- Armed with the latest monster-slaying technology, the heroes of Acquisitions Incorporated undertake a perilous journey into a demon-infested Underdark. Dare to descend with Jim Darkmagic, Omin Dran, Binwin Bronzebottom, and Viari as they search for a legendary dark elf swordsman who, in his quest to put an end to the machinations of the demon lords, has lost his mind. Can the dual wands of Jim Darkmagic overcome the twin scimitars of Drizzt Do’Urden and rescue him from the brink of madness?
I am the guy who was given the figurine. I had him sign it the next day, and I gotta say chris is an amazing guy, he was super cool about everything.
Grats my dude! Super jelly~
MuffinyDeath I want to meet Chris Perkins!!!
any chance we can see a picture of it?
Noice! :3
That's awesome!!!!
By now, Pax D&D sessions are like Christmas - waiting whole year and totally worth it :)
+Yuri PRIME It's kind of ridiculous though. Currently they do I think two of these per year. I wish they'd have like, mini games in the form of hour-long podcasts or even videos on CZcams or Twitch, or even do one off games with Chris from time to time -- these videos are so incredibly popular it would be worth their time to do so. It really is like waiting for Christmas, though, not gonna lie. :P
+voteZDLR You couldn't get all of them together more often though, especially Perkins. if they were to play more often it would have to be a different story with different characters.
Miles Which is totally fine with me. Plus, due to the wonders of the Internet, they could actually do these online. I do think they'd prefer to do them in person (and they still can -- with some careful planning, of course) but if I was Chris or whoever makes these decisions for D&D at Wizards of the Coast, I'd be like, "OK, we're sitting on top of a promotional gold mine here -- can we get the AI guys together for more videos or podcasts a few times a year? We'll even pay them a little something". Having more Chris Perkins celebrity games, even if they're totally new and just made to promote the newest D&D books or whatever, will really help the brand. For example, if it wasn't for Acquisitions Incorporated I wouldn't be a TableTop gamer today. Because of their videos I got a chance to see what a game is like and I actually gave in and gave it a shot.
+voteZDLR i think it's also a case of "leave them wanting more" like i love these videos but a big part of it is because of the amount of planning and fanfare that each one has, a quality which will definitely be diluted by making it more often.
TehConqueror Good point. That being said, I don't know that they've found the sweet spot yet. Maybe they have, people get turned away at the doors, so many people want to see these games, but if they even added just one more session per year I bet they'd only get even more popular.
I think it was so awesome Chris gave that guy the miniature. I always knew/presumed Chris was self-conscious about his hair considering he always wears hats....like always. I think it struck a chord with him when the guy yelled "Bald is beautiful!" Perhaps I am wrong, but fear not Chris, your shiny dome is like a gemstone from Alustriel!
Haha yeah thats what it was. Im a fellow bald dude and i actually wear it with pride, doesn't bother me at all.
What figure did he give him? I cant understand what Chris says
A Raistlin figurine. Pretty sweet.
When was this said?
That was so nice. Chris Perkins is a wonderful guy.
"For a musician, he sounds kinda flat!" I fucking cried with joy. Perkins is a god
Perkins is feeling himself so hard in the costume at the beginning when he first walks out and honestly? The icon we should all aspire to be.
"For a musician, he sounds kinda flat!"
The one-liner of the session!
i bet in the 70's when they created this game, nobody suspected it would become a spectator sport :)
Did I was there. And we didn't expect it to last out the YEAR. :)
Video games too
Cannonbo it’s not a sport just like video games and golf
@@fantasyguy7135 if hunting, darts, and bowling qualify....
kvf271 it doesn’t the only thing that are sports are stuff that can kill u or where u have to improve on your body like racing or football
My god, those gargoyles were fantastic
+Athavan Rajasingham I'd love to find out of Chris wrote all those lines in advance or improvised them, because he did such a great job with his Statler and Waldorf jokes.
+EdwardHowton I listened to an interview with chris in which he said every game was improvised from the outset.
Glen Beach They'd have to be to get such funny moments. This stuff would be near impossible to write.
+Athavan Rajasingham I'm definitely stealing them for the next game I run.
+Athavan Rajasingham Yeah so damn good idea and nice improvisation on them.
"You don't kill other author's character... It's simply not done!". Best quote ever lol
I'd really like to see Chris running games again. He's The DM.
Good news!
