Acq Inc Cyberpunk RED // €$1 vs €$5B Battle of the Corpo Bands: Worth it???

[@jamesdempsey1330]

You got the man who WROTE THE SETTING to DM? Good Fucking Gods, there's "Savvy Branding Get" and then there's sitting down at the table with fucking Pondsmith.

[@mobinkopossum9216]

This is shockingly not the first time Pondsmith has done this- he's got another campaign with Matthew Lillard in it

[@AnarchicArachnid]

​@@mobinkopossum9216yep and Nova is the daughter of his character (the cyberpunk version of Cereal killer from Hackers ) and the player's character from that game who promised him 1 date

[@Andre-hp4od]

he does it all the time ! there are many vids of him being DM, he actually hosted my favorite one he has done (because mathew lillard is in it) a year or so ago? i recommend it 100%

[@D-structman]

I love Mike Pondsmith's voice

[@geoffdewitt6845]

Dude can narrate the dictionary.

[@charliebrenton4421]

Indeed! In my mind, Morgan Blackhand is Mike Pondsmith with a carbon fiber hand!

[@ViaVirtus]

You can find "Listen up you primitive screwheads" as an audiobook narrated by him. Its like the Bible.

[@MotiviqueStudio]

Mike Pondsmith has a golden voice.

[@Mystikk666]

Mike Pondsmith must have nerves of steel. Jerry's _constant_ talking over everybody and interrupting _the GM_ would've netted him a very stern response at my table …

[@RTalsorianGames]

Oh I cannot wait for everyone to see what comes next.

[@Atlus-sw4ht]

stfu Rob, jesus all you do is perform the worst hypeman routine ever

[@itsjonesh]

Man, I love to see people playing RED. I wish I could find some people interested in playing the game in my vicinity. Cyberpunk RED seems so cool when you're with friends!

[@StromLxrd6]

create a online group ill join and play. i feel the same way

[@rangereric18]

The Thor mechanic scene brought me all the way back to Adventures in Babysitting. 😂

[@Emmerron]

Was awesome watching this live with the crew in the RTG Discord! So excited for the release of the CEMK next week!

[@akirasakoda4154]

Noura is such a chameleon. Last saw her on "Graveyards of Arkham" and I barely recognize her in this setting. Awesome work.

[@jordanespinosa2508]

I'm forty-two minutes in and this is already what I'd hoped for. Back later with more thoughts as soon as they can coalesce into something cogent.

[@jfelipe1987]

something cogent is a great band name

[@caenem]

Can Jerry just let the rest of the crew play? He's always excitedly interrupting

[@LordRavenscore]

Nearly enough to run off a viewer.

[@michaelshaw8528]

Jerry needs to shut it. And let other people play. He isn't DM

[@chefjustice8127]

Welcome to Aquisitions Incorperated!😂

[@RadBadTad]

An hour and a half long walk from a bar table to the car in the parking lot. These games are the best.

[@YAY4ADDERALL]

I love Jerry but geez Louise, hush a moment. One analogy per pause-in-conversation is probably sufficient.

[@alexscroggins7856]

Loved it! So glad we're being gifted with this series from you guys

[@NambiOficial]

If Mike Pondsmith is in the thumbnail, I'm clicking right away!

[@silva29]

From their first episode with Chris Perkins using the 4e ruleset to now, Jerry still hasn't changed. Let other people play. But then again being the boss of almost everyone around you, must make you oblivious to such things.

[@Velzhaed]

But he has to let everyone know he thought of SOMETHING TO SAY RIGHT NOW GOTTA SAY IT.

[@papapaulrocks]

Oh my gosh this was such a gem! Glad to see Mike again!

[@chromacypher8409]

Played so many games, over so many years. Would love to play under Mike Pondsmith's guidance and experience. Love his energy, voice, direction, and descriptions.

[@SergioLeRoux]

I will watch anything TTRPG that Penny Arcade plays that isn't the "World's Most Popular Role Playing Game" in a heartbeat.

