One Piece D&D Marines by Rustage PCs First Impressions
Halfway into the first episode, please don't spoil anything past that point.
Very glad that the same players are returning.
I'm glad we're getting to see Tekking as a "good guy" again. I loved William but preferred Old Tony by quite a bit and Kai seems to be a way to have William's impulsiveness but with clearer morals. It also sounds like he has a bad history with Devil Fruits which'll be a fun contrast to Tekking having ALL OF THEM last campaign. Also, there has to be more to Belle the crab. I reckon he'll probably pick Beast Master as the subclass but they seem to be using an improved Ranger so he won't be terrible.
Briggs tried both ends of the intellectual spectrum and found the one he likes and I respect that. Very cool to see a fishman PC and I love how he's a stingray. He's also a Rogue but massive at the same time (at least in the art) which could be interesting. I can imagine a scene of him soiling a Stealth check and having an NPC be like "we can obviously see the six foot fish person." I'm also pretty sure Bradley mentioned his sister which is likely his main motivation. What is it with Briggs and saving family members? I genuinely have no clue what subclass he'd pick, and I get the feeling he'll multiclass into Fighter decently early on.
2Spooky's playing another mysterious character. Yokan's probably the one I have the least to say about now but I know Spooky liked to play the long game with Verona so I can see him doing it again. She'll probably have a huge, important backstory but it would also be funny if she was just a regular person who joined the marines for fun. As someone DMing for a Monk currently, and having seen how Rustage plays Chip, I know how broken Yokan will quickly become. I reckon Way of the Open Hand for the subclass.
Again, I'm only halfway into the first episode (which isn't even out on YouTube yet) and Damian's already my favourite. I love how he just looks like Larry from Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, I love his voice, I love how he seems to be powered by sugar, I love how everyone's already figured out that he's a robot and he pretends to not know what that means, I love how he's socially awkward but not in a cute way, I love how he's an Artificer which is the best class and you can fight me on that. Duros was my favourite last time and I can see Noble winning the title of favourite PC yet again. My prediction for the subclass is Armourer.
Of all of them, Yokan seems the most likely to get a Devil Fruit and if she does it's only a matter of time before one of Rustage's bosses gets shredded by Devil Fruit and Ki-powered strikes. I'd love to see Noble finally get a Fruit but since he's already a magic class and a robot (I don't think robots can eat Devil Fruits. Correct me if I'm wrong), I doubt it. Kai seems like he'll avoid them like the plague which actually makes me want to see him get a Devil Fruit by accident and not realise it. Like, maybe someone tricks him into eating one and he only realises once he's in water or something like that and he has to come to terms with it. I could also see Bradley getting a Devil Fruit too. I want at least one of them to just get a *bad* fruit. Bear, Roulette, and Animation were too powerful, I want to see someone get a Snail Zoan.

One Piece D&D Marines Ep2 Misc Thoughts
I love just imagining all the disgusting ways Yokan moves.
I am willing to bet money that Quackington will be a weirdly important character going forward.
Taiga is still the worst and I still love him. Best backstory of any character.
No other character would almost die from blurting out "Women!"
Part of me wishes he actually died there because that moment would go down in history
I got your Kipper the dog joke, Rustage, don't worry
William was so terrible at being a rogue that every time Bradley succeeds in any Stealth check that they have to point out how much better he is
Noble loves to give these giant descriptions of Damian charging up and then casting the most basic spell
First death save of the campaign was hardly a success
Kai is a great example of how you play a cowardly character well
Every NPC has a tragic dead family member this episode
