Acquisitions Incorporated is a Dungeons & Dragons party starring in a series of online Actual Play adventures since 2008, originally in podcast format but nowadays mainly in live shows that are published on YouTube. A collaboration between Penny Arcade and Wizards of the Coast, the series was originally created to showcase the then-new 4th Edition of D&D, but soon evolved into something of an improvisational Comic Fantasy thanks to the fun dynamics between the players and excellent Dungeon Mastering by the WotC producer Chris Perkins.The plot centers on the (mis)adventures of the eponymous Acquisitions Inc., a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits banded together in a pseudo-corporate formation on a quest for fame and wealth. Originally consisting of The Leader Omin Dran (Jerry Holkins), The Big Guy Binwin Bronzebottom (Scott Kurtz), and The Smart Guy Jim Darkmagic (Mike Krahulik), they were later (temporarily) joined by a number of corporate "interns", a full list of whom and their associated tropes can be found on the characters page. In late 2018, Chris Perkins stepped down as AcqInc's Dungeon Master and handed the reigns to fellow WotC producernote and Perkins' own DM Jeremy Crawford.The series began as podcasts, available for Archive Trawling at the official WotC website, before transitioning to live events at Penny Arcade Expos around the United States, which can, nowadays, be most easily viewed on YouTube. All adventures to date are listed in their official Portfolio, as well as our own recap and timeline pages. For a behind-the-scenes look into the AcqInc history, check out this interview with Chris Perkins (be warned, however, that it spoils elements from pretty much every game during his entire tenure).In 2022, Penny Arcade announced that they were concluding the original run of Acquisitions Incorporated, but that a "Series II" was in the works. In March 2023, a Kickstarter was launched for "Acquisitions Incorporated: The Series 2," a ten-episode video series commemorating Acq Inc's 15th anniversary.Related media include: Acquisitions Incorporated: The "C" Team is a spinoff series featuring Trystan Falcone, Kate Welch, Kris Straub, and Ryan Hartman, DM'd by Jerry and presented in association with Hyper RPG. The show ran on the HyperRPG Twitch.tv channel for four seasons, from March 2017 to November 2021. Table Titans is a spin-off of Kurtz' webcomic PvP that features a tabletop group; and Val's character in Season 2 is Binwin's niece Valeria Bronzebottom. Binwin's Minions is a further spin-off of Table Titans, featuring Binwin starting his own adventuring group after leaving AcqInc. The Force Grey: Giant Hunters campaign finale tied in with the AcqInc PAX West 2016 live game, taking place at Stratovar's castle right after Omin's party leaves. Dice, Camera, Action!, also DMed by Chris, lent out its party members Strix (played by Holly Conrad) and Evelyn (Anna Prosser) to AcqInc a few times. In turn, Omin and Binwin have appeared in their show. The entire party from this show ("the Waffle Crew") also participated in a full crossover with the "C" Team which was dubbed "Waffles Inc." After DCA was cancelled in 2019, Evelyn joined the "C" Team permanently fourth its last season and both she and Strix became regular members of the main show. Card Hunter has received an official Acquisitions Inc.-themed Expansion Pack in April 2016, containing six custom adventures that you can play through as Omin, Binwin, and Jim (watch the trailer here). Neverwinter, meanwhile, got its own AcqInc-themed Expansion Pack, titled The Heart of Fire, in 2018. Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms includes both the main and "C" teams among its character roster. (It also includes other characters that have appeared in AI, Binwin and the Waffle Crew, as tie-ins for Binwin's Minions and Dice, Camera, Action! respectively.) Acquisitions Incorporated received its own official D&D Sourcebook in 2019. The tabletop game Clank! released an AI-themed Legacy version. | |

All There in the Manual: The official Wizards of the Coast podcast did a few episodes about converting the Acquisitions Incorporated characters to D&D Next, which helps explain why everyone's abilities have changed so drastically between seasons 5 and 6. Among other things, the mechanics for Wizards were still in early beta, the new Fighter mechanics were very different, and Aeofel is technically a Cleric because an Avenger class/build hadn't been designed yet. | |