[@michaelshaw8528]

Jerry had no chill. Other people wanna play

[@TheOGGMsAdventures]

Mike Poundsmith-I used to know him, wrote cybergeneration with him. SUP POUNDSMITH

[@bluecarpettiles]

Loved CyberGeneration. Ran it during sixth form. Totally ripped off Akira too.

[@TheOGGMsAdventures]

@@bluecarpettiles cool

[@CWTycho]

such a potent setting

[@TheOGGMsAdventures]

@@CWTycho thanks

[@jayrobinson5014]

Still love Cybergeneration

[@thelasttimeitried]

Mike: "Does anyone want to do a deep dive on them?" Noura: "Yeah, I ..." Jerry "THIS GAME ONLY EXISTS TO TRIGGER MY RANDOM WORD ASSOCIATIONS!"

[@juanmanuelmobilio6799]

Mike Pondsmith is a worldwide treasure of a man.

[@brandonmezzell4921]

Jerry please let everyone play. Dude just keeps talking over everyone and it's not even about anything meaningful. Let the others shine. You're at an 11 and we need you at about an 8.

[@himurogentoku7117]

Looking good, Mr. Pondsmith, sir! Cool game, Acquisition Incorporated team!

[@TheObsoleteModel]

This is so good. I was hoping PA would run a Shadowrun campaign because, you know, Seattle, but I get it. SR is probably too close to D&D with the fantasy side of it, plus Cyberpunk 2077's popularity. I do love Shadowrun though. Everyone was great, I loved the characters. Amazing GM. PA hitting all of the notes, D&D, Star Wars, Vampire and now Cyberpunk!

[@acquisitionsincorporated]

We do have a 2-episode Shadowrun one-shot GM'd by Lauren Bond with Jerry, Jasmine, Kate Welch, and Lisa Wallen on Club PA: www.patreon.com/ClubPA

[@TheObsoleteModel]

@@acquisitionsincorporated I don't know how I missed that. Thank you so much.

[@ChrisWood]

I’m running Cyberpunk for the first time next weekend for Free RPG day. The timing of this campaign is auspicious. 😊

[@wayfarervisual]

Missed you Big Mike

[@LayedBackGamers]

Mike Pondsmith is a genius, I wish I could participate in one of these 😭

[@bmosley45]

Yes. This. This combo of people playing this game is a dream come true.

[@tomwisniewski8988]

That combo being Jerry and Friends....

[@bmosley45]

@@tomwisniewski8988 And Maximum Mike, himself!

[@nathanlonghair]

Ok, I found this a bit late and it excites me; I can't wait to watch it when I'm off work. I'm a bit sad that Austin isn't in on this one... but I AM hyper excited that the GM/Ref is Pondsmith himself!

[@BrandonCornwall-fn6mo]

Im only 22 and I've only played 2077 but mike pondsmith just seems like such a dope chill guy I'd love to meet him just have a conversation also would love video's of him just reading cyberpunk lore and stuff bro's got a amazing voice

[@illstepper123]

Can Jerry just stay quiet for a few minutes so we can get a complete sentence from Mike or anyone else?

[@fishroy1997]

Yes. Jerry said one word per minute for every pound he weighs.

[@jayrobinson5014]

Can listen to Mr. Pondsmith all day

[@MrZakXero]

"He's so hot its rude." I felt that lol

[@SukerokuZ]

Pondsmith has a voice that, if he told you "I am your father" all of us would say "YES!!" 💪😤

[@exemplar7205]

love the idea of Nova's hair getting longer every head swing, one full rotation for a new length lol

[@Ian-uw4lf]

Bald dude made it difficult to get through this otherwise amazing episode. Edit - It only gets worse throughout the episode

[@johnn1199]

I played a little game where if I heard Jerry speaking with one second of pressing play, I skipped forward 20 minutes and played again. I ran out of video immediately. Jesus wept, I really do love the guy but these things are supposed to be a choir, not a multi-hour solo.

[@TulpaKing]

Mikes voice so good I thought it wan one of the voiceover intros before I realized we were just diving right in

[@hyghacinth1632]

JUST GOT HERE!! ITS HIM - ITS REALLY HIM!!! OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

[@CWTycho]

ya goddamn right

[@calebdreams]

"He's so hot it's rude!" 😂😂😂

[@LordRavenscore]

Psst Jerry Holkins, ya not the GM bruh. Fall back a little.

