After another episode of getting magical items and learning how they work, I need to know about the shark’s ring. For context, in episode 1, the shark looted the dead prince’s body and found a ring with an eagle on it and rustage said it made him feel stronger but that he didn’t know how. Wilhelm must still have it and nothing has been said about it since episode 1 and the curiosity is killing me.
In this episode of Isekai DND: - Cody gets chick trapped - The gang follows Big Tonies example and take full control of both the industry and politics - Rustage turns Jesus into a scallie and gets his players addicted to gacha games - The gang realises that they should probably upgrade their weapons...49 episodes in - Wilhelm creates the most powerful not weapon in D&D history - Tekking and Rustage out themselves as anti French Revolutiom - Norman showcases his character development by going on a date without being creepy - Snow thinks she's on the team 😂😂😂 - Wellington tries his damnest to keep the plot going - The Gang order Rippa to create fantasy NATO - The gang makes the existence of the council pointless 5 minutes after its formation - Turns out this was historically accurate George Washington all along - Syphilis man, makes his comeback
Snow thinking they accept her is delusional on her part. Norman and Shark are just biding their time. Plus she owes a guy 1000 gold for a ring that left reality.
I love how Daniel Greene decided to prevent himself from min-maxing by min-mining himself. Like he only took the worst possible choices ... He could have asked if he cannuse the optional rule and change his figthing style to "Unarmed figthing" giving him a d8 on unarmed attacks. He could have used 2 handed weapon fighting and flavor his weapons as brass knuckles ... But he went with a high str low dex/wisdom figther monk multiclass
In this episode's intro, we have: Daniel Rustage introducing himself. Cashews. Confirmation we could have an alien hybrid in the session. The need for Snow to melt.
I hope with all my heart somewhere on Anthony's wheel is old Tony as an option I think having him replace Anthony but a version from History before he was originally issekai so he would have no idea what was happening all over again and I think the role play dynamic from all the characters would be really fun
My wife made me promise to post this in the next episode. Briggs sounds like Jimmy Pesto Jr. From Bobs Burgers. Im sorry if you cannot unhear that after this.
fun fact: steven was the first christian, and from what my fastor says, he's the only one jesus stood from his right-hand throne for when he was being stoned. he was also a deacon.
It would be a long shot, but god I think Melonteee being on one of these would be hilarious. It’d be so funny watching her try to keep up with the chaos.
i almost thought i had missed an episode because i had no idea who the guy on the thumbnail was, then i remembered that this episode had only new minor characters and the captain guys for next episode
Even if it was only for a little bit, I have been hoping for Anthony to turn into Marie Antoinette ever since Tekking first said it was possible. It did not disappoint.
I understand that Cody is the voice of reason and that he's kind of the leader of the group but, I just don't think that he should have had a say in who's on the council last episode. Cody has shown throughout the series that while he does care about little feather his main goal is to get back home and that is his main focus. He doesn't really care about what happens in Vestoria. If it wasn't for the fact that Snow controlled the fountain that they needed to get home Cody would have been fine with leaving her in charge of things and just going home. I know that he decided not to be apart of the council but, I think he shouldn't have had a say in who was apart of the council at all.
@rustagetwo it's true there is a bit of one there at the beginning and another at the end... I was hopeful for more though.. but that probably just my sappy side showing
51:26 this is a common misconception. she was honestly not a very bad person at all, just out of touch. she didnt even speak french, and was basically just a trophy wife who was bored out of her mind.
The woman was a murderer. If Norman didn't start to pull that incel shit I would have lost no sleep at seeing her blown away. He just made it too weird.
I don’t feel like it was “incel shit” I think Norman was just genuinely very mad and wanted as much revenge as he could possibly fit for snow killing Brick trying to kill the party tricking him and Washington and yehelovich and all that other stuff. Norman has said many times he has no interest in snow after him finding out about her true nature so this isn’t some sort of “if I can’t have you no one can” incel action it’s a “you’re a pain in my rear end and you caused me and a lot of other people alot of suffering”
Sorry for the long comment and I don’t usually write episode reviews or anything but I felt the need to do it for this one since it helps me process the episode better. Especially an episode like this which gives me somewhat mixed feelings. So here are 14 pros and 7 cons of episode 49 of Isekai dnd. Some might be more nit-picky than others but I hope I wasn’t at all mean or anything. **Pros** 1. I am perfectly fine with the episode being about preparations and general management. It’s a smart thing for the party to focus on and every campaign needs breather episodes. 2. The party got their Brewery back. Since you didn’t mention anything about Snow keeping some of it, I assume they got it all back from her. It won’t be a secret that I like it when things don’t go Snow’s way. I’m pretty sure you want her to be disliked so I don’t feel guilty saying that I don’t like her. 3. I like the inner conflict of Cody now being a father. It was established in episode 29 that most Solkin thought hybrids with humans were impossible but Pulmo proved otherwise. It makes sense that other hybrid races can exist in this world. 