This wiki is centered around aggressive quality control and is focused on providing well-balanced homebrew content. We want to help you find material from our collection that you can use in your campaigns without balance concerns. To that end we attempt to tag each page with a balance point that indicates what sort of games it would be most appropriate in. Please see [[Dungeons and Dragons Wiki:Balance Points]] for a more complete explanation of our balance points.

Anyone can jump in and create their own pages with easy-to-use preloads that automatically format and categorize pages. To maintain our standard of quality, however, we ask that users keep works in progress in user sandboxes and only place completed works in the main navigation areas. Please see [[Dungeons and Dragons Wiki:Article Requirements]] for further information on these policies, as well as how to create sandbox pages and other such explanations. To see a list of articles that the author would like input on, feel free to check out our [[:Category:Help_Wanted|Help Wanted]] page.

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.