[@LordRavenscore]

I made it 34 mins, I can't with this Jerry guy.

[@Ian-uw4lf]

I had to pause the video multiple times cause the interruptions were getting so annoying.

[@afcreative22]

Okay the hysterical thing is that I'm currently writing a Cyberpunk fanfic with a main character named Nova... To say that I had to do a double take is to say nothing at all

[@80VAIN08]

If they're just playing chippin in, jam darkmagic must be killing it on the guitar.

[@miiasutherland852]

I know it's "shards" but I keep hearing, "we've got sharts for days" .lol

[@blayneyoung8881]

This bald guy needs to chill. I get this is first party vibe but hes shouting and talking over people and not taking cues from the DM when the DM wants to further the story. I get that your character is the fixer but let other people at the table bring their characters to the party.

[@Bee_Mavrick]

Dude is just excited😂

[@DannyFist]

Maximum Mike always delivers

[@meesterskullbaby]

❤ Maximum Mike. If he doesn’t kill their characters did he even GM??

[@Moondog66602]

I would do almost anything to have Mike Pondsmith dm for me ...

[@Brilchan]

neo retro AS a band name sounds so stupid I LOVE IT XD

[@mmmhorsesteaks]

Wow that's like 40 in band years...

[@zdamha6890]

Hell yeah. i just picked up the Edge runner mission kit.

[@Sl0thL0veChunk]

Almost missed the drop on this! This is gonna get me through a workday!

[@tehdii]

I would want of you to write your Cyberpunk party names as a response :) I have come up with: Ciphra Kazm, Sloty Polly, Autumn Shush. Ciphra Kazm would be mine in a CP campaign :)

[@AdamSuperAC]

Nuthin but the BEST entertainment, with - ACQ INC - 👍😎👍 Hello from Australia !!!❤

[@diamondjack75]

Jerry is that one player (at every table) who wants to do everything and never shuts up. The band needs a new manager!

[@tomwisniewski8988]

I love his enthusiasm, but it sure can be intrusive at times.

[@kieran10202]

Jerry works well in a really bad situation because he will always come up with something to say.

[@blayneyoung8881]

Yeah he's really killing it for me, he needs to tone it down and let the table have a chance.

[@abpho207]

True. Jerry is smart though. And the DM can always rein in that enthusiasm.

[@Dowfreak18]

Yes, more of this please

[@electrichumbug]

omfg im so glad I dont have Holkins at my table...

[@garrisonguides719]

BOTH kinds of music, nice

[@MissMagitek]

Let's GOOO! I have been so excited to watch this!!

[@HellMongrel]

Man I love Mike but holy crap 11 years…

[@meesterskullbaby]

Legendary collaboration just wish we had straub or rothfuss

[@chipsloll]

What are the all the pieces of paper that Mike and the players have? Asking so that I’m prepared for if i run a campaign as a GM

[@Bee_Mavrick]

I think player sheets. Stats and other info about the player.

[@StromLxrd6]

I want to be as young and cool as Mike if i make it to his age lw....

[@isledorn]

The video doesn’t show. I only have voice.

[@Jshaw71]

Plz tell me this is not just a 1 one shot...

[@misery13666]

Love AI content normally. Miss more regular content, but the team is far to busy memeing to walk out of a building. First time I've given up on an episode. I've stopped watching this one twice today, and only made it half way through. I dont know if it's the overabundence of jokes, or the new GM just isn't used to herding this particular breed of cats like perkins and craford can....... but the plot got so lost in the BS that I'm done trying. I'll check back to see how EP2 goes.

[@DerekReuter]

As a writer and creative consultant that helped map the easter-egg of FF:06:B5 , I'm at the point where I don't think anyone is going to figure it out. Especially considering it references real life events and the real identities behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto. I'm tempted to give it away. Maybe if the Cyberpunk content creators wanted to setup an AMA on Reddit, I could attend and spill the deets.