4. Though I imagine it’s frustrating to some other watchers, I understand why the magical armory is now pretty much emptied out. Though it is easy to just blame Snow (who I admit I greatly dislike) for the lack of cool new gear, she did give a perfectly valid reason why the magic items are gone now. And there is even an option thanks to her sales book to try to buy some gear from anyone willing if need be for the future. 5. Wilhelm/Pitbull/Shark’s new “improvised weapon” is pretty cool. A double side bat staff with two bible-like cutting ends. Realistically completely impractical for anyone else to use but it’s an improvised weapon and he can use them. Plus I think since it can deal slashing damage (if I recall), the oil of sharpness can buff it if truly needed. 6. I liked Norman’s interaction with the tailor lady with no name (so far). She seems like a nice woman and I hope she finds success in Douglas’s former business. His civility and kindness to her gives me hope that Norman is not just some incel, he just hates Snow (and no one can blame him). He even paid her when she insisted the robe was free. I hope we see her again. 7. Anthony with the jeweler was pretty funny. Trying to bargain for his magic ring. But failing that, he switches with Marie Antoinette and has Norman buy an expensive ring at Snow’s expense. Always good to Melt the Snow a bit in a nonviolent manner. 8. It was cool for Cody to get custom +1 metal claws for his beast form. Really makes up for just getting a one-use sharpening oil. Plus the idea of a lion with metal claws is a great visual. 9. I like how even in the Council, you seemed to have made a point to have most if not all of the Council dislike Snow. Showing that even though she is technically part of the circle of allies (for now), the cast have not at all forgiven her. Norman, Wilhelm, Wellington and Rippa made it clear. 10. I respect that even though Wellington is reluctant to use his infinite money (for valid reasons), he does use it for reconstruction. 11. It’s great to see the party prepare for the gods being summoned by planning to round up allies. Whether it be Hullgards, Mushlings, Gnoblins, Frozen, Firenewts etc. 12. It’s good to see George Washington own up to being dumb and a bad judge of character. He may have been partially to blame for Snow taking over but he never told her to be an asshole to the crew. That is her fault and her fault only. 13. BLACKBEARD! Hope to see his cutthroat crew next time as well. 14. Interesting design for Captain Kern. Him being a Hullgard is great. Always good to see more of them. **Cons** 1. Something I noticed is that Snow doesn’t really act like these guys threatened to kill her less than a day or so ago. She seems to act as her usual self when speaking to them. It may be a facade she’s trying to put on, but I thought that she’d be at least a little bit wary when talking to those who can hurt/kill her easily and already heavily dislike her. Especially Norman. She just doesn’t act as of she’s been humbled and/or traumatized last night and is still mostly on her arrogant high horse. Even calling the party’s mission a “silly adventure”. It’s like she hasn’t learned anything from what happened last arc, which might be deliberate on your part. 2. I could have sworn that last episode they mentioned they wanted an odd number for the Council with Snow as just advisor with no voting power. I might have misheard/misunderstood but Snow being a council member is kinda…frustrating after everything she did. Especially since Boudicca did much less bad stuff and is dead. But I imagine that you understand that already. 3. I didn’t really like that what happened in episodes 47 and 48 is barely acknowledged in my opinion. Like Brick’s death or Snow threatening to have Phynn killed in order to save her own skin. Unlike Douglas who got his proper comeuppance, it’s almost like nothing even really happened to Snow or Sylus with how little acknowledgement of it there is this episode. It’s sort of the elephant in the room. I know it’s ultimately the PCs choice to determine what happens to them, but it feels like they both avoided much of the bad karma despite both being morally worse than Douglas. It just leaves a poor taste in my mouth that two assholes still have so much power. 4. I didn’t like how Dyuna and Sylus were footnotes in the episode and barely acknowledged. Again it’s mostly up to the PCs to interact with them but its leaves questions. Like did Dyuna get her money back and owns the Solkin branch of the Otherworld Brewery again? Is Sylus still injured after getting his jaw busted by Shark? Does Sylus hold a grudge against the PCs or does he admit that what he did was in the wrong? Is Dyuna satisfied with Snow staying alive? Etc. 5. It was kinda odd how Snow didn’t have that much of a reaction that the crew have fought gods. She also seems unaware to Norman’s veiled threats, not even fully knowing the season. She also doesn’t really react much when others make their displeasure of her known. She kinda comes across as oblivious in these moments which seems unlike her. 6. It might be a deliberate reaction in-universe but I found Wilhelm’s rant about his backstory disruptive and an overly long gag that dragged down an important scene. It didn’t really add anything and the joke wasn’t really funny to begin with. Humor is subjective but that’s just my opinion and I feel Wilhelm’s player was trying a little too hard to be funny that time and it fell flat. 7. This is more of a personal gripe and you and I have no control over it. But I really wished Cory got on board the ship in the end. He has such potential with his mysterious past and it would be a shame if none of it is explored. Again, not in your control this one but it still stings a bit. Overall, that’s my praises and criticisms of the episode. Not the best episode but not ungodly terrible or anything. Before writing this I would have given this episode a 4/10 but after analyzing it for a week I’ll give it a fair 6/10. Could be better, could be worse. Hope the next arc/saga/volume goes great and smoothly for our heroes. The Council have good things happen to them (except Snow cause she’s evil). And Littlefeather and Cory keep a sharp eye on that egg and Cody survives to see it hatch.
