YouTube SBS Volume 1

This a collection of all of the questions and answers for the first YouTube SBS, and the full SBS is right here!

For this SBS, Tekking101, Briggs, and Rustage answered many questions from the viewers!

* Note: This list doesn't include all of the comments made, just the most notable and/or relevant ones and the SBS was made before the start of Episode 18.

Question 1: Tekking and Rustage, I have two questions. One, how is Ragnar's family doing?
R: Since the Crew's been gone for about a week and with Magnus being as talented as he is, I'd say they already built a relatively decent town.

B: I was so happy with this idea, cause I was thinking how can I leave with the boys, but not complete abandon my family. But Rustage, it's up to you to blow our minds once we come back there.

R: You'll see, I already have ideas and I rolled for a lot of them.

Question 2: Since William is a rouge-like character, can he cheat at his own Devil Fruit as he would an actual roulette?
- P.N. Bronson Rasmussen

T: I think we've kinda sorta done that already, with the rerolling in the Clown video.

R: No, you didn't reroll, you just used the Devil Fruit power again. This also kinda relates to William's Devil Fruit awakening, where I want to make it more powerful in other ways because the crux of the Fruit is randomness. I don't William to be able to chose what type of fruit it will be, to shorten the range. I would want something where you roll and you store it. Maybe combining them, maybe?

T: Yeah, after the episode ended where I got the fruit, I asked you could I use it as a shield, not a magic shield, jut an shield and you were like "no".

R: Yeah we only came up with the roulette wheel as a visual.

Question 3: Would the Crew have heard of some of the most famous names in the world, like Whitebeard?
- P.N. Community As A Whole

R: Maybe, probably depending on your past. William would've, but Ragnar doesn't read the paper so he wouldn't of. I think Verona and William are the most educated of the Crew. Pearl doesn't know anything because she was sheltered, Gravy probably knows a decent amount, Louis knew everything about thirty years ago. But on the topic of canon characters, most are too young right now and the ones who aren't like the Yonko are too powerful right now that they won't meet them.

T: Yeah Whitebeard is so strong at this point one blast of Conquerors would knock us all out instantly.

R: Speaking of power scaling, the Crew is about as strong as the Straw Hats post Enies Lobby.

==== '''Question 4: Ragnar wants to be the strongest man in the world correct? To accomplish this goal would he not have to face Whitebeard because Whitebeard is known as the strongest man in the world?''' ==== - P.N. KageUnlimited

B: Yes that's correct that he wants to be the strongest, but I don't think Rustage will have us fight any characters from the series. However, in our own DnD, If I were to take on an Admiral and win, it's just a plot thing I want to say because my wife and kid were taken from me because I wasn't strong enough to get them back. If I want to protect the people I care about, I'd want to be the strongest in the world.

R: But yeah if they do something crazy like kill Big Mom, they kill Big Mom and it's just a different timeline

Question 5: Question for Rustage, how are the characters designed, are there any sketches that didn't end up in the thumbnails?
- P.N. Red

R: So I design all of the characters and I take various inspirations from different things and I normally draw them in MS Paint. But importantly I make a Pinterest board where I put the inspirations together, then I send it to Kaerru, Connor and I say I want a hat like this and instead of this he should have this and their skin should look like this. And he's incredible because he can take what's in my head and put it exactly how I want it to look out. Like Atom I drew Atom in a ramen shop. Also Chuck, Jasper, and the Arbor Man never got drawn.

Question 6: Will the Devil's Luck Pirates come across the Sea Tyrant Barry D. Brick?
- P.N. Bo

T: Maybe I don't know, possibly

Question 7: Could Ragnar beat Garp in a woodcutting contest?
- P.N. Bo

B: I though you were gonna say a fight and I'm like absolutely not. Honestly I think so, because it's like asking could Garp outbuild a bridge against Franky. If anything Chuck would have the best chance, even then I don't know.

Question 8: Will you guys be uploading a campaign setting guide when this is done alla Critical Role?
- P.N. Cloudy Days

R: No, I don't think people understand that's it's just 5th Edition, I took out the magic. That's it. The Devil Fruits are just magic items that just get stronger. Imagine a Devil Fruit as a magic sword that spews fire that gets stronger over time. A lot of them are just flavor, like a lighting and fire logia, balance wise they'd do the same damage and maybe some slightly different stuff.

Question 9: What is the meito rank for Duros' sword and Ragnar's axe?
- P.N. Rays555

T: I think we already decided that Duros' was a Wazomono, because Oda never gave out a number for them.

R: And Ragnar's axe isn't that much better than a normal axe, it just does double damage against wood and that's very unlikely to ever come up again.

Question 10: In the previous episode [Episode 16] William used Rokushiki, can he still use that?
- P.N. Rays555

R: No, all I'm doing is giving characters little hints about future abilities. Like Ragnar using a little Armament and William used his vast knowledge was able to do it. Cause you will get them later down the levels, it'd be weird if you could just suddenly do abilities. Conquerors works well for Duros and Observation for Verona, Geppo, CP9 stuff for William.

Question 11: Who will teach the Crew haki?
- P.N. Rays555

R: I can't answer that but I can give hints. You could learn it yourself by fighting opponents who have it, but also some stronger characters who you're on friendly terms with could also teach you.

T: I just walk up to Trevor and say "hey can you teach me?"

R: I mean you know Boss can Geppo, so if you save Boss he could teach you that. And you've seen Trevor use Armament so there's two options.

