Acquisitions Incorporated Live - PAX East 2017 

Kris rolling that 1 was probably one of the funniest moments in Acq Inc history. On par with Jerry's double 1 in season 2.

"So I turn to you, and there's hope because I look like I have the answer... And then you realise it looks like I have many answers... Far too many answers." OK, I'm in love with Kris, it's official, yup.

Kris' humour is so left field, and like Morgan, it's a different kind of material at the table. I love it. Best part is he's reserved and outspoken (also like Morgan). When he talks you know it's gonna be good. It doesn't even feel like he's a new player at the table. It's been a long time coming.

*Bilingual Bonus:* "Vantro" (the word one of the giants screams when Jim brings their god-statue to life) is an old word for heretic or heresy in Danish. It literally translates to "wrong belief/believer". The pronunciation isn't even that far off. Kudos to Chris Perkins.

Kris's character has very quickly become my favorite character. From the moment he looked in the mirror that first morning, I was hooked.

Rule Number One: When the DM asks for your party's marching order, you know you're in trouble.

I've been waiting for Kris to guest on one of these shows ever since I heard him on the Dark Sun podcasts. Dude is fucking hilarious!

When you see the C team in the opening animation

Acquisitions Inc and Chris Perkins bring me so much happiness in life. I am SO VERY GLAD you're doing this 3 times a year now. I wish it was more!

48:33. Thank me. Chris Perkins is hilarious. Upon receiving a magma ring from a giant, Jim wonders how to attune to the ring to make it smaller.

Ha, the C team are in the bar during the intro.

I would just like to point out that the "arcane tongue" Chris Perkins used for the Oracle is clearly based on some Scandinavian language... As a Dane (from Denmark, the smallest part of Scandinavia) I clearly understood some of the words he pronounced, which translates more or less to the describtions he gives... Such as: "the evil that is trapping souls drawing life from those who have been raised from the dead, they to will be consumed, the Soulmonger must be destroyed" (the answer to removing Jim's curse) loosly translates to danish as:" Ondskaben der er fanger sjæle absorbere livet fra de som er blevet vækket fra de døde, _de vil også blive spist,_ Sjælehandleren skal destrueres" the part in italic is the most recognizable...

don't know the new guy, but going insane on your first roll ( OMG he rolls as well as Omin, he rolled a 1) bodes well for the future!

Welcome Kris and may you stay insane forever!

Discovering years of Acquisitions Incorporated and slowly making my way through has been a joy. Crisp Perkins is the quintessential DM.

Mike needs to start a Gym back at AI:HQ... and call it "Jim Darkmagic's Gym of Dark Magic." Gimme a shoutout when you get those t-shirts made.

"Happy birthday" guy is my hero.

I write a prescription for armor. I mean it's preventive... HAha!

I really wish Chris and Jim (or someone in the audience) remembered that commanding the animated giant statue is a bonus action, so Jim could've done more per turn.

Best series that ever existed. I could watch it forever

If only Kriss had started laughing at the threat of the giants discovering them.... if only. 😉

I really like that the ice giants of Chris' world are a bunch of hockey hosers.

HEY! I played a campaign in the Yawning Portal back in '06! Such a great setting for groups that just like to delve. Especially if you say that the dungeon magically re-arranges itself periodically.

Frost Giant Hockey team. I love Chris.

I've been waiting for this! Chris Perkins is the best, and I love the continuity between his games. And now the new 'C' Team stuff from PennyArcade. Great performance from everyone.

Nothing gets the adrenaline pumping for a player like a good ol' death save.

I was there. Chris Perkins signed my DM book. He didn't even glance at my walker. He's awesome.

Wow I was really pleased with Chris' character. I loved how he played him. He was a real hoot!

Does anyone else find it incredibly ironic that Omin worships a god of luck

My favorite combination of players to date.

Just spotted Rosie Beestinger and Walnut Dankgrass from the C Team in the background of the intro! Gosh Dangit

Damn, Jim's dice are so beautiful.

33:35 - "Welcome to Acquisitions Inc. !!!" let the maddens begin 52:30 - amazing visual effects 1:00:10 - the Witch Doctor is in the house

This was definitely worth the waiting. Some real entertainment right there. Loved it.

Im quite certain this giant room would have had huge chandelers. XD

I love that the mythical giant language is just norwegian :D

Perfect thing to wake up to. Awesome.

I love Jim Darkmagic so much. The off the cuff comments he makes are just the best.

My favorite thing across all these vids is Mikes face when he hears how much damages hes taking.

1:22:10 , I was saying to myself "He's so going to get a Nat 1", can't believe it actually happened.

33:37 - Welcome to Acquisitions Inc.