heya! i can adress a couple of your cons to clear things up 1. I wanted her to still hold a sense of arrogance about her, she now knows that despite the party being powerful they have a morality she can exploit. she also understands that if she just gets jobs done and doesn't cause trouble she will be okay. Proving her usefulness is her number 1 priority here. BUT ALSO she got out alive by talking, and i'm sure she thinks she can do that again, she's very likely thinking she outsmarted the group and it's fueling her narcissism. her jibes are just uncontrollable parts of her personality and when she doesn't get push back from it, she isn't going to stop. 2. I found my paper that has snow on the council! so it was on the plan, it might've been mentioned but the final list is those 6 3. that's more on the players than me, and i'm sure it's something that may get to tackle, but had way bigger priorities. i also think ultimately the player characters are not nessaerely good people, shwabadi told me that HE cares about brick, but cody doesn't really for example (honestly he was just some goon of hops to them?, they are more upset they were being blamed for his death) I also think that IMO it's good storytelling to not always have good endings for good people and bad endings for bad people, it shows that the world isn't fair - Snow still having power despite everything is unsatisfactory yes, but i really like it from a character and worldbuilding perspective 4. Similiar to 3, bigger priorities, too many NPCs for me to personally deal with and i don't want to distract away from the player's stories. I'll expand on Dyuna etc in end stories :) ! 5. I don't think she quite understands the scale, but also she understands how powerful the group is so it's more like "eh why not at this point" 6. this is a greene thing 7. yeah, i think people would be dissapointed no matter which character got on the ship haha
@@rustagetwo thank you for replying to me. I hope any criticisms I had did not come across as too harsh to you or anyone else. I felt it was more productive to give a review rather than type “Melt the Snow” which you probably read a thousand times (and likely read a thousand more). Thank you for explaining Snow's mindset and her problems with her ego. Even now I’m sure she grumbles about losing absolute power in private. Especially now since all her peers know the kind of person she truly is. Harder to manipulate those who already distrust/dislike you after all. In a way, it’s kind of karmic. She’s alone now without real friends. And it’s all her fault. Plus she is still on Norman’s eternal Shit List. Plus probably many other people’s shit lists. I also now just realized that Sylus also got off much worse despite still being general. Since despite working for years/decades to become general, he got his ass handed to him in seconds without making much impact and couldn’t even take down a scrawny nerd. That probably wrecked his ego a lot. And I am excited with what you plan to do with a Dyuna story if you choose to write one. Especially because Dyuna has some similarities to Snow but is braver and not nearly as smug or mean-spirited as Snow. And I’ll be sure to watch your sessions live whenever I have a chance to. Whether it be Isekai or Marines. Have an enjoyable day and thank you for replying to me.
Whats hilarious with Snow is that its ok that you guys are keeping her alive just put her in enchanted shackles that prevent her from running away and lying. Aswell as put a Golem guard on her that can cant be swayed but instead you guys are just begging her to become a headache later on lmao.
@Rustage Actually, Marinette was fairly modest. The let them eat back line was a horrific misunderstanding. When she heard her subject where starving she looked at her dinning table to see what she had the most of and it was unfortunately cack
13:48 He’s a thought instead of being the same beer as the otherworldly brewery, Rippa’s brew should use the beer that Pitbull (formerly known as The Shark) made back when they first opened the brewery.
1:21:59; Mastiffs are pretty reliable wardogs, especially when you use sidekick rules from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. They can carry over 100 lbs, they have advantage on all perception checks relying on smell and hearing, decent bite damage, and most importantly can go in caves and dungeons while the horse can't.
Kings Council should be given these jobs Norman - Kings Hand / Secretary of State (The Merlin to this King) Wellington - Master of Coin / Secretary of Treasury (He can fund any project but also knows what not to spend so economy dont crash) Willhem/Shark - Master of Combat / Secretary of War (Its what hes good as and he beat the guy under Snow he held it) Rippa - Master of Law / Secretary of Justice (He been making great judgement for the crew as they are absent 99% of the time but filling him with jobs) Jesus - Hand of God / Secretary of Religion (duh) Snow - Master of Living / Secretary of Interior (Focus on repairing and building up the city)
31:15 Daniel Green already regrets the counsel. I picture Wilhelm Regretting it and being like "We need to take down the counsel" Proceeds to beat himself up.
I had to write down a list for the gods/classes to keep track of which god is activated and which is defeated. Activated: Barbarian, Druid, Fighter, Paladin, Rogue(?), sorcerer, and Warlock Defeated: Bard, Monk, and Wizard Soon to be fought: Cleric. I do not remember what the official answer is for the rogue besides that Sigmund Freud was the rogue.
Shame it was the Marie episode and she didn't say viva la France even once. Also just love the randomness of Anthony swapping out every chance he gets just because, for no reason. The only time it really seemed relevant was when they needed a lawyer, now it just seems for fun.
battle robes he could use or other robe like armors/wizard specific armor there is even barbarian armor i let them use that in my games if it has (class)armor of otay or other armors they can use it
Listen. We have pirates. We ALSO have a very beloved group of pirates that could very easily be added as NPCs into this world. Give us Vestoria's Devil's Luck Pirates. Please.
15:46; please let Norman have Identify as a prepared spell, please let Norman have identify as a prepared spell. Only De Vinchi would know what the magic items do. So if Norman doesn't have Identify as a perpared spell, they won't know what any of the items do until they attune to the items if they need attunement; which is a very bad idea since what they could get could possibly be cursed.
Bingeing this entire series in like two weeks seriously broke me, in sense that since i have all the knowledge it's so annoying every character (especially Greene) flip flops so much in terms of character, and how some story pieces are abandoned (Like the Ring Shark got from dead body of the prince that for some reason made him feel a bit stronger, or mysterious past of Cory) and how some character get done so dirty for so much less while some like Snow get to keep their power and posistion with minimal penalty besides just humiliation, like unfortunetly i don't have any friends to play DnD with so just watching all those series created something really messed up inside that would come out as a character in potential future. Also Black Beard needs to come back for the Final Arc and i want so much to see his reaction to death of Old Tony, like we could see him on the island destination and have him tag to the end, Also i really want for the final four episodes to have updated art for Shark,Cody and Norman as all changed quite a bit in looks.
Cory past stuff has not been forgotten haha, it's a plot point that will develop don't worry Shark ring thing was just a joke I think, it was a confidence ring?? It has been a while I think though Snow getting of lightly is not fair, but that's sorta the point, people don't often get what they deserve - and some of the characters see her value as a statesperson in contrast to Washington to he important
@@rustagetwo 1.Good to hear. 2.It was never said so i didn't know any better, and if it was i was not there because i binged the series in two weeks. 3.I understand her value but it more so that some gotten it way worse for far less, and also there being no justice for Brick, which maybe would happen if norman didn't do a really awkward thing that ruined the mood, and also she really didn't get any penalty besides humiliation to like 7 people, and even after all the things she still is in better posistion than she was before she started it all. I just hope that Briggs won't forget (As often as he does) That norman wants Antron's prophecy to happen.
