew items into a single "package" that is published. Other people subscribe to this package and get everything that it contains. Useful for sharing anything that isn't trivial, such as conversions or campaign settings.
Am really enjoying using the item and monster homebrew, continues to be generally quick and painless. I have, however, noticed a couple of issues. I had the annoyance of having made quite a few changes to a monster in the 'basic information' part. I then went to add a language, which takes you to a separate screen. When I returned back all the changes hadn't been saved. It would be useful if either it auto-saved changes when you are moved to a different screen or prompted you to do so...
Second issue I noticed was the text boxes seem to have some formatting issues, especially with Bold. A couple of times I have found that some text has become either bolded or normal and refuses to change - I can't work out why this happened though.
I've noticed both of those glitches. The first one is easy to work around, if annoying to have to.
The second one. . . I'm not sure which of two issues you're talking about. Could you try for a little more detail?
Glad it is not just me! The formatting I noticed was when I selected text, bolded it, but the bold seemed not to come off - irrespective of whether the big B was toggled or not. However, it only seemed to happen sometimes - I wondered if it was something to do with me trying to do ctrl B - but I struggled to replicate what I did! Then sometimes it wouldn't let me bold some text at all. Then other lines there was no problem! I was very confused!

I don't recognize that one. I've just had the one where a few words come pre-bolded that shouldn't be and strongly resist being unformatted and, come to think of it, the other one where something comes pre-bolded and resists all my efforts to un-bold it.

is there ever going to be a way to create folders to sort your homebrew collections? or to have multiple homebrew collections for different campaigns? it's a bit of an organizational nightmare atm

That is a truly excellent suggestion.

Currently, magical items have a "notes" section that contains useful information, such as bonuses, attunement requirements, and weapon properties, to name a few; however, there is no way to filter magical items using this section. For instance, if I wanted to search specifically for magical items that require attunement by a cleric, there is no way to currently do that, at least that I know of.
I have a question about home brew. My group have been working on an Athasian(Darksun) campaign, and I created and submitted "Athasian, Braxat Plate" as metal can not be worn there, this is the equiviliant. I receive the response below. A response like this to the first homebrew I created for our campaign doesn't give me much faith in your system.
"Rejected for:
Other - Other
(Moderator's Note: This monster does not significantly contribute to the homebrew community.)"

Wait, you submitted an item but it was rejected as a monster?

Interesting I didn't realize that.
However my guess is that just changing the name of an item is not acceptable enough of a change to deem it homebrew

You can still make it as private homebrew and share it with your campaign
Exactly this - you can create as much Private Homebrew as you like for use in your own campaigns.
Publishing homebrew is when you have created something interesting that you think other people in the community would find useful.
The problem with this is that I cannot create the magic items in advance that players shouldn't be able to see. There needs to be a distinction between "published" and "public".
HELP! I have been trying to use some of the public homebrew content in my game but I can't seem to add it to my player's characters. It will show up in "my homebrew collection" but when I try to add it to a players character sheet it won't let me. It won't even show up. The only homebrew items that do show up are the things I have made myself. I have the "hero" subscription.

So there is definitely a bug here... I can only add published homebrew content to my characters that are part of a campaign.
Just a quick thought... being able to sort through homebrew content by author and attunment would be nice.
Already doable. Advanced Search. Being able to sort your own private homebrew content by all the things you can search official content by; now that would be nice.
Something that irks me a little bit about the monster creator; skills, attacks, and saving throws are all sort of scattered to the wind in terms of how they're input. Attacks are actions, yes, but scrolling back and forth trying to add up bonuses for all three feels clunky. I also dont understand why saving throw bonuses are integrally tied to challenge rating in such a way that they can't be altered. Maybe I'm missing something, but that's what it seems like.
It would be much easier to have there be a proficiency bonus field which would apply to skills, attacks, and saves that the creature is proficient in. That would require the actions field to be altered heavily, though. I just get confused when I see monster approved on here with completely inconsistent data, where ability scores, attack bonuses and damage, and CR dont line up at all. If this is the tool that was used in creating official content, am I just missing something important about how monster work in the first place?
Do you like my Boots of Flying?

Why can't someone's published homebrew content be viewed from their profiles?
