D&D General Homebrew or Premade Campaigns?

[EzekielRaiden]

If I have to choose just one, homebrew. But I see value in both.

A lot of it depends on overall quality. A "so okay it's average" pre-written campaign is better than a similarly "eh, it's okay" homebrew campaign. But a really, really good homebrew campaign is usually better than a similarly high-quality pre-written one, since good homebrew inherently responds to the group better. But bad homebrew gets...really, really bad.

Homebrew is my favourite part of the hobby, watching different ideas grow and develop through play. I do take premade stuff and adapt it to fit my worlds but even those are largely inspired by rather than raw

Homebrew for the main story, but I sometimes work in pre-made adventures and modify as needed.

Actually, pretty much exactly this. Currently running White Plume Mountain, but aside from the map almost the entire text has been radically altered to fit into my campaign. Every single trap, puzzle, and encounter is different, all the loot is different, the story bears no resemblance to the original except in the very loose sense that it's formerly the sanctum of a long-vanished archmage. About 80% of my stuff is straight homebred, and the other 20% are adaptations, with this being on the extreme end of modifications.

Homebrew 95% of the time. It's mainly that we have so many people who want to make and run their own stuff and getting burned by some bad pre-made stuff (HotDQ and Strixhaven being the big culprits there).

A mix, and a lot of cases of published world with modified adventures, or homebrew world with published adventures.

I use published worlds on occasion because some people are more familiar with those worlds, and for a while I was a bit ashamed how "kitchen sink" my homebrew world was. But, I've been working on a lot of homebrew worlds lately, including my original.