@KiraiKatsuji 2. Yeah that was part of the joke i think, I usually tell people what magic items do once they wear them, and all it did was make him FEEL stronger hahaha 3. Yeah it's not fair at all lmao, but the player characters don't care about brick as much as the players/audience do. They almost killed brick themselves, to them he's just a goon/son of hops To me it's really interesting how snow has managed to weasel her way out of punishment it's more fun story telling than just "bad person gets punished"
@@KiraiKatsuji Don’t worry. Nobody is gonna forget about Snow and what she did, especially Rustage or Briggs. Best case scenario for her, everybody hates her and she dies alone without friends. Worst case scenario for her, she does something really bad and someone kills her. Brick dying is personally a secondary reason I don’t like her to me. Main reason is her being a smug coward who would threaten a toddler’s life if it would save her hide. But luckily, at least the narrative is not expecting us to just forgive her. That action of threatening Phynn’s life was unforgivable. Hopefully Dyuna or Button or someone else spreads the word that she did that to the general population.
6:13; wait, Cody is from 1984, is Cody a Liberal or a Conservative? And this question matters because if he's a Conservative, it wouldn't matter. Cody is canonically American, an American Conservative in the 1980s wouldn't use protection, even if he knew that there was a way to prevent pregnancy.
I like just barely started the episode but wouldn't it be cool if they name the egg child something to do with feather or have the middle name be feather so that oswald Finn and ____(???) Feather grow up like siblings and then they open up their own brewery called "Fs in the chat" 💀
I have a question is Joey is there a way to resurrect or bring back old tony because I miss old tony and don’t get me wrong I like Anthony but it’s just the switching people thing makes me miss old Tony out of all the player characters I thought the shark be the first to go the shark is my favorite character I had remembered you were all fighting I forgot what episode it was in the shark stayed out of it fighting some guy and he almost died. I thought I was it.
I love how 50% of this party is bored of the characters they created xD P.s. he said 5 boxes Pps snow giving away magic items makes less senes than her being alive
@rustage2 Pre-stream reaction: Oh my gosh! I'm so _ that my question was addressed to the cast! . . . And even _er that it didn't get an actual answer on why you don't record the Tekking-certified gold!😶🌫️
After defeating the gods I imagine everyone, just jumping in the fountain yeah, my question was can someone from the world you’re in I’m with you because Cody is a father now I don’t know if he staying there or taking his egg. I’m curious because dinner but I was thinking snow could come with you I love you all my wow, that might sound weird shut up man don’t make it weird ha ha ha The shark Daniel green is my favorite character, of course and I want a Campaign to end, shark burning, the kingdom to the ground, you know😂 got another question when you go back home do you still get to keep the powers and everything or no Also, is Wellington returning back to the normal world Heming. Jack the ripper and all and you know umm a skeleton. Oh, and Sheabadi I like your pankhi Is it possible to resurrect or bring back old Tony because I miss Old Tony and don’t get me wrong I like Anthony but the whole switching people thing just makes me miss old tony

I just assume it's a ring with the royal insignia
@@potatoman3795 ya but rustage said that it made the shark feel stronger somehow, and we still have no idea what it does. But it’s gotta be magical
@@sageballard6210I forgot about that
I was rewatching the first few episodes and I’m glad that I’m not the only one wondering this now.
@@sageballard6210 oh I didn't remember that
In this episode of Isekai DND:
- Cody gets chick trapped
- The gang follows Big Tonies example and take full control of both the industry and politics
- Rustage turns Jesus into a scallie and gets his players addicted to gacha games
- The gang realises that they should probably upgrade their weapons...49 episodes in
- Wilhelm creates the most powerful not weapon in D&D history
- Tekking and Rustage out themselves as anti French Revolutiom
- Norman showcases his character development by going on a date without being creepy
- Snow thinks she's on the team 😂😂😂
- Wellington tries his damnest to keep the plot going
- The Gang order Rippa to create fantasy NATO
- The gang makes the existence of the council pointless 5 minutes after its formation
- Turns out this was historically accurate George Washington all along
- Syphilis man, makes his comeback
Surprised you wrote nothing about 1:14:30
Snow thinking they accept her is delusional on her part. Norman and Shark are just biding their time. Plus she owes a guy 1000 gold for a ring that left reality.
I love how Daniel Greene decided to prevent himself from min-maxing by min-mining himself. Like he only took the worst possible choices ...
He could have asked if he cannuse the optional rule and change his figthing style to "Unarmed figthing" giving him a d8 on unarmed attacks. He could have used 2 handed weapon fighting and flavor his weapons as brass knuckles ...
But he went with a high str low dex/wisdom figther monk multiclass
Good thing there are no real bad options in 5e, only less optimal ones if this was an older version he would legimately be useless
The Rippa meme will never make me not laugh and the fact that it comes into play in this episode is the thing that made my day.
In this episode's intro, we have:
Daniel Rustage introducing himself.
Cashews.
Confirmation we could have an alien hybrid in the session.
The need for Snow to melt.
The need is real. I could honestly go for some shaved ice right now.
For Marie Antoinette I'm just picturing the fate version and it works perfectly fine to me. Historical innacuracies and all.
My man
Tekking: How much is Jesus worth?
Rustage: Around 30 pieces of silver.
Jeweler tells Athony to take off his armor. He does but then remembers "Oh shit i'm not wearing anything under this." That would be hilarious.
I hope with all my heart somewhere on Anthony's wheel is old Tony as an option I think having him replace Anthony but a version from History before he was originally issekai so he would have no idea what was happening all over again and I think the role play dynamic from all the characters would be really fun
That would be a really interesting RP moment for the Pitbull. He pretended not to care, grieved hard, then admitted a deep love for Old Tony.
My wife made me promise to post this in the next episode.
Briggs sounds like Jimmy Pesto Jr. From Bobs Burgers. Im sorry if you cannot unhear that after this.