The Caper | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_1b65eaf3 | comment |
The Caper: Given how the party goes by Acquisitions, getting expensive stuff out of secure places is their nominal business. In reality, they have a rather mixed record: Their first proper heist had been in "The Ambershard Manor", where their main goal had been to acquire a piece of magical armor (as well as to screw over Binwin's ancestral enemies). They did get the armor, but lost Aoefel to an acid pit. Part One of The Series sees the party breaking into a secure, heavily-guarded vault to acquire a piece of the Rod of Seven Parts and thwart Auspicia Dran's plan to acquire Acquisitions Incorporated. This one goes surprisingly well, despite multiple complications. In season 12, Jarlaxle hires the party to break into the bank vault of a devil-worshiping cult, which goes very, very awry "thanks" to both Viari and Jim's antics. | |

Obligatory Earpiece Touch: Invoked. The "C" Team, where the players have agreed to touch their temples whenever their characters confer with each other telepathically, as opposed to voicing their dialogue out loud. This happens at least Once per Episode, if not more often. | |

The GM Is a Cheating Bastard: Halfway during the Battlegrounds game, Pat realizes that guest DM Mike stacked the game with Dexterity checks in order to screw over Omin (who has a -1 in that stat), since in-universe Jim is currently mad at Omin and running the event to get back at him. Mike is also fairly blatant about how he always places the safe zones as far away from the players as possible. | |

Player Archetypes | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_24f100b0 | comment |
Player Archetypes: Among the original core cast, Jerry is The Roleplayer (of the Brains subcategory), Scott is The Real Man (or at least plays Binwin this way), and Mike is The Loonie (helped by his very late entry into D&D). Wil sat somewhere between the Real Man and the Thespian, while Pat is a Roleplayer much like Jerry, which explains the two of them being so hand-in-glove all the time. It's difficult to say after just three games which archetype Morgan falls under, but Chris, judging by his decision to play Drizzt in his only outing as a player, is probably just a plain ol' Munchkin (to his defense, he does role-play Drizzt very authentically). | |

Deliberate Injury Gambit | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_34e2157 | comment |
Deliberate Injury Gambit: It's a common tactic of the team for Binwin to charge in and get surrounded, whereupon Jim drops a fireball on all of them, Binwin included. Binwin is not always in on this plan but generally comes out of it looking better than the bad guys. This happened so often in Season 1 that the players joked it was an all-purpose plan: "When in doubt, set the dwarf on fire." In fact by Season 3, they've learned to use it to their advantage, where Binwin gets temp hit points when he gets wounded, and Jim gets better stats to hit enemies if his friends are in the field of attack. | |

A Birthday, Not a Break | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_34e89418 | comment |
A Birthday, Not a Break: Seems to be a recurring theme: The entire season 6 misadventure in the lizardmen temple takes place on Aeofel's 142nd birthday. The first mini-episode of season 10, meanwhile, takes place at Jim's 40th birthday party. The season 11 opener concerns the acquisition of Whelm a present for Omin's birthday. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: Basically invoked by Omin in season 9 part 2, when he describes the sheer awesome of the beholder tank hurtling through the Underdark with a drider sitting on top of it and svirfneblin hanging off each of its eye-stalks, while "Born to Be Wild" is playing. Too bad they are attacked immediately thereafter and don't actually get to make this happen. Notably, Viari's entire fighting style relies on this to justify such things as conveniently placed chandeliers and sneak attack opportunities for combat advantage and massive damage. It helps that Chris really digs Rothfuss' deliveries. | |

