Checking in 3/27/23. Have seen this show multiple time and watched until the most recent. I recommend Ac Inc. to everyone, especially if they need a more comedic break from the serious tones in other like campaigns. I miss Aeofel despite the issues, even used his character as the butt end to my own Ac Inc campaign. They inspired my stories and the histories of my worlds and my Players have benefited greatly from it. Thank you!

Now, this isn't hate, but Wheaton really didn't fit in with this group. I get the feeling he has a much bigger love for the roleplaying aspect of the game than the others, so it's not really anyone's fault. They just didn't match. It was kind of awkward when he was trying to get fully into character, and the others were joking around and cutting off his epic speeches. That's why I like the later ones better, with Rothfuss as Viari.
@Muck0068 жыл бұрын
That actually is a problem, because far too many kids out there see this and think that D&D is mostly about combat. Any mostly combat focused campaign will make combat irrelevant, because they either never die, are easily able to resurrect or constantly replace their character. Once you reduce the number of combats and make them have serious consequences you will become attached to your character and start being afraid for him. Thats when roleplaying gets important. This is why I dislike later episodes ... because ROLEplaying > ROLLplaying IMO.

@Dreadnaught19857 жыл бұрын
I kind of agree, as a big fan of Wil, I feel his personality was too big for the group. I get the feeling him being the big celebrity in the group meant he always wanted to be the centre of attention, his turns were always drawn out he had these attempts at the dramatics and even when it was other peoples turns he was always in with comments and quips. Which now and again is fine, but it became a little cringe as the events went on. His over-reacting to things like Acid and mentions of party members being killed kind of put me off his character, actually wanting to see him fail more. I do feel Viari makes for a better member to the party, and I like the direction they went in bringing back Aeofel as a vilin in the form of the masked "kylo ren" character from "Dron Enterprises" who backstabbed the group in the 12th episode of "the series" (the season about the Staff of 7 parts) I find Wil would make for a decent DM against the group, but Chris does such a great job It would be hard to accept Wil taking over from him on a regular basis, maybe as a one off return (to DM maybe an adventure based on them trying to take down Aeofel)

A wonderful DM knows how to Introduce comedy into the game on occasion. One of my favorite shots was the characters set up am Ambush in a mist covered river. Using hollow reeds as breathing tubes, and their archers situated as flanking shooters ( good strategy). When their pursuers reached their side of the river they tripped the ambush and the fight was on! The fighters in the river went melee' and archers/ crossbowmen shot down any still on the opposite bank. When all the fighting was concluded the DM said, " Wait a minute. There is a swirl in the water next to you. You see eyes rising to the surface looking up." The character, wielding a mace (cleric) said, "HIT HIM!" Rolled a 17 to hit. SPLAT!! The cleric asked," I hit him didn't ?!" The DM said, " It didn't 'feel' like a him?....Reach down pick up what's there I guess,,,," The cleric reached down, and pulled up.....a bullfrog! The ensuing laughter is STILL echoing through that town! The druid wasn't pleased (fiercely trying to hold back his laughter, and wasn't very successful) sternly reminded the cleric of target identification before striking!!

If you need to have the rules "allow that" you are playing D&D wrong. You need to have and use a spell capable of either faking the threat or actually doing it (but summoning a demon for intimidation is a bit expensive ... since you dont want to kill the prisoner) ... but since 4e dumbed down magic by giving everyone the same limited number of spells it seems to be bad for that by lacking flexibility.

+voteZDLR "More" isnt the same as "better". I prefer the three "Wil adventures" because the stories after that have become totally ridiculous and unconnected with the actual rules of D&D AND common sense. That stupid "Pacific Rim in Waterdeep" junk was really terrible and Chris is to blame. Oh and Wil was the only one who actually tried to ROLEplay, so it was a loss that he stopped doing this.

Muck006 Each gaming group is different, I think they were all roleplaying at more or less the same level. He's also the only professional actor that ever played with them, so there's that too. I personally couldn't dislike Wil more, everything from using the "depression" card to get out of attending conventions and otherwise doing things that honestly mainly benefit him, but anyway as a professional actor you'd expect him to be one of the better roleplayers. That being said, to say he's the _only_ one who roleplayed is false. Jerry's had a lot of great Cleric of Tymora moments, a LOT, you may need to go watch the new ones again but you don't seem to care for them so I doubt that will happen, but to say Wil's the only one who roleplayed is categorically false. Scott and Mike have also played their characters and made decisions entirely in the context of the role that they were playing; Jim's a narcissistic wizard who's also a borderline sex addict and he makes references to it all the time; Binwin is a fighter, "double axe to the back". They're playing their roles extremely well, if you ask me. Also, being that the games are live and on stage like it's not going to be the way the most hardcore "in character" games you've probably been in are played. The way they do the live games is good for the purposes of being live; the podcasts are more in line with what real D&D in a private setting would feel like.

The first four adventures were audio only adventures, this was the first time they made an event out of it at PAX Prime.

Not to worry, Season 7 should be coming out early next month along with PAX. I put a link in the video description that leads to Seasons 1-4 if you want to look at them first.

Well, i see it like this.. if one of your dear party members has a very good opportunity to save you, without him/her putting his or hers own life at risk by any means doing so... you'll be pretty pissed about it as well. No, i didn't think it was hard to listen to at all, i enjoyed the whole show like normal person, because i can see through scott and all his fake shit, the only thing that was hard was when Chris MF Perkins gave scott such a nasty ass burn, that scott will feel it for all eternity 1:16:57 - 1:17:30 i mean gee, that was savage as fuck, if you ask me, and he clearly deserved it, and more, because scott made Will quit the party.

Man, I miss Wil playing in the live games, he was so funny. Seemed like he was being brought back in the PAX West 2016 game ...
@BlackfootFerret7 жыл бұрын
Yeah, Wil did add something to the early games. You had three gamer geeks sitting around a table.. and then suddenly here comes this Charisma 20 character to join the party. Everyone sat up a bit straighter, people took the show a little more seriously. And Will was very entertaining in places. I still think Aeofel's death, resurrection, and rescue from Hell is some of the most METAL storytelling I've seen in roleplaying games. While I can fully understand while Wil might not have been a huge fan of the constantly recurring Acid Pit jokes, the adventure really did add quite a bit to the Experience known as Acq Inc.

In another development, Scott Kurtz's Table Titans Kickstarter just hit over 100k, with the stretch goal being the creation of a D&D podcast involving Kurtz and a group of his own construction, so it's a bit like Acquisitions Inc And Friends.

And sports fans will waste all day traveling to overcrowded stadiums to watch someone else play, get roaring drunk, and yell at the TV when they game home. One of my fond memories from college was witnessing someone throw a television set from a 3rd story dormitory window. They didn't even bother to look where it was going.. could have killed someone, or smashed a car to hell. They were upset their team lost. Hope you don't mind if I call our Nation's Pastime a waste of time.
