Seeing Chris and Anna back at the table brings back all the DCA feels

Mike too!

[@outlawstar1565]

Awesome to see Chris in the chair again.

[@Dohlenblick]

Always admire how effortlessly Chris Perkins manages to both give concise and highly evocative descriptions.

[@hashijouzu]

He's the best!

[@justinstubbs4475]

Man, I miss the humor that only this table can bring. Mike and Jerry's backgrounds really shines here, and the ladies are playing off it perfectly too! And one can never say enough kind things about Chris's DMing.

[@f.jideament]

Well said.

[@matthewbawden2829]

Their 4E live play is what got me back into D&D when they were being released on the website. So glad to see them back!

[@Zecarius]

Their 4E is what really got me into D&D, so I love how long this has kept going, and Chris's return.

[@NotAnotherCar]

Same. The 4e podcasts and the Dark Sun short campaign they did was what got me started in d&d

[@erikcaine826]

Chirs Perkins has always been my favorite DM to watch, and Jerry's portrayal of Omin can always make me laugh.

[@lawrencedarrah1682]

So happy that they're making these again. I wonder if Rothfuss will ever show up and play.

[@khcm8jw]

He's busy writing...

[@thatepicwizardguy]

Chris remains one of the best DMs and goddamn Mike playing Jim is always such a treat.

[@danthegamerkhan]

Best DM best Creative our chris

[@rorydeblake6433]

I absolutely love that Anna has been playing her character through so many adventures… great show guys, 😊

[@robertmuir5949]

If the DM gives you flying boots of unlimited use and keeps you in the low levels, never re roll.

[@catshitonthecarpet8520]

Hard to believe they didn’t create a channel for this years ago

[@ThomasHostvedt]

Words cannot express the magnitude of awesomeness this bestows. I was floored seeing Chris Perkins at PAX West 2023, the man, myth and legend! Don’t ever leave us again Chris, you are amazing at what you do and a huge inspiration. Sooooo glad to see the crew, and Jim, come on, it ain’t Acq Inc without you meistro!

[@thompirson6323]

Feels good to have Mike and Chris back at the table

[@MichaelTaylorArt]

I'm so glad Jim (or some form of him) is back. It's a magiqal day!

[@codasinger5298]

Chris was the first GM I watched work live, and was a huge inspiration for me. He showed me no matter how ridiculous things get at the table, you can meet it with eloquence and fair judgement.

[@jovishark]

Thank God they added subtitles. I am so pumped to see how this pans out!

[@Darkagial]

right?! it got to the part with the ringing in the ears, and i was tripping out cause of the sound effect playing. my ears randomly ring all my life, and I thought they started to ring at that exact time and was like "wtf"... then i saw the subtitles explain the sound effect and i breathed a sigh of relief.

[@gangstargamers777]

The chemistry between the players is very entertaining. The humor really brings their characters to life.

Is the giveaway an international one

[@OCAetherPunk]

imma pick me boi

[@Tanglangfa]

This is the perfect group, although I like Bobby, Viari, etc. I’m really glad to see a return to a recorded show in addition to the live ones.

[@chrissytamulis1755]

I was at my first PAX West earlier this month. I got to fulfill a dream of mine; seeing everyone live on stage! I'm so excited for Series 2!!

[@ADHDad]

Back where it all began, super excited to see more people rediscover the birth place and midwives of all the Actual Play Industry everyone enjoys in Chris, Jerry and Mike.

[@giggleloop13]

I was lucky enough to see a sneak peek of this at PAX and I'm STILL gonna watch it again because I'm so glad this is back!!! 🎉

[@thetherapist53]

I'm just waiting for the moment someone says something to make Chris break down in hidden laughter

[@JimRedding]

I'm so glad to have regular Acq. Inc back. Green Flame!

[@DEATHTOTHESHITTERS]

GREEN FLAME!

[@SoaringTrumpet]

Green flame!

[@IsAStormComing]

Its really unfortunate that this is only 10 1 hour episodes. They basically filmed the entire series in a weekend. It's like a tease.. Anyway, still makes me happy seeing Perkins as a DM again.

[@Idziemel1]

Just to be clear, the 10 episodes add up to almost 17.5 hours, so they’re much longer than an hour on average.

[@shaunttorosian8498]

Let's Go! SERIES 2! Only Chaos and insanity going forward! And as always, GREEN FLAME!

[@DEATHTOTHESHITTERS]

GREEN FLAME!

