## What it is
The Homebrewery is a web application for creating authentic-looking D&D homebrew content using Markdown with custom styling. It can be used via the hosted website or self-hosted with Node.js and MongoDB.

## Use cases
- create D&D homebrew spells and monsters that look like the official books
- write tabletop RPG content in markdown with styled output
- share homebrew documents with a link
- self-host a homebrew editor for my gaming group
- format a D&D adventure page with PHB-style styling

## When to choose
- you want to make D&D 5e-style homebrew documents without learning layout tools
- you prefer writing content in Markdown over desktop publishing software
- you want a self-hosted editor for tabletop RPG content

## When to avoid
- you need generic PDF or document typesetting outside tabletop RPG styling
- you need a system-agnostic layout tool with no D&D-specific theming
- you want offline-only editing without a Node.js/MongoDB setup

- function: markdown, templating, static-site-generator, self-hosted
- domain: gaming-tools, web-development, developer-tools