Stable Time Loop: Thanks to strange non-linear magics within the "Wandering Crypt", The "C" Team were able to interact with a young Omin who promised to "remember them". Not only is the team released from the Crypt by a slightly older Omin who indeed remembered them, but once Omin grew up he made sure to arrange things so the "C" Team members would end up working together. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death is Cheap: This being D&D, the party members come back from the dead with increasing ease as they grow in level. The first party death, Aoefel in season 3, had been a major event, with the entirety of season 4 dedicated to bringing him back. Since then, Jim died trice (by a succubus in season 7, by wyvern in season 8, and by a plot device in season 10), Binwin was mauled to death by an ancient dragon in The Series, and Viari had his neck snapped by Drizzt in season 10, although this may have not been canon. This leaves Omin pretty much the only regular with a clean death record, despite several near-death experiences. Subverted in Season 11, where anyone who had come back from death (in this case, Jim) is now suffering a necrotic curse and the team is tasked with resolving it. | |

Untranslated Catchphrase | |

Untranslated Catchphrase: Aeofel's Oath of Vengeance is spoken in a fictional language invented by his player Wil Wheaton on the fly during his first session with the party. In later episodes, it becomes one of his catch-phrases, usually reserved for combat, meaning that it's spoken at least once every session, — but we never actually learn what it means. | |

Honor Before Reason: Two uses combine in the third season. First, It's Personal for Binwin when the party is raiding the home of Clan Ambershard, which had ruined the Bronzebottoms. So while everyone else wants to get the treasure and leave, he leads them straight into a confrontation with Leer, the Big Bad. This leads to Aeofel swearing his Oath of Enmity on Leer, and once that happens, he pursues even when (both in and out of character) he realizes it means getting separated from the team. Which ends with Aeofel meeting his end in an acid pit. | |

The trend seems to have reversed in season 9, however, where Viari instead became his favorite Butt-Monkey, between having his pockets picked by a drider (doubly insulting, as pickpocketing has been V's shtick until then), and being nearly crushed to death by the beholder tank. | |

Critical Failure: In Season 2, a string of bad rolls by Jerry culminates during the final battle. With half the party knocked out and their backs against the wall, Omin breaks out a desperation Encounter Power to finish off the Big Bad... and rolls a natural 1. Aeofel uses his Divine Intervention power to grant him a re-roll... and Jerry rolls another natural 1. In season 5: In season 6, Omin rolls a 1 on his very first roll while the others roll well into the double digits. That roll being a Constitution save. In the PAX East game of Season 11, Kris makes his very first roll after trying to get on the show for years... and he critical fails, meaning his character goes insane. | |

Answer to Prayers | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_5de76bce | comment |
Answer to Prayers: At the climax of season 7, Omin, a priest of the goddess Tymora, has second thoughts about piloting a giant magical mech and decides to pray to his deity for a sign of guidance. Not just a mere sign, Tymora takes his call directly and tells him in no ambiguous terms to get into the mech so he can "fight the kaiju" a.k.a. the Tarrasque. | |

| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_60eac4ba | comment |
Off the Rails: During the "Paterfamilias" arc, Jerry was planning to cut Donaar's duel with the cultist leader short, so that the latter would become his recurring nemesis. Instead, Ryan powergamed the heck out of his character and unleashed so much whoopass (and completely consistently with Donaar's beliefs and motivations, to boot), that he killed his nemesis faster than Jerry could come up with a way to save him, forcing him to rewrite the Skolla plotline. | |

I Take Offense to That Last One: Kind of. In season 6, Jim theorizes that the party is in his mom and dad's basement when they find themselves bound to an evil ancient altar upon which thousands of people have been sacrificed. It's only when they notice that their bindings are made of sinew that Jim begins to suspect that this may not be his old folks' cellar. It would seem the Darkmagics are cool with human sacrifices, as long as they're kept classy. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: Set up early in season 8, even before the season's actual adventure is set up. Omin receives a letter from the Baldur's Gate chapter of Acquisitions Inc. asking him to mediate with the local authorities, so that season's adventure is essentially a detour. The Baldur's Gate story is the focus of "Playing With Fire". | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: If you stop the season 8 episode 2 intro when K'thriss selects from the chapter menu, you'll see season 6 conspicuously absent from the list—which may have something to do with it being titled "The Lost Episode"...