Wellington: just go to the fricking tower already I want to finally rest
8:04 I’m a buff baby that can dance like a man
I’mma shaking my fanny I’mma shaking my can
It's impressive how capable Daniel is at yapping, and how chaotic The Shark as a character is.
the blacksmith only liked the loin when he thought it was a real lion LOL
fun fact: steven was the first christian, and from what my fastor says, he's the only one jesus stood from his right-hand throne for when he was being stoned. he was also a deacon.
am i the only one who thinks it would be so funny if a girl joined isekai dnd bc that would be just complete chaos
Sif or truck-chan are both equally hilarious options for me
It would be a long shot, but god I think Melonteee being on one of these would be hilarious. It’d be so funny watching her try to keep up with the chaos.
or maybe even (if they get lucky) ironmouse or jaiden
Thanks as always for putting it here! You guys never miss 🎉🎉🎉
THE TITLE, I’m dead. Can’t wait for the cleric tower fight! ❤❤
Norman Needs to make a choice between Sir. Button and the Talor lady
I hope we see Tailor Lady more too. She seemed nice. Hope she finds success.
All Rustage D&D campaigns eventually becomes a One Piece story, it's only a matter of time
i almost thought i had missed an episode because i had no idea who the guy on the thumbnail was, then i remembered that this episode had only new minor characters and the captain guys for next episode
Even if it was only for a little bit, I have been hoping for Anthony to turn into Marie Antoinette ever since Tekking first said it was possible. It did not disappoint.
i think this is the best video name yet, right under pissman karate.
We milk at dawn is also amazing
I understand that Cody is the voice of reason and that he's kind of the leader of the group but, I just don't think that he should have had a say in who's on the council last episode. Cody has shown throughout the series that while he does care about little feather his main goal is to get back home and that is his main focus. He doesn't really care about what happens in Vestoria. If it wasn't for the fact that Snow controlled the fountain that they needed to get home Cody would have been fine with leaving her in charge of things and just going home. I know that he decided not to be apart of the council but, I think he shouldn't have had a say in who was apart of the council at all.
I had actually fooled myself into thinking there might be a tender moment between Cody and Little Feather
i thought there was a bit!!
@rustagetwo it's true there is a bit of one there at the beginning and another at the end... I was hopeful for more though.. but that probably just my sappy side showing
The shopping episodes are always the best though, aren’t they?
51:26 this is a common misconception. she was honestly not a very bad person at all, just out of touch. she didnt even speak french, and was basically just a trophy wife who was bored out of her mind.
Little Feather’s Brother is gonna kill Cody, when he last saw his sister she was still a virgin, and not a murderer 😂😂😂
The woman was a murderer. If Norman didn't start to pull that incel shit I would have lost no sleep at seeing her blown away. He just made it too weird.
What incel?
I don’t feel like it was “incel shit” I think Norman was just genuinely very mad and wanted as much revenge as he could possibly fit for snow killing Brick trying to kill the party tricking him and Washington and yehelovich and all that other stuff. Norman has said many times he has no interest in snow after him finding out about her true nature so this isn’t some sort of “if I can’t have you no one can” incel action it’s a “you’re a pain in my rear end and you caused me and a lot of other people alot of suffering”
Sorry for the long comment and I don’t usually write episode reviews or anything but I felt the need to do it for this one since it helps me process the episode better. Especially an episode like this which gives me somewhat mixed feelings. So here are 14 pros and 7 cons of episode 49 of Isekai dnd. Some might be more nit-picky than others but I hope I wasn’t at all mean or anything.
**Pros**
1. I am perfectly fine with the episode being about preparations and general management. It’s a smart thing for the party to focus on and every campaign needs breather episodes.
2. The party got their Brewery back. Since you didn’t mention anything about Snow keeping some of it, I assume they got it all back from her. It won’t be a secret that I like it when things don’t go Snow’s way. I’m pretty sure you want her to be disliked so I don’t feel guilty saying that I don’t like her.
3. I like the inner conflict of Cody now being a father. It was established in episode 29 that most Solkin thought hybrids with humans were impossible but Pulmo proved otherwise. It makes sense that other hybrid races can exist in this world.
4. Though I imagine it’s frustrating to some other watchers, I understand why the magical armory is now pretty much emptied out. Though it is easy to just blame Snow (who I admit I greatly dislike) for the lack of cool new gear, she did give a perfectly valid reason why the magic items are gone now. And there is even an option thanks to her sales book to try to buy some gear from anyone willing if need be for the future.
5. Wilhelm/Pitbull/Shark’s new “improvised weapon” is pretty cool. A double side bat staff with two bible-like cutting ends. Realistically completely impractical for anyone else to use but it’s an improvised weapon and he can use them. Plus I think since it can deal slashing damage (if I recall), the oil of sharpness can buff it if truly needed.
6. I liked Norman’s interaction with the tailor lady with no name (so far). She seems like a nice woman and I hope she finds success in Douglas’s former business. His civility and kindness to her gives me hope that Norman is not just some incel, he just hates Snow (and no one can blame him). He even paid her when she insisted the robe was free. I hope we see her again.
7. Anthony with the jeweler was pretty funny. Trying to bargain for his magic ring. But failing that, he switches with Marie Antoinette and has Norman buy an expensive ring at Snow’s expense. Always good to Melt the Snow a bit in a nonviolent manner.
8. It was cool for Cody to get custom +1 metal claws for his beast form. Really makes up for just getting a one-use sharpening oil. Plus the idea of a lion with metal claws is a great visual.
9. I like how even in the Council, you seemed to have made a point to have most if not all of the Council dislike Snow. Showing that even though she is technically part of the circle of allies (for now), the cast have not at all forgiven her. Norman, Wilhelm, Wellington and Rippa made it clear.
10. I respect that even though Wellington is reluctant to use his infinite money (for valid reasons), he does use it for reconstruction.