I've seen/heard every Acq inc podcast/video several times each. I rewatch and enjoy the whole enterprise every couple months (usually lucky enough to finish with the latest one just coming out) and have enjoyed the many years of the adventures. I've never had the priviledge of seeing them live but hope dearly to go to the next PAX east they appear in. Keep up the good work!

I never played DnD growing up, and holy shiiiiiit have I missed out? Thankfully I can enjoy these episodes. Never let them stop!

That intro was fantastic! Zee did a great job as always.

Thank you RU-vid Recommended section for letting me know that these moved channels yet again! Blackfootferret, to Dungeons & Dragons, and now hopefully a forever home in PennyarcadeTV.

just love these acq inc sessions! keep it up guys :D

So happy been waiting for ever

Funny Jerry makes a "Not worthy" joke about the axe of a Frost Giant.

I just realized when Omin wasn't able to resurrect his sisters, Omin's sisters literally ghosted him.

Love these vids! Each one has me laughing at some point and multiple times. I like having Morgan back. She's adorable and fun. Mike and Jerry are fun as always. And I like seeing the cast change ups. I think it keeps things fresh and fun.

So, so happy.

OMG!! I can not wait until next time. Loved

Morgaine never got her necklace!

Bra norsk Chris Perkins. Dette er bra jotnespråk!

listening to ACQ INC while rerereplaying the Baldur's gate serie...love it

omg kris is such a great addition to the team :D his humor is so fucking awesome

I am so pummped for PAX west!

I can sense some awesome interplay between K'thriss and Jim down the line. Some real dark dark magic.

That's funny, right when the projections changes to falling snow the AC in my office kicked in :P

I liked this group. Good job all around.

Brilliant. Was waiting for this! :)

This needs to happen more often.

I love you "ALL" Thank You For Your Adventure's.

"The more serious the situation the funnier I find it." AKA, the joker.

I've been waiting for this!! :D

Mike has the best, most ear-milky laugh of them all

Just to put an end to people speculating about Pat, he was on the JoCo Cruise during March 7-11. PAX East took place during March 10-12. He's still involved with Acquisitions Inc. (as you'll be able tell by the fact that he sends a few texts to one of the players during the "C" team games). It just so happens that he has other things going on in his life as well.

Green Flame Hype!

Anyone else notice that the frost giant "Harshnag" at 41:00 of Force Grey is the same Harshnag frost giant that Dice Camera Action just meet in there last few episodes?

Having learned norwegian over the last couple of years I was pleasantly surprised to realise I can kind of understand giant.

30:00-34:00: the greatest build-up and wtf moment in Acq Inc history.

THIS IS GREAT TIMING IN STARTING A BG1+2 Trilogy mod playthrough. fucking amazing

Yet another Jerry rhyme at the end, amazing.

1:22:18 Omin Crit-Shits the bed once again! Traditions.

Morgan & Kris are excellent additions.

In regards to Jerry’s rolls. Have you seen his job? Have you seen his wife? Dude burned his luck in real life. ❤️

'did you already broke the new wizard?' - jim darkmagic

This is one of the really funny ones!

No one has the capacity to put the mysteries of the divine and arcane into layman's terms better than Jim Darkmagic.

Watching all these over and over, it occurs to me that they need to have complete animated shows, starting from the beginning. Of watch them for sure.

its about time there was a non evil giant in acquisitions inc

Chris speaking Giant sounded alot like my language, Norwegian :O I almost knew what he said during the second question :D Or it was just my imagenation.

Jim fires Ocatrine Fireballs that is soooooo baller.

OH Shit!! B-team in the intro background!

Its so weird watching this after being a long-time fan of DCA; "Why are Frost Giants in Chult?" "OH that's why..."

Wait! Both C Team ladies are next to the well in the animation!

In a wierd twist, Mike rolled a natural 20 for his first roll with Acquisitions Inc, and Kris rolls a natural 1, seems like magic is all or nothing :P

Awesomeness.

@ 33:38 Welcome to Acquisitions Inc! Beautiful!!! LOL!!

The opening animation is worth it.

Given all the play with airships, I really hope that one day Chris P will work in a Lee Scoresby NPC one of these shows.

Everytime Kathris disappeared into the shadows I imagined it like the Homer Simpson hedge meme

the c team is in the intro video near the hole

Was it just me who noticed the Rosie and Walnut cameos at the Yawning Portal? :D

K'thris is the reason I started the C-team.

does anyone else think that the dragon might be isoheadres? or however its spelled from the giant castle?

Damn, we gotta wait till September.

Morgan Webb is an Angel, and Kris Straub is a great addition, but i cant help but miss Binwin and Viari. I hope Scott Kurtz has a change of heart and just plays with AI because it's fun and his fans love his character. AI really is the flagship D&D medium these days, and though I wish him the best of luck, I don't see his Binwin's Minions getting the same exposure and success as AI.

I fucking love Jerry's raps!