@@PelicanOfDeath "Good news everyone!" - Professor Farnsworth
what is it professor@@maskcollector6949
@@maskcollector6949"To shreds, you say..."
I miss Chris as the DM for Aq Inc. It's just not the same anymore. The chemestry between Chris and the group was beautifull.
People always compare him to Mercer, but Perkins is the true genuine DM master. He makes the world wholesome and fun which is hard to find these days man.
I don't even think it's the chemistry between them. His personality and knowledge I think makes all of his games, even the one offs approachable and fun. Hopefully he'll start up another group at some point, it doesn't really matter who is actually in the game.
Honestly after Scott left, I kinda dipped out. The guys were a big part of me watching
I just watch reruns and listen to the old podcasts. The new group sucks.
I stood up and applauded at 2:08:38
Chris Perkins, you are a genius
can you write down what he says? can't get it :/
A2MD He says "for a musician, he sounds kind of flat"
thanks!
amazing
Someone needs to animate This WHOLE thing, unedited, even when introduces them!!
'You payed for the whole seat but only need the edge of it!...'
Absolutely loved the appearance of Bruenor incognito 16:20 !!
I can't stop thinking about when a dove flew out of Jim's mouth in the last adventure
I can't believe how entertaining this is.
sorry man i just paused at your name and i gotta ask is that your real last name?. Reason i ask is that Vogel is a well known name in movies because of a famous psychiatrist
It's my real name... 8)
John Vogel common german name. Means bird.
best group to ever be a part of are people brave enough to be nerds together
The creator of this map did an outstanding job!!!
Czar of happiness
3 years later and still holds up for a rewatch~
Here's to many many more years of good fun!
Bin: "Bitch killed your Panther, dude!"
XD It'd be funny if Bob actually wrote the Gwen was lost from Drizzt temporarily.
its cannon
Eli Gannon
Wait, Drizzt actually lost his Panther to AI? O.o
no he gave it willingly
Eli Gannon
I see. I have no idea what you're talking about XD
in the game when mike dm's drizzt lets binwin keep it and in the first episode of the new series it isstated that drizzt let them keep the cat
This is one of the best performances by the AqInc crew. I have re-watched it a couple of times now and it doesn't get old easily.
Amazed Perkins wore that hat for nearly 3 hours.
I love this. Acquisitions is the reason I started playing RPG's.
I wish they could just mass produce clones of Chris Perkins so we all could just buy the best DM ever.
+Higth115 I used to think he was the best DM too, but the guy who runs Critical Role's games is actually better. Don't get me wrong, Chris is a world-class DM himself, but the other guy has just managed to create a more memorable and vivid world. The AI games are almost "comedy" as far as genre goes.
+voteZDLR I think you mean Matthew Mercer? Yeah, no offense to Perkins, but he is soo much better.
Deniz Popov He's unbelievable. I thought I hit the master when I found out about Chris, but then I saw that guy and he's just unbelievable
voteZDLR Yeah, Matt's only problems are his mispronounciation of "Sigil" and his love for complex words 😂
Deniz Popov Which is interesting to think because he's a professional voice actor as well.
Did we all forget Perkins gave Jim like 3 books of awesome years ago? he can basically level himself to god-hood anytime!
Yeah, like wtf happened to those books... He can literally become so powerful he can solo Dritzzt.
hahaha right?
I think he lost them between the 5th and 6th season, and perhaps the 7th.
+Kenn K They've also gotten multiple bags of holding, a potion of strength, a silver chess set, that frog charm thing and probably other shit I've forgotten, as they have. It wasn't until 8-2 that they decided to start remembering shit like that. I always assumed it was because in the earlier days, Chris saw the game as more of a promotional stunt for 4E so he didn't bother keeping track of that stuff so much, and then later on they started paying more attention, but since it was once a year, it became easy to forget stuff like that. Now that it's twice a year and a big event they've become much better about it.
***** He got the followers like 5 minutes before Morgan shot an arrow at Binwin.
13:25 Ohhh and your names OMEN!
17:34 You just got OUTDRANED
42:06 I bet the Dwarf !

Was Scott sick?
He sounded somewhere between himself and Wheaton.
He did like six panels that day. I think his voice gave out
+Bakorafanboy13 Thought it was just me, sounded way off
Wheaton using Polyjuice Potion
+Bradley Neufeld Nice.