Jeremy Crawford has the A team encounter a Circus of Fear, where the audience raucously cheers on the carnage and mayhem, and encourages the PAX audience in attendance to play that audience themselves. The entire audience of the live show chanting "BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD!" in unison was quite affecting. The audience has kept up the Crowd Chant at following games, and will chant other words as appropriate (like "CHEESE! CHEESE! CHEESE!" when cheering on Bobby). | |

Total Party Kill | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_73f7b5a5 | comment |
Total Party Kill: Happens in season 1, when the party first encounters the Orcus cultists. Luckily, it proves to be a Hopeless Boss Fight rigged against them, as they soon wake up on an altar where the cultists plan to ritually sacrifice them, and the fight resumes with (slightly) evened odds. Narrowly averted in season 8, when another batch of cultists nearly wipes the party out in an attempt to scare them away from Dragonspear Castle (they fail). There are strong indications that that battle was also rigged against them from the start. In Chris's words, "technically" happens in The Series Part 2, thanks to the combined efforts of Isohedrus the dragon and an apparently post-Face–Heel Turn returning Aeofel. The entire party are out of hit points for about half a round before Viari rolls a natural 20 on his saving throw to stabilise, bringing him back up to 1. | |

Badass Boast: Aeofel, all alone in hell, facing Cetrine Ambershard and a Devil lording over a fortress full of minions and artillery, makes numerous claims of how he will extract a price in blood from all of them. Jerry/Omin is pretty good at these. | |

Utility Party Member | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_875d8ab9 | comment |
Utility Party Member: Played with throughout the seasons. After running into a couple nasty traps early on, Omin loudly contemplates adding a rogue to the party next—but their next hire is an Avenger, however (who has the worst luck with traps overall). Eventually, the token rogue Viari does take over Aeofel's party slot—but thanks to the new 5E rules, he more than pulls his weight in combat (and traps haven't been as common since his debut, either). Actually invoked during the "C" Team games - Jim has acquired a ridiculous number of non-combat spells because Mike thinks they're cool. It's how he hazes the new people: trapping them in a demiplane. | |

Deconstructed Trope: A big part of The "C" Team spin-off series seems to be applying reality checks to the Heroic Comedic Sociopathy of the "A" Team, e.g. many of the NPC deaths that were brushed off or even Played for Laughs in the main series, from Splug to Jeff, come back to haunt Acquisitions Incorporated in some way. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: After Viari drops a chandelier onto the last batch of bad guys in season 7, Chris lets him roll all of his dice at once to determine the damage it does to them, knowing full well that they won't survive this. He probably did it because the game was running late and they still had the True Final Boss to beat... | |

Wham Episode | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: A double whammy in season 8 part 2. Not only does Viari come back from his bus trip to bump the party size up to five for the first time in the series, but Chris also does some Arc Welding to introduce Omin's long-lost older sister first mentioned in season 4 — as an evil cultist fighting the heroes. "Part Two" of The Series. The party nearly suffers a TPK against a white dragon and are forced to retreat, Binwin is dead, and the masked man that's betrayed them is Aeofel. The "C" Team opens with one, as the party realizes that Jim has somehow trapped them in an alternate dimension. Near the end of the "C" Team's first season, the party is suddenly confronted with the realization that the god Maelith, whom Walnut has been trained to hate for almost a hundred years, is actually just trapped inside an Outside God of unknown power, who is also K'thriss' patron, and is being drained of her divine power. For potentially thousands of years. | |

