Acquisitions Incorporated is a Dungeons & Dragons player group staring in a series of podcasts and live shows originating in 2008. What started as a podcast collaboration between Penny Arcade & Wizards of the Coast soon evolved into one of the most anticipated parts of the yearly Pax Prime events.
DM’d by Wizards of the Coast game designer Chris Perkins, the plot centers around the multiple misadventures of a quasi-corporate organization (Acquisitions Incorporated) on a quest for fame, gold and fun.
Here’s the latest episode from Pax Prime 2015 where our intrepid heroes journey into the demon-infested Underdark.
The Dungeon Master has his hands full with this crew, and while he doesn’t always run things Rules as Written, Chris is a great example of how to to improv and keep the game moving at a fast pace.
You can find a complete list of both podcast and live play video recordings at the Penny Arcade site.