Question 12: If Cyril joined the Crew could Louis reverse time so he could get his hand back?
- P.N. Rays555

R: No, Louis Le'Cloque can only do it if it's from the last few minutes.

Question 13: What is Pearl's class? Is she a Fighter or a Monk?
- P.N. Rays555

R: NPC's don't have classes, just have abilities and a d10 hit die. And if they're important they won't die instantly, they'll have death saves, same with their proficiency modifier, but in terms of class abilities they don't have any. The closest would be a Fighter, but breathing fire could be a Dragonborn ability.

Question 14: Can the Devil's Luck Pirates have other races on the Crew like mermen, Minks, or Dwarves?
- P.N. Rays555

R: There's nothing stopping them. Gotta get those body parts from somewhere.

T: Yeah it's more common to see them in the Grand Line than in the South Blue.

Question 15: DnD question, will you guys ever have other YouTubers as guests for bosses?
- P.N. Anthony

T: There's one in particular that everybody wants...

R: I was ranting about this the other day and I wish I could announce to everyone that I don't think Nux will ever be on One Piece DnD. He's just too busy. And he also doesn't know how to play, it's too complicated and I just don't see it. Also four players is my ideal number. It's unlikely, but maybe, there's no plans for it.

Question 16: What do you do to pass the time when waiting for your turn? Do you guys have a game of Uno in the background while someone is taking their turn?
- P.N. Xof

T: You have to be very aware of what everyone else is doing and what I have to do, like this is what I'll do. Wait what did Duros just do? Crap! You have to think parallel.

R: I hope what you're doing is listening to what other people are doing and enjoying it. But I think the best thing to do is plan for what you're going to do for your next move because that makes the whole thing run smoother.

B: Yeah I imagine most of the time we're paying attention to what other people are doing. Although sometimes I'll be trolling in the Twitch chat.

Question 17: Any thoughts about revisiting the DnD series afterwards to make an animated series?
- P.N. Titan Fisted Tristan

T: That'd be awesome, but I don't have those skills, I don't think you guys have those skills

R: I think the only possibility is some sort of manga. Animated series is basically impossible and Critical Role didn't have one until they raised like ten million dollars.

B: Who knows a company could reach out to you if this get really big.

T: Studio Madhouse approaches you

R: Well One Piece isn't our property

T: Oda watches it and says "Okay this needs to be!'

Question 18: Not so serous question, could there be an alcohol fruit?
- P.N. Titan Fisted Tristan

R: Any fruit is possible, also I won't release the list and I use a spreadsheet. I also have all canon and noncanon fruits.

B: Didn't Ragnar eat that?

Question 19: If it came down to it can Pearl eat a living person?
- P.N. Whalen Thompson

T: HAHAHAHAHAHHA!

R: I mean anyone can. She probably would've eaten one of you guys in Episode 3.

Question 20: What happens when we die?
- P.N. Briggs

R: You make a new character, so Briggs you would have to make anew character and introduce them.

B: I know that if I was the only one to die I would become Magnus, he'd carry on Ragnar's legacy.

R: If you all or most of you died, I think I'd just end it. But it depends on who dies. But also some scaling, if I was to scale the Yonko they'd be like level 18

Question 21: Who can drink the most alcohol in the Devil's Luck Pirates?
- P.N. Broke Student In School

R: Ragnar, Pearl, Gravy, Duros, William, Louis, Verona.

Question 22: What were the inspirations for the characters William and Ragnar?
- P.N. JacobFoxFire964

T: At first I didn't put too much depth into William, there was a backstory and stuff, but he'll be a pirate, I'll be a Swashbuckling Rogue. I'll have a hat, gun, and cutlass like a pirate. At first compared to everyone else I felt kinda out of place but it works.

B: Well Ragnar lost an eye, and I said that I lost it in a barfight but thinking about it that might've been a lie and something else happened that I don't want to talk about. It's funny and sad that Ragnar is kinda an over the top version of me, I love my sleep, beer is one of my favorite things, and I don't observe everything. Looking at them, barbarians appealed to me, especially being stronger without armor.

Question 23: While we're at it, how did your characters meet one another?
- P.N. JacobFoxFire964

T: My headcanon is that there was a pirate crew that already existed we all stowed away in the cargo hold at different times, met, then wrecked.

R: Well before the wrecked I wanted to make it so that you knew each other from the beginning. Yeah you guys were already at sea for a year or two when you wrecked.

T: So this is our second go at this, we have the four main members now we need to build it up again.

R: Well a common thread for everyone beside William is that they were all betrayed by the Marines.

Question 24: Does Willian carry on the Will of Rick, your best friend who died in that fateful shipwreck?
- P.N. Herald Healer

T: Well Rick and me were close friends, so yeah I'll carry on his will. He was a cabin boy or deckhand or something. The will is to not die a horrible death like he did.

B: Rick was like a son to me. Kinda reminds me of Cyril.

Question 25: Briggs how are you liking your first game of DnD? What do you think of the mechanics of playing a barbarian?
- P.N. Herald Healer

B: It is so much fun, I wasn't sure what I was getting into and I thought it would be fun, but I didn't think it'd be this much fun. But being in front of a live audience helps. It's not the easiest to get into, but if you push through anyone can get into it.

Question 26: If Ragnar lives long enough to retire, will he build a carpentry gym for strong carpenters on the Sabaody Archipelago like Silvers Rayleigh?
- P.N. Herald Healer

B: Yes, if we live that long, which I doubt.