11. It’s great to see the party prepare for the gods being summoned by planning to round up allies. Whether it be Hullgards, Mushlings, Gnoblins, Frozen, Firenewts etc.
12. It’s good to see George Washington own up to being dumb and a bad judge of character. He may have been partially to blame for Snow taking over but he never told her to be an asshole to the crew. That is her fault and her fault only.
13. BLACKBEARD! Hope to see his cutthroat crew next time as well.
14. Interesting design for Captain Kern. Him being a Hullgard is great. Always good to see more of them.
**Cons**
1. Something I noticed is that Snow doesn’t really act like these guys threatened to kill her less than a day or so ago. She seems to act as her usual self when speaking to them. It may be a facade she’s trying to put on, but I thought that she’d be at least a little bit wary when talking to those who can hurt/kill her easily and already heavily dislike her. Especially Norman. She just doesn’t act as of she’s been humbled and/or traumatized last night and is still mostly on her arrogant high horse. Even calling the party’s mission a “silly adventure”. It’s like she hasn’t learned anything from what happened last arc, which might be deliberate on your part.
2. I could have sworn that last episode they mentioned they wanted an odd number for the Council with Snow as just advisor with no voting power. I might have misheard/misunderstood but Snow being a council member is kinda…frustrating after everything she did. Especially since Boudicca did much less bad stuff and is dead. But I imagine that you understand that already.
3. I didn’t really like that what happened in episodes 47 and 48 is barely acknowledged in my opinion. Like Brick’s death or Snow threatening to have Phynn killed in order to save her own skin. Unlike Douglas who got his proper comeuppance, it’s almost like nothing even really happened to Snow or Sylus with how little acknowledgement of it there is this episode. It’s sort of the elephant in the room. I know it’s ultimately the PCs choice to determine what happens to them, but it feels like they both avoided much of the bad karma despite both being morally worse than Douglas. It just leaves a poor taste in my mouth that two assholes still have so much power.
4. I didn’t like how Dyuna and Sylus were footnotes in the episode and barely acknowledged. Again it’s mostly up to the PCs to interact with them but its leaves questions. Like did Dyuna get her money back and owns the Solkin branch of the Otherworld Brewery again? Is Sylus still injured after getting his jaw busted by Shark? Does Sylus hold a grudge against the PCs or does he admit that what he did was in the wrong? Is Dyuna satisfied with Snow staying alive? Etc.
5. It was kinda odd how Snow didn’t have that much of a reaction that the crew have fought gods. She also seems unaware to Norman’s veiled threats, not even fully knowing the season. She also doesn’t really react much when others make their displeasure of her known. She kinda comes across as oblivious in these moments which seems unlike her.
6. It might be a deliberate reaction in-universe but I found Wilhelm’s rant about his backstory disruptive and an overly long gag that dragged down an important scene. It didn’t really add anything and the joke wasn’t really funny to begin with. Humor is subjective but that’s just my opinion and I feel Wilhelm’s player was trying a little too hard to be funny that time and it fell flat.
7. This is more of a personal gripe and you and I have no control over it. But I really wished Cory got on board the ship in the end. He has such potential with his mysterious past and it would be a shame if none of it is explored. Again, not in your control this one but it still stings a bit.
Overall, that’s my praises and criticisms of the episode. Not the best episode but not ungodly terrible or anything. Before writing this I would have given this episode a 4/10 but after analyzing it for a week I’ll give it a fair 6/10. Could be better, could be worse.
Hope the next arc/saga/volume goes great and smoothly for our heroes. The Council have good things happen to them (except Snow cause she’s evil). And Littlefeather and Cory keep a sharp eye on that egg and Cody survives to see it hatch.
heya! i can adress a couple of your cons to clear things up
1. I wanted her to still hold a sense of arrogance about her, she now knows that despite the party being powerful they have a morality she can exploit. she also understands that if she just gets jobs done and doesn't cause trouble she will be okay. Proving her usefulness is her number 1 priority here. BUT ALSO she got out alive by talking, and i'm sure she thinks she can do that again, she's very likely thinking she outsmarted the group and it's fueling her narcissism. her jibes are just uncontrollable parts of her personality and when she doesn't get push back from it, she isn't going to stop.
2. I found my paper that has snow on the council! so it was on the plan, it might've been mentioned but the final list is those 6
3. that's more on the players than me, and i'm sure it's something that may get to tackle, but had way bigger priorities. i also think ultimately the player characters are not nessaerely good people, shwabadi told me that HE cares about brick, but cody doesn't really for example (honestly he was just some goon of hops to them?, they are more upset they were being blamed for his death) I also think that IMO it's good storytelling to not always have good endings for good people and bad endings for bad people, it shows that the world isn't fair - Snow still having power despite everything is unsatisfactory yes, but i really like it from a character and worldbuilding perspective
4. Similiar to 3, bigger priorities, too many NPCs for me to personally deal with and i don't want to distract away from the player's stories. I'll expand on Dyuna etc in end stories :) !
5. I don't think she quite understands the scale, but also she understands how powerful the group is so it's more like "eh why not at this point"
6. this is a greene thing
7. yeah, i think people would be dissapointed no matter which character got on the ship haha
@@rustagetwo thank you for replying to me. I hope any criticisms I had did not come across as too harsh to you or anyone else. I felt it was more productive to give a review rather than type “Melt the Snow” which you probably read a thousand times (and likely read a thousand more).
Thank you for explaining Snow's mindset and her problems with her ego. Even now I’m sure she grumbles about losing absolute power in private. Especially now since all her peers know the kind of person she truly is. Harder to manipulate those who already distrust/dislike you after all. In a way, it’s kind of karmic. She’s alone now without real friends. And it’s all her fault. Plus she is still on Norman’s eternal Shit List. Plus probably many other people’s shit lists.