[@TheOGGMsAdventures]

Yay season 2. And jim is back. So happy

[@Nin-Gen-Alpha]

Well this definitely put a change in my plans for the day, I had to watch it immediately. Can't wait to continue the ride. Thank you guys for letting us join you on your adventures.

[@birddognl]

Am I dreaming? All my favorite people back at the table! Please don't wake me up!

[@billybob22431]

Good cameras angles , and voice distortion and editing , That’s new Chris Perkins sets a good mood 🎉

[@prinxemu_also]

I'M HERE WE CAN START

[@srkn.kutay4613]

Does anyone else love the inclusion of a cartoon badger? Such a fun addition to the narrative.

[@kapamaroyGR]

I love everybody in this group but in this episode Evelyn really shines!

[@CoreFlux]

The editing on this was just superb! I especially like the "listen to your future mom" bit between Omin and Certainty, cracked me up good.

[@Spyderfarmman]

Chris is the only reason I clicked anything with Acquisitions Inc.

[@langwaters9653]

Great to see Chris DMing again! Love watching this guy.

[@СофыгинСергей]

The dynamics between the players create such a lively atmosphere. Always a joy to watch!

[@MusicMeister42]

Acquisitions Incorporated started the year I graduated high school and filled a hobby niche during a time when I no longer had anyone available to play with and it has been amazing to follow along in their adventures all these years.

[@tehdopefish]

Stoked to see Chris again!

[@Chelocatte]

I have missed Perkins sosososo much, love all these guys and I hope this series continues indefinitely. Had me cracking up all through this episode!

[@nataliautter5783]

I like Chris' inclusion of visions with the use of Portent. This show is delightful!

[@mooxim]

I forgot how good Chris is. He's so chill. You can just feel the love he has for his players.

[@BaronRaymondo619]

Acq inc is back and i am here for it!

[@LCommando19]

Acquisitions inc has been one of my all time favorite things to watch since I got into dnd like 10 years ago, and the production on the series makes it some of the best acq inc content so far. I can't wait to see where it goes. Also, I hope I'm not the only one who audibly gasped when I saw Omin officially changed to Asmo (there's contracts and there's saying it on the character sheet).

[@SilverWarden21]

Im so happy to see these people back at the table. Its like a D&D dream come true.

[@PrinnyBlack]

It's a nice thematic twist to see known characters remade and being played in a twist of a known campaign remade. Also, love seeing Perkins back in the DM's chair in front of a camera.

[@R4N6ER]

Yes! I'm so looking forward to this! Thanks PA team!

[@david7522]

My email was like "hey. You remember that thing you kick started?"

[@NetoD20]

First I missed Chris, now I miss Jeremy and Vi, I want them BOTH in. Awesome show, everybody.

[@Hademars]

Thanks for coming back!

[@sodikin6913]

What a turn of events! From the beauty of the crystal formations to the giant, the plot keeps one glued to the screen.

[@AdamSuperAC]

The Goodness and Debauchery begin !!!!!!! 😎

[@Ragdefender]

Finally back! Chris is my favorite DM to watch. He just knows what situations to throw at his players to make encounters interesting.

[@exriel]

Mike and Jerry; Chris and Anna; Mike, Jerry and Chris. I didn't know how much I missed these dynamics.

[@DewanshMishra1111]

The prismatic sphere trapping Bobby was a surprising twist. Cannot wait to see how they solve this.

[@joshmulligan950]

It's the 'Q' in Jim Darmagiq that does it for me

[@xeoniix2229]

Can we all appreciate Evelyn fatal optimise It gives a unique flavor to her character.

[@ile3rd]

Weekly Acq. Inc....LOVE TO SEE IT!

[@Herobizkit597]

The Wizard of Words strikes again! Today's word of the day is "invidious".

[@brentonbabcock1174]

Great to see the O.G.s back at it! Always a pleasure to see Perkins DM.

[@tonox2_chyt]

The exploration of the mine and discovery of the giant shows how dynamic this game can be.

[@cracktohack7844]

Love how authentic the reactions of the players are. Really adds to the entertainment.

[@BenChilds]

Jerry going for the throat with that Miata/ midlife crisis 😂

[@iusert]

I love AcqInc! At a time when I thought I would leave ttrpgs it took me back in the best way

[@Ash_H_Green]

Came becasue i saw Chris stayed becasue the whole bunch was so fun

[@Bestmusicapos]

The level of detail in the game is amazing. From the crystals to the mine exploration, it is like being on the adventure with them.

