Hi all, long time no talk… my toddler, my love for my wife, and a full-time job doesn’t afford me much free time.
Anyway, getting to the point. Thanks to a user, Julian, who emailed me in March with an idea, I’ve been toying with the idea of Homebrew content being visible within HeroMuster’s Open Legend tools.
Example:
Currently, this is SUPER early. It’s using a .yml file in the same format as the official feats.yml file, labeled on my test server to be for my account, then combining it with official feats, re-sorting it by name, then outputting it to the page.
Loooooong term, it would be a feature where paid subscribers to [Encounters](https://encounters.heromuster.com/) could add their homebrew feats, boons, banes, perks, and flaws, share a link so that anyone could view their homebrew + official on the site and even use them in the character builder (think openlegend.herom…/character?homebrew=great_mustache).
QUESTION: Would this be valuable to you as a current subscriber or be valuable enough to subscribe in the future? For reference, subscriptions are $2/month or as low as $12.99 for a year.
In your response, please specify if you are or are not a current subscriber.
Not currently a sub, I’d actually probalby use this feature as long as there is like a 1 click list where you can choose who’s homebrew you want to activate or deactivate for the current character, soo having a list somewhere with a box where you can say “I want GM’s homebrew but not X’s and I want Y’s homebrew boons but not his feats.”
As a DM who has dabbled in homebrew and who’s player all use HM, it might make me subscribe if i can share my stuff with them on HM
Subscription required to CREATE, EDIT, and SHARE homebrew content, but not required to consume it. In other words, a GM would subscribe to create the extras for their world, but their players (or their customers in a paid module) would be able to access that content without a subscription (or even an account, just like the current builder).
I think it’s reasonable to ask those creating to maintain an active subscription (especially at $12.99/year) if they want to actively keep that content available for others through the built-in features of the site. If you disagree with this sentiment, let me know.
