Acquisitions Incorporated - PAX Prime 2012 D&D Game (Part 2)

[@GiraffeAnatomy]

This is live theater at its finest! Engaging the audience and their imagination, taking them on a two hour ride of epic awesomeness. Well done!

[@Artrysa]

Jim has a awesome shirt. it has a d20 on it with a 1, and then under the 1 it says: i feel shame, as a minor action. thats a good shirt right there.

[@Br0teas]

+Artrysa that's something he said in a previous podcast after a big fail.

[@Artrysa]

Matthew Brough what podcast? i can't remember him saying that.

[@Br0teas]

Season 2 cant remember which part as it was a while ago.

[@Artrysa]

Matthew Brough ok

[@MsRandomPro]

Wil Wheaton said it on PAX, i think it was 2010 or maybe it was on 2011, sadly i can't remember which one it was, it was when Wil failed some task or something, either way, it's funny af though!!! xD

[@hank9112]

I hope this series lasts for years and years and years!!!!! It's So AWESOME!!!

[@darkfire5169]

Done

[@abpho207]

You have no idea.

[@JustFunkyProduction]

Thank you all so much for creating these!

[@CumulusBluesky]

Wizard and Lizard: Just after Rudy the Undead Hound

[@Kiltem]

I have not once played D&D in my life, and this was an amazing game.

[@HyperboreanNabob]

While this session wasn't as fun as the last few, this is still such an amazing example of a good D&D game. Great advertising!

[@Eldanoth]

Chris Perkins & Incorporated: I love you! Chris, film your own group & put all in youtube! We all want to see you!!!!

[@TheRASDEL83]

I have been following the Adventures of Acquisitions Inc. since the begining, and i must admit this has become a cult classic already! XD Epic characters, Epics DMing, Epic adventures... just so much fun! Keep it up

[@EastTexasGunBros]

ive never really played dnd or watched any videos but this makes me wanna play so bad. looks awesome

[@MisterTingles]

is it just me or was Chris actually getting a bit choked up when Wil pulled that branding with the holy symbol shit?

[@Br0teas]

+MrTingles Chris loves the in character role playing, and will reward a player it. I wish more DM's were like him.

[@MrOragada]

"We did it, we broke the Dungeon Master" With Chris just dissolving in laughter

[@EPGelion]

Just laughed my way through my entire morning of work. Totally worth the wait!

[@Locane256]

Favorite line: "That sword goes in to the acid like a BITCH."

[@Vizharan93]

I wish there was proper DnD going on around my city ._. Used to play back in the day, lacking the right people now. I love watching this.

[@maouzen7109]

"Haha, rolled a 2 against myself!" Love it!

[@iferg15]

41:30 that headshake to Wil was hilarious

[@jeromysmith1983]

I love these videos. It's such a shame they only happen once a year.

[@Cradboradfy]

I so need more of this, also gotta love that Jim "Dark Magic" Magic.

[@rabospawn]

So nice of Jim Carrey to DM this for them.

[@skipperhawk2438]

Actually Wil earned his place with his DnD memorial before climbing in the An***. Wish he was still playing with this group!

[@Fraiziar]

That "dude with the gold head band" is Wil Wheaton, he played Wesly Crushier in STTNG and is generally awesome!

[@kakitajubei]

This edition of Acquisitions Inc is like a prequel to Wil Wheaton's "TableTop" or the upcoming "RPG show" :)

[@christiansearcy5963]

41:30 is next-level DM strats :D

[@StarcraftOakley]

He said on a tabletop hangout that they will have an episode for DnD in the next season of it, and that there may or may not be a tabletop spinoff series focused entirely on roleplaying

[@IsaRat89]

I have no idea why, but the line "My mistake was not using this sparkly purple die" cracks me upXD

[@orngrnify]

Volvo - the most safe spider mount. 👍🏽

[@paladonis]

Yah agreed. Chris kinda hinted at it very quickly that it would have been very hard for her to miss the switch once Bidwin finally found it. I liked that marking idea too. May have to use that at some point myself...

[@KatherineMathiowetz]

OMFG I LOVE THIS STUFF............. I GUESS I can give up GW2 for two or so hours to watch this tonight with my hubby!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lowercase16]

The problem is that these take a ton of prep work. Also, you can't work around Wil Wheaton's and Chris Perkins' schedules easily. (Jerry, Mike, and Scott all work in the same office, so that shouldn't be as big of a problem.) PLUS, you'd miss out on the appreciative and sometimes helpful audience. Which is a bigger deal than you might assume. All of that being said, a weekly or biweekly thing would be a very different creature, but still fantastic. Here's hoping it happens!

