Welcome traveler from an antique land. Please sit and tell us of what you have seen. The unheard of monsters, who slither and bite. Tell us of the wondrous items and and artifacts you have found, their mysteries yet to be unlocked. Of the vexing vocations and surprising skills you have seen.
### Homebrew D&D made easy
The Homebrewery allows for the creation and sharing of authentic looking Fifth-Edition homebrews, with just text editing. It accomplishes this by using [Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics/) along with some custom CSS-styling.
Stop worrying about learning Photoshop, fiddling with spacing, or tracking down the PHB assets. Just focus on making your homebrew **great**.

#### Snippets
If you aren't used the Markdown-style syntax, don't worry! I've provided several **snippets** at the top of the editor. When clicked, these will *inject* text wherever your text cursor was.
Each snippet is a common format from the Player's Handbook or is a feature of The Homebrewery. You'll never have to memorize exactly how a Monster Stat Block is suppose to be formatted.
### Editing and Sharing
When you create your own homebrew you will be given a *edit url* and a *share url*. Any changes you make will be automatically saved to the database within a few seconds. Anyone with the edit url will be able to make edits to your homebrew. So be careful about who you share it with.
Anyone with the *share url* will be able to access a read-only version of your homebrew.

### Images
Images can be included 'inline' with the text using Markdown-style images. However for background images more control is needed.
Background images should be included as HTML-style img tags. Using inline CSS you can precisely position your image where you'd like it to be. The image **snippet** provides an example of doing this.

### Legal Junk
You are free to use The Homebrewery is any way that you want, except for claiming that you made it yourself. If you wish to sell or in some way gain profit for what's created on this site, it's your responsibility to ensure you have the proper licenses/rights for any images or resources used.
### Crediting Me
If you'd like to credit The Homebrewery in your brew, I'd be flattered! Just reference that you made it with The Homebrewery.
### Things that don't work
There are a few things I couldn't get right
* Spell save block, with centered text and sans serif are not support. Ran out of mark-up to use
* "Spell slots per level" text above the levels on a class table.
* I built this for Chrome, so if it looks weird to you, use Chrome instead.