Drizz't Do'Urden (Played by DM-On-Vacation Chris Perkins) immediatly declared that he had no less than FOUR priceless legendary artifacts on his person and simply got in the bin himself. | |

| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_a698ad42 | comment |
City with No Name: It is never explained where exactly season 6 (a.k.a. "The Lost Episode") takes place. In the end of season 5, the party travels from their home plane (the Nentir Vale, as established very early in season 1) to the Forgotten Realms, but something goes wrong and they wake up in a strange temple. Season 7 explains that the Darkmagic Estate crash landed near Waterdeep, so it can be presumed that the lizardmen found it while the party was out cold and dragged them to their temple. On the other hand, Omin's divine spells still work as if they were on their home plane (Avandra has no presence in the Realms, causing him to briefly lose his powers in season 7), while Danielle the Drow somehow speaks actual French, additionally implying a connection of the place to Real Life... Season 9 sees Danielle return in the Underdark, lending credence to TLE taking place on Faerun, but the questions of Omin and Aeofel's divine powers and Danielle's French are still open. | |

Retcon: In season 8 of the show, it's Portentia who went through a dungeon and vanished. In season 10, it was Auspicia. Then horrifyingly subverted when the "C" Team visited the dungeon itself — it's possible that neither of them came back. The two women Omin has seen as his family may not be his relatives at all, but monsters from the Shardling's Wandering Crypt. In the early seasons, Omin was born and raised in the Nentir Vale, but post-5E, he is officially a native of the Dessarin Valley. Word of Jerry is literally that the "dark god Retcon" is to blame for this. | |

Omin, Jim and Viari have all been turned into children, and their childhood phobias have returned - but they still have the minds of adults. This doesn't stop Jim and Viari from taking off their clothes, giggling at each other, and touching butts. | |

Extra-Long Episode: The season 9 finale is over an hour longer than the previous live games had been (3 hours instead of regular 2), probably because the organizers realized that they have run late every time. Before that, the season 8 finale had been 30 minutes longer than the usual episodes, but it wasn't planned to run that long (and was more than likely the final straw that led to the AcqInc regular time slot at PAX being officially extended). | |

His phobia of acid ultimately wins over the Power of Friendship. Wil and Mike actually play this entire scene out over the gaming table. | |

During "How Not To Host A Murder", Jim is killed and his soul is sucked into a gemstone. At the end of this and into "ISTAR Facilities" immediately afterward, the players joke about how the soul (and the gemstone) had to be, ah, forcibly reinserted into Jim's body. For most of The Series, Jim keeps a piece of the Rod of Seven Parts safely, as Mike puts it, "keistered". | |

Luckily, he manages to regain control and get rid of it before it causes any real damage. Season 11 introduces Whelm, a sentient warhammer that really wants to be owned by a dwarf and is willing to take over the minds of non-dwarves in order to achieve its goals. Omin eventually manages to snap its current host out of it and strike a deal with Whelm itself in order to safely take it with them. | |

Cliffhanger: "Dragons Over Easy" ends with the party attempting to sneak out of Dragonspear Castle with a clutch of eggs, past a green dragon and its minions... only to run head-on into a second green dragon. This was a result of the event running fifteen minutes over before the party had reached the final encounter. Similarly, "Playing With Fire" ends with Portentia Dran revealing that her and Omin's other sister sent her as advance recon in preparation for buying out Acquisitions Incorporated from him. Jerry is fond of ending episodes of The "C" Team this way, usually eliciting cries of protest from Amy and Kate. Once he took over the DM position, Jeremy usually ends his games on cliffhangers. | |

