The Dungeons and Dragons wiki is dedicated to the creation and dissemination of homebrew material created for all editions of Dungeons and Dragons. Anyone can jump in and create their own pages with easy-to-use preloads that automatically format and categorize pages.

Unlike other Dungeons and Dragons wikis, this wiki is centered around aggressive quality control. On this wiki, you can find material that you can use in your campaigns without balance concerns. To that end we attempt to tag each page with an appropriate balance point; if no balance point is given, it is implied to follow the [[Same Game Test]]. Please see [[Dungeons_and_Dragons_Wiki:Balance_Points|Dungeons and Dragons Wiki: Balance Points]] for a more complete explanation of our balance points.

The ads on the right will go away if you log in. The "what's hot" on the left vanishes after like 10 page clicks. The three wikia links on the bottom will always be there, but they are unintrusive and interwiki links so I find it difficult to care. There's an ad on the top of the main page, but given how Wikia is offering free hosting and support I think that's an acceptable price to pay.
