Regarding Reliable Talent, one interesting quirk in the rules is that it has absolutely no effect on passive scores. If you want to really challenge a high level rogue with expertise, throw in an encounter that requires extended/repeated activities with with lots of opportunities to apply...

I don't disagree with any of that, but I think there are a lot of unreasonable expectations in this thread. If this turns out to be a solid C title that doesn't overstay it's welcome and is elevated by co-op play, I'd consider that a win.

If a developer just ripped off Rocksteady's engine from the Batman "Arkham" games and added a D&D motif with co-op, I'd be all in for that.

The channel has been going for quite a few years. I haven't kept up with it recently, but it looks like they've recently added more shows, some of which don't use the puppets, I believe.

That reminds of the old "Skyrim Bugs" article/comic where everyone in Whiterun was replaced with bears (language is a bit NSFW): http://www.dorkly.com/post/30121/where-skyrim-bugs-come-from

The only psionic character I ever saw at the table was one I played for a single session during 2e right after our DM bought The Complete Psionics Handbook. I owned the original 3e supplement but it was never used in a game.

LOOK AT THIS PENTAGRAM EVERY TIME I DO I SUMMON GRAZ'ZT

Hah. Not sure I'd label it as optimism. I listen to a lot of podcasts and skim through a lot of D&D games on Twitch. The vast majority of them look/sound/feel largely the same. I don't expect them to be great works of entertainment, but unfortunately they typically don't feature any exemplary...

I'm not referring to written logs or hypothetical scenarios typed out on message boards. I mean an audio or video recording of an actual session. Granted, a good game with a good DM doesn't necessarily produce an entertaining show for third party observers without consideration for an audience...

It'd be interesting (and likely more revelatory) to see a "put up or shut up" spinoff thread in which each DM records and posts one of their own sessions that is representative of their play style.

To be fair, you can't make death go away with a long rest.

I have a similar house rule except I call it a Quick Rest, 10 minutes, and no limit on the Hit Dice.

Put a +4 Max Dex cap on Light Armor. Create a feat (Light Armor Master) that gives +1 Dex and removes the Max Dex cap and any Stealth disadvantage.

I allow it in both combat encounters and chase encounters.

I believe that's all correct except for the first part of #4. A character must have at least 1 hit point at the start of the long rest to gain its benefits.

Sage Advice from Crawford concurs with allowing the extension. https://www.sageadvice.eu/2016/11/18/does-gentle-repose-work-with-revivify/

I voted "Other": I currently do not donate to anyone via Patreon for any of the other options listed. That's not to say there aren't people putting out quality content. I simply don't have enough time to use the material I already own, and I have no need for digital content focused toward...

Or, to quote kenmarable from the Prologue to Third Edition thread, "Balancing as a DM and balancing as a game designer are entirely different things."

Good point. The Fighting Style fix (keeping GWM in its original form) would address the Small creature concern, but not the Monk issue. I wouldn't find the finesse Sun Blade/Moon Blade use to be a problem. If it's truly a concern, have the finesse property replace the versatile property. This...
