I am actually loving this new reserve.  Something like this is applicable to any game and would love to see more overlays like this (like snow, fog, etc) in future reserves, or other assets that is not game specific.  (I only play 5E DnD but I know not everyone does)

Looked over the content, some critic, in Animated Rainy Weather with Bonus, the "Heavy Rain and Mist" and "Heavy Rain, Mist and Lightning" opacity is unusable as a overlay, the opacity is zero (completely hides whatever you put it on).  Would make interesting backdrop however for a dream sequence or something though.