I also now just realized that Sylus also got off much worse despite still being general. Since despite working for years/decades to become general, he got his ass handed to him in seconds without making much impact and couldn’t even take down a scrawny nerd. That probably wrecked his ego a lot.
And I am excited with what you plan to do with a Dyuna story if you choose to write one. Especially because Dyuna has some similarities to Snow but is braver and not nearly as smug or mean-spirited as Snow.
And I’ll be sure to watch your sessions live whenever I have a chance to. Whether it be Isekai or Marines. Have an enjoyable day and thank you for replying to me.
Whats hilarious with Snow is that its ok that you guys are keeping her alive just put her in enchanted shackles that prevent her from running away and lying. Aswell as put a Golem guard on her that can cant be swayed but instead you guys are just begging her to become a headache later on lmao.
@Rustage Actually, Marinette was fairly modest. The let them eat back line was a horrific misunderstanding. When she heard her subject where starving she looked at her dinning table to see what she had the most of and it was unfortunately cack
5:33 Ah yes My favourite spell Fetus Deletus
13:48 He’s a thought instead of being the same beer as the otherworldly brewery, Rippa’s brew should use the beer that Pitbull (formerly known as The Shark) made back when they first opened the brewery.
But upgraded through all the adventures
Welp guys, the title says it all
1:32:02 Willhem was giving me Gilgamesh vibes here
1:21:59; Mastiffs are pretty reliable wardogs, especially when you use sidekick rules from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. They can carry over 100 lbs, they have advantage on all perception checks relying on smell and hearing, decent bite damage, and most importantly can go in caves and dungeons while the horse can't.
Kings Council should be given these jobs
Norman - Kings Hand / Secretary of State (The Merlin to this King)
Wellington - Master of Coin / Secretary of Treasury (He can fund any project but also knows what not to spend so economy dont crash)
Willhem/Shark - Master of Combat / Secretary of War (Its what hes good as and he beat the guy under Snow he held it)
Rippa - Master of Law / Secretary of Justice (He been making great judgement for the crew as they are absent 99% of the time but filling him with jobs)
Jesus - Hand of God / Secretary of Religion (duh)
Snow - Master of Living / Secretary of Interior (Focus on repairing and building up the city)
31:15 Daniel Green already regrets the counsel. I picture Wilhelm Regretting it and being like "We need to take down the counsel" Proceeds to beat himself up.
I had to write down a list for the gods/classes to keep track of which god is activated and which is defeated.
Activated: Barbarian, Druid, Fighter, Paladin, Rogue(?), sorcerer, and Warlock
Defeated: Bard, Monk, and Wizard
Soon to be fought: Cleric.
I do not remember what the official answer is for the rogue besides that Sigmund Freud was the rogue.
The Rogue tower has been activated. Just cleric left.
@@patmcg7960 thanks, I couldn’t remember if it was activated or if the god got knocked out cold/killed.
If the well thing is just a wish, why doesn't Cody just wish for his mother to come to that world. If it isn't a wish, then just ignore this
On my binge catching up, and I miss Yog i hope they cure his curse
Thumbnail should have been Egg!!!
32:46; this is D&D5E, Cody is not allowed to wear Half-Plate. Half-Plate is made of metal, metal armor prevents druids from casting their spells.
I mean, it was, technically, canon! That's Jack the damn Reaper after all...
Shame it was the Marie episode and she didn't say viva la France even once. Also just love the randomness of Anthony swapping out every chance he gets just because, for no reason. The only time it really seemed relevant was when they needed a lawyer, now it just seems for fun.
I justify it as him having a way out for a day to go back without the misssion being done so he just uses it when he can
oh yes cody found that special lotion oil, I'm sure that will come in handy
We thought Norman was a incel but he just needed a cute girl that wasn’t using him to go back to his simping days
battle robes he could use or other robe like armors/wizard specific armor there is even barbarian armor i let them use that in my games if it has (class)armor of otay or other armors they can use it
Gotta love the dm, random jimmy XD
1:18:56 Cody has got some inverted LTG energy going on.
Tbh there is no better title for this episode
For once I actually got here before the next episode was uploaded! Can't wait for the shopping episode.
that jack the ripper joke was amazing hahaha
Amazing artwork! 🔥🔥🔥
Snow’s gonna think she’s good now for the rest of the campaign…until it’s done and she’s not 😈
~_~
Ah yes The 49th Episode of Isekai D&D Featuring
'Tekkng101'
I wish Rustage kept in the part where he uses the bad random generator website that was incredibly seeing him run off for the ancient texts
I absolutely ship Norman and the tailor lady, hope to see her more in the future
I heard island and thought "BLACKBEARD!!" please bring him back
40:30; best aromr for wizards are the robes of the Archimage. sadly, it's a magic item.
norman "I dont think red and green go well together" he said about 2 complimentary colors (color theory art stuff)
As a french fan, this episode was outrageous.
But nice work anyway, as always.
Episode 10 I've decided not to put Jesus in this campaign 8 episodes later hey bro I'm jesus
Listen. We have pirates. We ALSO have a very beloved group of pirates that could very easily be added as NPCs into this world.
Give us Vestoria's Devil's Luck Pirates. Please.
15:46; please let Norman have Identify as a prepared spell, please let Norman have identify as a prepared spell. Only De Vinchi would know what the magic items do. So if Norman doesn't have Identify as a perpared spell, they won't know what any of the items do until they attune to the items if they need attunement; which is a very bad idea since what they could get could possibly be cursed.
More of the boys being silly!
