Somewhat of a problematic poll combining homebrew and 3PP.
That is because of the other thread(s) which inspired this poll, in which a claim was made that most DMs don't allow non-official content of any kind.
So the poll is designed to test that very claim by presenting the options of A) some amount of non-official material of some kind is allowed, or B) "official only" is actually the case.
I don't know what other thread that is, but I think there's a risk you're not representing that claim correctly.
After all, you cut Shiroiken off before he could say this:
On the DM side of things, it's almost impossible NOT to use homebrew for custom magic items, traps, and NPCs, and probably monsters too.
So, again, what are we really discussing here?
I bet that other thread contained complaints "my DM won't allow me to use option Z". That is, the perspective of a
player.
This is exactly right. It seems there were a few people who said they want more official content because 3PP and homebrew doesn't count and DMs won't allow anything not officially supported. I've even heard the claim that "most" DMs won't allow anything not official. So I wanted to see. It seems as if 80% of DMs will allow at least some non official material, so the great news is that if you have a DM that doesn't allow it, there's a high chance the next DM you play with will (depending on how out of the box you want**). Which goes back to rule 1 I suppose: If you're not enjoying the people you're playing with, find new people. It's a social game first and foremost.
Still, the poll conflates two things.
1) Players wanting 3PP and homebrew options. This clearly means character build options.
2) DMs using 3PP and homebrew options. This could very well be invisible to the players - a player might not know or care whether magic item X or spell Y comes from WotC or elsewhere.
So what is it?
Are those "few people" players or are they DMs?
I guess you could be interested in the difference between DMs that don't use any homebrew at all, and DMs that only use homebrew for their own use.
But I think you mean
players. As I said previously, I myself voted "no", since that is in line with what I suspect is your intention for the poll. But others might have voted "yes", so I'm afraid the results won't be usable either way...
Perhaps a poll such as the following might have been better?
Asking
players to vote whether
their DMs allow them to use homebrew and 3PP character options?
- Yes, I can use 3PP options for my character if I can persuade my DM to allow it
- No, my DM does not include 3PP options for player characters