+Bakorafanboy13 I think he had a cold. On top of what Jessie said. Doing six panels by itself wouldn't have caused him to lose his voice like that, though, so it's not just that.
I hope when "The Doors of Stone" comes out, there is a small bit in there somewhere about a children's story about a clever bard who defeated the Chandrian by dropping a chandelier on them.
I love when Pat uses the inspiration you can see Chris' hand held out for the skull back and then it sort of goes away and slowly creeps in and takes it. Its the little things
That was freaking Epic. Best Acquisitions yet.
+Draikenx It's definitely the best set they've ever had. The adventure was good, as good as any of the ones they've done anyway. I wouldn't say it was the BEST, but it's not bad. Don't get me wrong.
***** True, guess I'm just a Mark for Drizzt.
+Draikenx Weeelll, there jokes were not really original, mostly from the past. "Their in the room. Did you roll a bard? ect." They ended with no storire, or any hook for anyone to lead in on. Just thats it! No 'Drittz gets up and insert plot development.' But I say it was average at best.
***** I hate to say it but you're kind of right. Chris is still the best DM I have ever seen in my life, but Patrick especially seemed almost agitated that he had to do it this time. The other few times he was almost sucking up to everybody, trying to become a more permanent fixture in the AI videos I guess -- but here, he almost came across as being a bit more pompous. Arrogant even. Borderline almost an asshole. I mean, it wasn't extremely pronounced but if you ever watch it again pay attention to him in particular. He seems peeved to be having to do this.
***** Well next time you watch it just pay attention to him, and like his facial expressions etc. He seemed peeved about something.
I'm only now reading Name of the Wind, thanks to my friends getting all the current books in Kingkiller Chronicle for my birthday, and this guy is a genius.
Watching in 2017. Loving these sessions!
he has boots of 'I don't give a shit' oh god lol, nailed me
My favorite part
Props to Perkins for keeping that hat on the entire time.
As I get more involved with D&D, I am taking pride in the fact that I know why Tymora is the PERFECT Deity for Omin. At first I was like, he doesn't seem very cleric-y... but then I discover Tymora is all about ambition and pursuing one's dreams. ie -- the perfect CEO. hehe
Is it just me or...does Scott sound...a bit different? His voice seems a lot deeper than every other time I've heard him.
+Edeinawc It was probably a microphone issue. I noticed during the entirety of the stream. So you are not wrong. Though, Scott could have con sickness, but then again is was super hot that weekend. But, I suspect a mic issue.
+Edeinawc Apparently he had done like 8 panels and had fucked his voice up a bit.
+Efreeti That makes sense too. I have done that before.
I actually think the voice suits him better O.o
+Edeinawc I amused myself a few times by jokingly thinking "He's finally hit puberty!". The series _is_ ten years old, so it wasn't that far off.
1:04:00 Drello! Drellow Drow, dry drame dris Drim Drarkmagic.
Mike (Jim Dark Magic) is like Data from Star Trek Generation.
"I just got that joke!"
"Data, that was 10 years ago."
That whole Drizzt fight is basically "psssh... nothing personnel... kid..."
Great as always, the only thing was they forgot that their Beholder-Mech had a handprint scanner, so Viari didn't even have to pick the lock xD
Excellent as always! It's great to watch Chris deal with the MOST disruptive players, and just move things along. Lol. Also, these set pieces are fantastic and I want that mechanical beholder!
I love these old sessions, it saddens me that the pressure of performing at a convention often disrupts the flow of combat or narration, and that the audio-quality of their "home-recorded" sessions aren't the best. I would love to see full narrative follow-through with these characters but as it is we only get these snippits
That was incredible. Chris Perkins is a god of a DM!
+kumikey I vote for Matt Mercer that does critical each week.
+Nathan Wubs I totally agree. I get that these PAX games are fantastic and wonderful and I love them, but Mercer and the whole Critical Role crew manage to bring the comedy plus some really compelling stories.
+Nathan Wubs to be honest, in the last episode of Critical Role Chris Perkins came to watch Mercer run the game and admired him, and Mercer admitted he was a big fan, so I would say they are equals.
Deniz Popov I did not mean any ammonisty. As I love them both. Just like mercer a bit more, and thing he is a bit better. That is my opinion who is the dm god. But hey it could be a patheon. With Matt on top and Christ on his right side.