[@knottchristopher]

I know this was awhile ago, but AL would have had to drop the sword when he first tried to hold onto the rope and pull Darkmagic up.

[@rustbeltpipes]

Agreed! Do you think if enough people showed interest Penny Arcade would release monthly D&D vids? Let's make that happen.

[@cvancourt]

I would pay money to play a campaign with Chris Perkins, greatest DM of all time.

[@dominicwolfgangwallace2331]

I like how the guy on the stairs said jumping was dangerous, than tripped and died.

[@halfling62]

gavinps31 It's from Flashdance, water falls from a bucket above the stage on to jennifer Beals.

[@TheLordLeviticus]

Dam, we have to wait 1 year until the next episode. They should do a few throughout the year.

[@berserkgatsu10]

28:40 Wil and Scott:" What about a rope? What you holding a rope??? Mike:" OH, SHIT!!!" :D:D:D I DIE FROM LAUGH!!! :D

[@SeejoCrux]

"9 and 10 are right next to each other in the alphabet." -- Wil Wheaton

[@ScrivenerofDoom]

He's a brilliant player too. I'd love to have someone like that - with his sense of humour but creative play - in my group.

[@CrimsenOverlordVideos]

One of the reasons they don't do this more often is because it is hard to arrange all 5 people's schedules. Chris Perkins is extremely busy. Though I suppose Jerry could always DM...

[@BEASTYCHIMERA]

These guys here are the reason ill try to play DnD

[@IQequalZero]

Yeah its like, the most virulent poison known to all the planes get stabbed into a Great Wurm gold dragon, it keels over and dies in seconds...same thing happens to a dwarf, he blinks a few times and goes "ooooow, quit it" wuuuuuuut

[@Mistrblank]

Grrr. Stupid send button next to backspace... I love that this was both a PLAYGROUP, and a demo. Seems neat for a convention panel that isn't just some guy up there spouting new features for their product. Fun vids

[@regularsalamander]

What doesn't make sense is that the acid pit was 10 feet deep. The hole to the extra-dimensional space was 6 feet up. Wouldn't the wall rise up into it?

[@AdellRedwinters]

well assuming Jim wasn't at the floor of the acid pit and was floating at the top, then it would have been high enough above the floor.

[@statiq1941]

6 feet above the top of the acid. The acid essentially eplaced the floor

[@regularsalamander]

You mean replaced, right?

[@statiq1941]

Noah Kelly It's called a typo.

[@robinenlund9033]

Boom bitch get on the floor

[@brianjshelly]

Every time Scott says SEE-mus it's like nails down a chalkboard.

[@iriis1]

Will: "Dear Mom and Dad..." *forgets he's an orphan*

[@PiaLottaKpunkt]

sassy sword - the dice rolle like it's fate! or like my DM always said: the dice role cineastic! I love this sh*t so much! they should do every session(podcast) with a camera! although i wonder if will wheaton practice the "thumps up"-position at home at a mirror...

[@stormangelus6638]

38:56 - *Will throws the die* OMFG it's just like me! Oh Jesus hell, I couldn't stop laughing! This is awesome!

[@samljer]

This needs to be a tv show...

[@BuatAtiras1]

IDK about D&D next, but in prior editions Drow and Elves are sworn enemies. Also (though I'm not certain if Aeofel was told this in game) the Drow probably did find the switch as Binwin had deduced she had to be VERY stupid not to find it.

[@thenickkendall]

Did anyone else get the Lost reference? Her name is Danielle Rousseau, and she says something about getting the eyes before the Others get there.

[@Razack312]

1:0:4:33 "What, just because he's Fey?" Did anyone else catch that? I love Jim

[@lonesniper931]

11:50, "I will go up the asshole"..... Will missed the part..... "...and boldly go where no one has gone before" :D

[@lonesniper931]

Damn you Chris, About 17:50 he hit the TNG phrase :P

[@farfintadiesseresani]

What's the name of the wizard Will Wheaton mentions in his "monologue" before he goes up in the demonic asshole? "One time, I talked to a wizard named What?"

[@corneiliousjones]

this should be a regular show on Tabletop or it's own show....more of this!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BCKempf]

Best two hours I've spent being entertained in a long fucking time! BINWIN!!

[@FaustinaFalcon8]

that demon statue is on the cover of the 3.5 Player's Handbook 2. theres a rogue stealing its eyes in that picture lol

[@aizengarde8381]

Then the dwarf pulls the happy fun slide lever and all the treasure + the elf falls out where their equipment was originally in the middle of the room making their getaway much faster. darkmagic levitates it to his pad and they all exit stage left!

