Hi Treantmonk,
Regarding the new Artificer Unearthed Arcana, I am making a request for you to change your position on looking at and reviewing it. I understand your position on it but if you do review it you have the ability prevent unbalanced options from making the full game. I know I would love to hear your opinion.

I enjoyed the music, wasn't too loud for me, but a click quieter would be OK also...

Just playing with people who are mature and that are all contributing to a good atmosphere is a big deal. Exploits and abuse kind of become a non-issue. Not that everyone has that option (but I'm glad I do lol)...Can you (as a DM) use rule of cool and bend or break the rules if it contributes to everyone having a good time? Absolutely. Should you do this with people you don't know well or who can't be mature about it? No lol
Matthew Colville recently did a video on the history of the rules of D&D and it was really enlightening. D&D is and always has been Calvinball. You've just got to play to the table you're at.
EDIT: By the way, I like the music, just maybe change the audio balance a bit to make it a bit quieter.

I found the music to be a little distracting - don't want to discourage you from experimenting with background music though!
Also, Good video. I think it's extremely important for players to have this in mind

I totally agree with this take.
What I would love to see is a list of common exploits. You could include the way you would interpret or homebrew them to not be game warping/breaking. This would be useful for DM’s to use in session zero. Sometimes DM’s aren’t aware of an exploit in order to clarify it before it comes up.
