Homebrew Content

Create custom items, monsters, and spells for your campaigns.

What is Homebrew?

Homebrew content is custom D&D material you create for your campaign. When the official catalog doesn’t have what you need — a custom magic sword, a unique creature, or a modified spell — you create it as homebrew.

Where to Find It

Homebrew is managed from the Homebrew tab on the Campaign Dashboard (the 5th tab). Each campaign has its own homebrew content.

The Three Types

TypeCreation MethodUsed In
ItemsCreate from scratch or clone from catalogCharacter inventory
MonstersClone from catalog and modifyModule encounters, token placement
SpellsClone from catalog and modifyCharacter spell lists

Clone from Catalog

For monsters and spells, the primary workflow is cloning: search the D&D 5e catalog, select an entry, and Mimir creates a homebrew copy you can modify. Items can also be cloned or created from scratch.

Cloned entries display “Based on [original name]” so you can track the source.

How Homebrew Integrates

  • Homebrew items appear in inventory search results when adding items to characters
  • Homebrew monsters appear in monster search when placing tokens in Token Setup
  • Homebrew spells appear in character spell lists alongside catalog spells

All homebrew content is tagged with an HB badge throughout the UI.
