I call a totally custom, personal world with nothing added a "homegrown" campaign.I spent almost 15 years during the end of 1E, and into 2E only using a homegrown campaign and not really even using published adventures. My friends and I had different worlds that we mashed and kinda made the same world/cosmology.  It was creative, unique and we loved it.Then we got jobs and girlfriends, went to Universities, and the time changed everything.  We didn't play 2-3x per week anymore, though we each did DMing at our respective Universities with new players, and the homebrewing became a different thing. Then I stared homebrewing, taking things and making my own worlds, but that still takes some time.These days, I use pre-published settings, and tweak them to my own game.  It's not because I am less creative, but simply because I have an enormous life outside of gaming as well.  D&D is my favorite hobby, and I dedicate as much free time to it as I can, but my wife doesn't game so that means less time to myself to homebrew.I wish I could, but now, well I am very happy with grinding up another setting and using it for my game.</blockquote>