Audience Participation | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_dd91f8d8 | comment |
Audience Participation: In the very first live game in season 4, the DM asked the audience to vote via phone messages to determine what the party had to do to activate the portal to Hell, whom the fire ballistas fired at (thrice), and which monster would be the final boss of the game. As the party descended into Halaster's labyrinth in season 7, Chris came up with a way for the audience to participate in live events: whenever someone at the table said "green flame" or mentioned fire of said color in any way or form, the entire crowd was supposed to echo it (which, apparently, is a reference to Big Trouble in Little China). By season 8, it seems to have become a meme, since every fire in the Forgotten Realms is now apparently colored green—to the delight of the cheering (and diligently participating) audience. In season 9 part 2, Chris lures the audience to imitate the pitiful cries of the svirfneblin being slaughtered, and the crowd runs with the idea so well, the players are mightily creeped out. The "C" Team has Twitch chat members, referred to as "the Shadow Council", send "bits" and hashtags to earn the use of advantages for the players; and they're also polled to determine aspects of the game itself (such as which choice of two enemy types the players will fight in a later encounter). In exchange for their support and donations, the subscribing members of the Shadow Council are rewarded with varying boons themselves (e.g. gift certificates from show sponsors) any time the players roll a Natural 20. Jeremy Crawford has the A team encounter a Circus of Fear, where the audience raucously cheers on the carnage and mayhem, and encourages the PAX audience in attendance to play that audience themselves. The entire audience of the live show chanting "BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD!" in unison was quite affecting. The audience has kept up the Crowd Chant at following games, and will chant other words as appropriate (like "CHEESE! CHEESE! CHEESE!" when cheering on Bobby). | |

Continuity Creep | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_de7891ec | comment |
Continuity Creep: While the series has never been particularly episodic, most of its early episodes could be watched standalone, but starting about season 8, Chris began re-introducing characters from the earlier episodes, creating a much more cohesive continuity, such as Omin's sister(s) from season 4, Danielle the Drow from season 6, and Percival Darkmagic from season 5. And then Aeofel comes back as a bad guy and almost kills Viari in The Series "Part 2". Furthermore, all episodes since the cliffhanger reveal at the end of The Series Episode 8 comprise an on-going Dran Enterprises arc, which concerns Omin's older sister's plans to buy out Acquisitions Incorporated from Omin and shows no signs of winding down. The "C" Team is also continuity-heavy, as Jerry has stated it was made with the intention to explore his own AI headcanon. | |

A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Chris gives one to Patrick in part 2 of season 9, when Danielle the Drider manages to pick his (and Binwin's, for a good measure) pockets while pretending to hug them out of joy (after a similar incident happened in part 1 with Viari doing the pickpocketing), and it takes Viari a full ten minutes to remember to check his gear. Not to be outdone, however, Viari then bluffs her into returning what she stole back to him. | |

Given how helpful his usual demeanor is, however, he is Affably Evil, at his worst. | |

Running Gag | |
| Acquisitions Incorporated (Podcast) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Plenty of examples. Jerry rolling ones, Binwin getting caught by traps, no one being able to pronounce Aeofel's name, Jim setting Binwin on fire, and Scott getting his teammates killed. In season 5, every time Jim Darkmagic's cousin Olivia makes a comment, Mike mutters "Shut up Olivia." Everything to do with Aeofel's fatal encounter with an acid trap and the lingering trauma from that encounter. Chris Perkins makes a point to include more acid in subsequent adventures. Ever since Pat joined the team, someone makes a joke pertaining to slow writing at least once per season at his expense. Ironically, that "someone" is usually Scott, who has a well-known propensity for Schedule Slip...invoked Chris using some arbitrary word like "several" or "contingent" to describe the number of guard NPCs present, and Pat immediately asking him to specify how many there are in case a fight breaks out. Also, are there any chandeliers in this room? At some point in The "C" Team, Jerry started prefacing his location descriptions with "Imagine, if you will, a dark X...", where "X" can stand for anything, from a lake to Applebee's. The players soon picked up on this and started coming up with outrageous "Xs" to insert at comically appropriate moments. During Franchise Opportunities, every interaction between Donaar and K'thriss calls back to when the dragonborn noble accidentally ended up tipping a dirty and disoriented K'thriss. From the 2017 Twitch Con Special live game: Kate would like to remind everyone that she's playing a dog. | |

Come season 9, where Omin's sister Auspicia plans to buy out and restructure Omin's company, and the entire party is openly questioning the previous policies when made aware of alternatives, and Omin becomes increasingly irritable, as he feels his control over it slipping, going as far as snap at Viari for showing too independent thoughts. | |
