50 New Community Created Resource For Your 5E Game! by Morrus
I haven’t done one of these in a few months, but I thought it would be fun to do another of my D&D community resources articles where I scour the web for fan-created material so you don’t have to. As always, a great place to find a concentrated roiling mass of home-brews, house rules, and fan-created content is the D&D House Rules, Home-brews, & Conversion Library forum right here at EN World. You can find the archive of all 18 of my lists of useful community created content right here
One of the great things about the WotC forums before they closed was its large collection of character build guides. Fortunately, they were all saved and made their way over here to EN World, and Mistwell has kindly indexed them. There are over 20 guides at the link which help you to design and optimise useful character builds for each class.
A useful note - DrNevermore is compiling a post which indexes home-brew races created by the EN World community. Very useful. If you’ve made a race, be sure to post and let him know so he can add it.
