Jean-Luc Robespierre
A drow tailor and owner of Robespierre's, a clothing store in Payola. He believes in the boundless potential of fashion and sells the party their clothes needed to attend The Power Ball. Common is not his first language, as exemplified by his outrageously French accent.
The party comes to him and he gladly tailors their outfits, working with incredible efficiency with his assistant goblins Bidet and Merde. He even agrees to give them out for free if they wear them with pride and embody what the outfits represent. While cooperative and friendly with most of the party, Jean-Luc is quick to turn on Smellulus for the slightest disrespect. He refuses to let his goblins measure him and insists he will only create an ill-fitting clown outfit because that's all he sees in him. Smellulus feels betrayed and furious, attacking Jean-Luc with his tusks. He dodges around it, summoning his scarves to him that cling to his body and undergoes a magical girl-style transformation while forcing Smellulus to suddenly find himself wearing a clown costume. He wishes them well and sends them off.
In the post-credits scene of Come At the King: Chapter 5, an unaware Jean-Luc reads his morning paper and is stunned by the news about the emperor. He quietly fires and sends away Bidet and Merde, seeing them to safety just before the guards break down his door.
The creators of Rude Tales of Magic have defended their merch, stating that it is all in good fun and meant to be lighthearted. They believe that their fans understand their sense of humor and appreciate the irreverent nature of the show. They argue that they are simply catering to their target audience who enjoy the more risqué elements of the podcast. Despite the controversy, the sales of Rude Tales of Magic merchandise continue to be strong. There is a dedicated group of fans who appreciate the unique and unapologetically crude style of the show and want to display their support through purchasing the merch. These fans proudly wear their Rude Tales of Magic t-shirts, display their explicit stickers, and drink from their suggestive mugs. In the end, Rude Tales of Magic merch is a reflection of the show itself. It is not for everyone, and those who find it offensive or distasteful may choose not to engage with it. However, for those who enjoy the off-color humor and irreverent style of the podcast, the merchandise serves as a way to connect with the show and proudly display their love for this unique form of entertainment..
Reviews for "Unleashing Your Inner Magic with Rude Tales of Magic Merch"
1. Alex - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the "Rude Tales of Magic" merch. The quality of the items was poor, with the designs appearing faded and the fabric feeling cheap. Additionally, the sizes were completely off. I ordered a medium shirt, but it looked more like a small. The customer service was also lacking, as my inquiries were met with generic responses and no solutions. Overall, a complete waste of money and I would not recommend purchasing from them.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high expectations for the "Rude Tales of Magic" merch, but unfortunately, they fell short. The shirt I ordered had a design that was completely different from what was depicted on the website. The colors were dull and the print seemed pixelated. Furthermore, the packaging was subpar, as the shirt arrived wrinkled and the print was already peeling off. It seems like they are cutting corners to save costs and it definitely shows in the final product. Save your money and look for better quality merch elsewhere.

I regret purchasing the "Rude Tales of Magic" merch. The shirt I received had a strong chemical smell and no amount of washing seemed to get rid of it. The fabric was cheap and uncomfortable to wear, leaving me feeling itchy and irritated. The sizing was also way off, and the shirt was much smaller than expected. Additionally, the print started fading after just a couple of washes. It's a shame because I really wanted to support the show, but the quality of the merch is simply terrible.