[@Mattio_]

Oh man that was epic, can't wait for next years already :P

[@corneiliousjones]

wil wheaton was in a very good movie called "stand by me" back in 1986...he was making a joke about that. imdb it!

[@Matthew_Calmert]

That was awesome! Thanks for another amazing episode!

[@Casual_Kyle]

21 minutes "Take that S***" is the best part of this

[@Raktus]

I think the confusion is that these are 4E characters either imported into Next or given abilities not yet in the playtest.

[@ferretist]

Will Wheaton(the elf) was in the movie, "Stand by me."

[@keithbrown6887]

Wil was also in a purty decent episode of the Outer Limits.

[@BrandoCalrission]

Gonna miss al this year. Looking forward to pat rothfuss though; that'll be fun

[@beyondthelol]

Can someone explain the ''come stand by me'' joke?

[@billhenry7213]

Wil Wheaton was in a movie called "Stand By Me."

[@MsRandomPro]

"Raise your hand if you drew first blood", ok so.. i don't exactly know (why) i thought that was so funny, but i laughed till i cried. Oh Will, please comeback, i really do miss him around the table. :/

[@MrXegek]

Well, that was more my confusion. I would have understood if they were untrusting of her right away, because Drow are cray-cray and tend to be quite stabby. It's just it seems silly that her riding a spider is what tips them over the edge on the "friend or foe" question.

[@Xonater]

Lets see these guys on tabletop! next season

[@0StuntCat0]

I know it's best not to encourage him, but that was an awesome set of Simpsons references that Wheaton dropped circa 45 mins

[@Cormalek]

There really should be a transcript for those. Especially the recognized hecklers.

[@Cormalek]

Wil has a channel called Geek and Sundry and there he hosts a show called TableTop. You might like it. Maybe he'll bring the RPG crowd there some day.

[@clarinetman1]

What is so funny when Binwin tells Wheaton "come stand by me"?

[@effingright3045]

Wil Wheaton played Gordie Lachance in the much-loved 1986 movie "Stand by Me."

[@reaver2033]

god i wish they would release stuff like this monthly.

[@Jedicake]

"No, come stand by me." For fucks sake, that was brilliant.

[@billhenry7213]

Yeah. A has-been desperately clinging to the last time he was relevant. He's ready for his close-up...

[@greeniehead]

11:53 THIS NEEDS TO BE ON A SHIRT

[@blackplaga1]

When he phase shifted up there he was supposed to go THIS IS SPARTA

[@paladonis]

It actually worked. i agree they wanted to playtest DnD Next BUT they hadn't arrived at Baulder's Gate. They were still in the house when they ended the last play session. If you play DnD then you know NOTHING tends to work exactly like you plan.

[@rustbeltpipes]

It shouldn't be too difficult. Start an online petition, get plenty of signatures to show interest, then send it to PA to leverage them to put the videos out. I know that they play D&D quite a bit, so how hard is it to set up a camera and hit record?

[@Uyer200]

Is it bad that I knew what Scott was whistling at the end without being told?

[@matlockandkey]

It's returned my life has meaning again

[@EmoWader]

i have been waiting for the 2013 game

[@Lorgar64]

This should be a weekly thing.

[@missbiomouse]

I have had so much fun watching this-even coerced my husband into enjoying it with me :)

[@Relemdeen]

32:45 - almost spits mouthful of tea at the computer monitor and chokes from laughing.

[@MouseGuardian]

ok, so they are playing dnd next. So, what class is Aeofel now, and what race is omen? Mechanically I mean. Love these guys:)

[@TrulyNemo]

48:52 And Scott was just sitting there like Well this is fucking stupid...

[@TheFunOfClassic]

Wizard and the lizard .. canceled ... it was a show that was something special JUST LIKE FIREFLY !

[@Namemattersnot]

BEST ONE YET!!

[@thatguy2366]

Loved the Joss Whedon reference

[@MisterTingles]

or podcasts...dunno, which is more labor intensive, i'd be happy with both

[@nannanom]

Wow! That was so totaly great!

[@jigurd]

They should do this at every PAX, not just PAX Prime

[@Herfer]

you are my new favorite person!! What server are you on?

[@tallica4eternity]

Chris...such an amazing DM

[@warmachine8267]

thase guys are fu**ing awesome

[@Sarahtonen]

cant wait til next year!

[@VictorNobrega1986]

Love watching this video

[@Snarf498]

I like how it gives the warning for adult language right as he's saying "Fix the fucking floor!" =P
