Examples Of Inspirational Campaigns and Modules There are literally hundreds to choose from, but some are iconic, inspiring more homebrews than others. The current library of modules and existing campaigns based on D&D rules offers something for everyone. Modules often include campaign ideas that homebrewers can use. Many of these resources are specific to certain genres when building a game that includes characters like vampires or pirates, while others are more general in nature. A single adventuring campaign can go through a number of modules, so this is something that homebrewers should keep in mind if they want to build their own. The module is the setting in which the campaign takes place. There are also plenty of adventuring modules a D&D adventuring party could enjoy. What sets it apart is the unique character builder that allows players to create characters that can be virtually anything. 13th Age Core Book: Another TTRPG that resembles D&D, 13th Age was developed at about the same time.