[@KAYA807]

These guys know how to keep the audience hooked! The journey into the mine and subsequent discoveries is great storytelling.

[@d20to14]

It's good to see Chris as DM again. I aspire to be as great with my players.

[@nicolemuzones9048]

Chris Perkins is one of my favorite DMs of all time. That originally got me into the hobby. It's so nice to finally watch him again! 😭😭😭

[@trisserwomenkisser]

The improvised nature of this game is what keeps it exciting. One moment they are engrossed in the crystal, next they are dealing with an animated badger!

[@zonamusicsincopyrightfreem9580]

Jim Darkmajiq from Greyhawk is an interesting character. Cannot wait to see how his story unfolds!

[@bdhjd3875]

The players quick wit and humor keeps me tuning in. The episode was filled with laugh-out-loud moments!

[@reskybakri8131]

The plot is so unpredictable. Just when I thought I knew what was happening, a cartoon badger appeared!

[@Globula12]

Wow! Where did this come from? So excited to see all these folks back at the table. Let's win some dice!

[@Phoenixrage]

Jerry's "We want the big numbers" was perfect setup for Jasmine landing on the mythical 21 on the D20 😂

[@mattbriddell9246]

Watching (and listening) to the original Acq. Inc. games is how I got started playing TTRPGs. Glad to see this group back for another go-round!

[@PenandPaperRanger]

Ive missed watching Chris dm so much the past couple years since we lost dca, he was always such an inspiration to me when I first started dming

[@anthonymoralez]

So great to see the crew adventuring again. Love the dynamic between Certainty, Omin, and Evelyn. Can't wait for more.

[@psychoschmuck1616]

The stars are back into alignment with Mike & Chris returning. Jeremy, Jerry, Jasmine, Anna, Holly & Xavier did an awesome job holding down the fort the last few years. Well done all!

[@tomwisniewski8988]

Crawford was way too corny.

[@koenvanderrijt5244]

"hello friend!" and chris starts giggling 🙂

[@pallaviwaghmare605]

Always fascinating to see how each player approaches the game differently. It is like getting a glimpse into their minds.

[@effingright3045]

Chris and three of my favorite people ever!

[@TheSenoti]

Real nice seeing them struggle with the low levels, not being able to just fix everything with a high level spell

[@NickKN13]

Watching you all play is the next best thing to actually playing. Thank you all!

[@Vintentional]

Been looking forward to this for a while now! Hope they have some surprise guest stars!

[@wolfrine5674]

Wow I'm partially deaf so I was not expecting the subtitles to be so well made

[@lordoflizardsp]

Seeing Chris and Anna at the table is so wonderful. Makes me wish they would bring DCA back, or at least do a few update videos on what the Waffle Crew have been up to all this time.

[@Magemaster55]

Dude, I totally understand that, though you need to accept that DCA is done and Waffle crew is in the past.

[@ahmetsoylemez822]

The twist with the cartoon badger was unexpected but so intriguing. Cannot wait to see how that plays out!

[@jakefriday]

Chris' DMing is so fucking good. I love it.

[@ROBHELL82]

Love Chris and this group. Unpopular opionion: Chris have to destroy the flying boots asap.

[@creepelexyt2201]

The interplay between comedy and seriousness creates a captivating atmosphere.

[@wookietunes]

at minute 56 i love how Perkins starts with the phrase 'crystal shard' then realizes the I.P. that touches and corrects himself to 'obsidian chunk'

[@RuralRoar]

I'm so happy this series is back, and it's great to see the dedicated channel.

[@Redoubt9000]

Yes, more of this! It's been years since last watching a table game and seeing Chris at the helm... Looking forward to what Jerry and Anna bring :D

[@catshitonthecarpet8520]

“Commodities Speculators” in the credits! 😂

[@rahulhooda4779]

The sense of adventure is palpable. It is like you are right there with them in the game.

[@Darktowerxxx]

Just click as the 121st thumb ups! I'm So Stoke! Acq. Inc. Is Back Babyyyyy!!!!

[@BritBox777]

Listening to Jerry and Mike banter over DnD brings back nostalgia like no other. I remember listening to the first podcast on the Wizards web page! It's been too long.

[@kingquimazabi]

Jim and Perkins back, so awesome!!

[@chrisnellis3153]

It's awesome to see them back again. I cant wait for the next episode!