I'm currently watching the pre-stream, and I Believe In Tekking, just like Shwa-Bad-I
Marie mf Antoinette
Was not expecting her to appear haha
My reality has been shattered. As a spotify listener, I thought norman's va was like a 18 19 year old nerdy little boy with glasses
Bingeing this entire series in like two weeks seriously broke me, in sense that since i have all the knowledge it's so annoying every character (especially Greene) flip flops so much in terms of character, and how some story pieces are abandoned (Like the Ring Shark got from dead body of the prince that for some reason made him feel a bit stronger, or mysterious past of Cory) and how some character get done so dirty for so much less while some like Snow get to keep their power and posistion with minimal penalty besides just humiliation, like unfortunetly i don't have any friends to play DnD with so just watching all those series created something really messed up inside that would come out as a character in potential future.
Also Black Beard needs to come back for the Final Arc and i want so much to see his reaction to death of Old Tony, like we could see him on the island destination and have him tag to the end, Also i really want for the final four episodes to have updated art for Shark,Cody and Norman as all changed quite a bit in looks.
Cory past stuff has not been forgotten haha, it's a plot point that will develop don't worry
Shark ring thing was just a joke I think, it was a confidence ring?? It has been a while I think though
Snow getting of lightly is not fair, but that's sorta the point, people don't often get what they deserve - and some of the characters see her value as a statesperson in contrast to Washington to he important
@@rustagetwo 1.Good to hear.
2.It was never said so i didn't know any better, and if it was i was not there because i binged the series in two weeks.
3.I understand her value but it more so that some gotten it way worse for far less, and also there being no justice for Brick, which maybe would happen if norman didn't do a really awkward thing that ruined the mood, and also she really didn't get any penalty besides humiliation to like 7 people, and even after all the things she still is in better posistion than she was before she started it all. I just hope that Briggs won't forget (As often as he does) That norman wants Antron's prophecy to happen.
@KiraiKatsuji 2. Yeah that was part of the joke i think, I usually tell people what magic items do once they wear them, and all it did was make him FEEL stronger hahaha
3.
Yeah it's not fair at all lmao, but the player characters don't care about brick as much as the players/audience do. They almost killed brick themselves, to them he's just a goon/son of hops
To me it's really interesting how snow has managed to weasel her way out of punishment it's more fun story telling than just "bad person gets punished"
@@rustagetwo Like it's your story and i agree from the story writing perspective, but as a consumer it annoys me to no end, have a nice day and peace.
@@KiraiKatsuji Don’t worry. Nobody is gonna forget about Snow and what she did, especially Rustage or Briggs. Best case scenario for her, everybody hates her and she dies alone without friends. Worst case scenario for her, she does something really bad and someone kills her.
Brick dying is personally a secondary reason I don’t like her to me. Main reason is her being a smug coward who would threaten a toddler’s life if it would save her hide. But luckily, at least the narrative is not expecting us to just forgive her.
That action of threatening Phynn’s life was unforgivable. Hopefully Dyuna or Button or someone else spreads the word that she did that to the general population.
Mostsly just shopping 😂 im dead
7:59 got it, Finn is Giorno!
6:13; wait, Cody is from 1984, is Cody a Liberal or a Conservative? And this question matters because if he's a Conservative, it wouldn't matter. Cody is canonically American, an American Conservative in the 1980s wouldn't use protection, even if he knew that there was a way to prevent pregnancy.
1:14:27
1:14:38
Zane did not cut that out
how much is jesus? ah about 30 pieces of silver
DOESNT CODY HAVE A GF IN THE REAL WORLD????
DID HE CHEAT ON HER WITH LITTLE FEATHER????
This holgard has to wear eyeglasses it would be funny 😂
I like just barely started the episode but wouldn't it be cool if they name the egg child something to do with feather or have the middle name be feather so that oswald Finn and ____(???) Feather grow up like siblings and then they open up their own brewery called "Fs in the chat" 💀
I have a question is Joey is there a way to resurrect or bring back old tony because I miss old tony and don’t get me wrong I like Anthony but it’s just the switching people thing makes me miss old Tony out of all the player characters I thought the shark be the first to go the shark is my favorite character I had remembered you were all fighting I forgot what episode it was in the shark stayed out of it fighting some guy and he almost died. I thought I was it.
I love how 50% of this party is bored of the characters they created xD P.s. he said 5 boxes Pps snow giving away magic items makes less senes than her being alive
BLACKBEARD IS BAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKK
Norman got a date hell yes
I think this was said before but let's say norman kills george washington could he use his necklace
Might be ep 4 just started re watching
Yoooo! I was just about to eat luuunch, letsgooo!
@rustage2 Pre-stream reaction: Oh my gosh! I'm so _ that my question was addressed to the cast!
. . .
And even _er that it didn't get an actual answer on why you don't record the Tekking-certified gold!😶🌫️
Lets goooooo!
Accurate episode name

Fried eggs are delicious... youre welcome
What’s Julag doing rn?
After defeating the gods I imagine everyone, just jumping in the fountain yeah, my question was can someone from the world you’re in I’m with you because Cody is a father now I don’t know if he staying there or taking his egg. I’m curious because dinner but I was thinking snow could come with you I love you all my wow, that might sound weird shut up man don’t make it weird ha ha ha The shark Daniel green is my favorite character, of course and I want a Campaign to end, shark burning, the kingdom to the ground, you know😂 got another question when you go back home do you still get to keep the powers and everything or no Also, is Wellington returning back to the normal world Heming. Jack the ripper and all and you know umm a skeleton. Oh, and Sheabadi I like your pankhi Is it possible to resurrect or bring back old Tony because I miss Old Tony and don’t get me wrong I like Anthony but the whole switching people thing just makes me miss old tony
Let's go!!!
Gotta watch the last one but I had to leave my mark.
First time I've been early to an episode!
I don't know how but isekai D&D gets dumber every episode but in a fun way
Gambling ain't that bad
I would love to see a Naruto5e campaign aftet this... Would truly be a dream comr true
Whos the middle guy?
"The DM"
It’s my B day today and this is a perfect present 🎉🎉