He has Boots of I-Don't-Give-A-Shit. I would not have trouble believing that.
who needs a dictionary when you have Chris Perkins as a DM
Everyone. Just to understand him you need one. Or seven.
55:14 I never even heard the word Fastidious until Chris Perkins haha
I still have to wonder if that Hallister Statue they abbandoned a few sessions ago is still where they left it. I can Picture some enterprising thief going on a rampage in a weapon known to be owned by AI.
+Skye Silverwing dude, art locks
So late on this, but no worries man, they tossed a single stick on it. No one will ever find it : D
It's an art installation
Their retainers are still there trying to fix it. Bunch of level 0 retainers, should be up and running in another 10 years.
@@robertportersc Little do they know that if they flip to the back of the instruction manual, it does have a section in Common. And an auto-repair mode.
Patric Rothfuss' characters "flaw" says "if it's worth doing, it's with doing with style" xD
"Viari - basically Kvothe"
OMG too true.
Ah so that's why I cant stand Pat-i mean Viari
Who are you?
You can call me Aeofel.
Danielle: He did this to me.
#Awkward
This might be the single greatest D&D session I've ever seen in my life
It's literally like Christmas getting to watch these. Man, do I love these guys. Hope I can meet them one day.
DM Chris Perkins knocked this one out of the park! Great job!
somebody please give Chris Perkins his own TV show the best DM ever
2:03:10 "Huh! I thought they were supposed to be instrumental!" hahaha
How cool would it be to have an animated Acquisitions cartoon series? I'm not talking about it being on TV, but having a CZcams series would be so awesome
+The Magician Fuck yeah! That'd be absolutely sick!
Check out Penny Arcade's website or CZcams channel, my friend.
I noticed it a bit after i posted this . So much awesome. Thank you for the recommendation
They have a video game
Watching in 2020 like, "ah, simpler times."
Have you ever tried cooking yourself?
The beholder murdered itself...with itself... - death by beholdeception
Thank you Chris Perkins, we really miss you. Know the struggle. "If it's true" you never know with the internet. Either way, I really wish you the best, I couldn't do half of what you did without problems. Maybe, when you are ready, make the biggest comeback in rpg history.
You inspire me.
You're the best.
The underdark is my my favorite setting in anything from forgotten realms. Especially the drow, love this
funny how Pat says "You never kill another author's character" but isn't that what R. A. Salvatore did when he killed Chewbacca in Vector Prime?
and now the wait begins again
Chris Perkins..... You are such an inspiration to me as a dm. To define you in a word at this craft as a story teller unreal.
That was epic!! I loved the entire set up and the "dungeon tile" great work!
My day is made! I look forward to this All Year! Best opening animation yet!
This needs to be a TV series.
Thank you Chris Perkins and co.
I love all these guys! i cant wait till their next session!!! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO GUYS!!!!
The whole time they were fighting Drizzt. I was just thinking, "Oh if he rolls a nat 20...Salvatore will be VERY angry."
Those gargoyles were brilliant! They made me almost forget that prayer of healing has a ten minute casting time, and protection from good and evil only grants advantage on new saves for targets already under an ongoing effect, not an instant spell break. The rules of magic don't bend, but the rules of good theater can supersede them on special occasions. :-D
Thems more….. guidelines!
These guys are the reason i play D&D and other pen and paper games. so thank you very much.
Chris should be the only DM, and everyone should be able to play with him.
Chris tells some of the best stories ever
I love these guys. Hope they work out their differences. Thanks for posting!
Something to start off the school year with, wish it was like the old days though where they actually used to do podcasts. Always look forward to these though and always are hyped to watch them.
Chris Perkins for president.
He is Canadian, so not eligible.
The costumes are always so fucking glorious
I tried watching this on the live stream but I had such a long week and fell asleep. Thank the heavens it's up now!!!
I love this show buddy of mine told me to check it out and now we play DnD every Sunday
So did they pass?
What is going to happen to the company?
I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!
+Bakorafanboy13 FIND OUT NEXT TIME!
+Bakorafanboy13 They beat Drizzt Do'Urden, AND they "Acquired" his panther.
If they don't pass, Auspicia must be the kind of stupid who uses shoddy locks.
How would you gauge each character's performance though?
"Flabbergast didn't make it- Dizzt cut him up while he was crazy."
Boom. Explanation for why their performance evaluation was lost in the underdark.
I think Drizzt could give them a fairly significant reference.
I'm rather excited for the next season which I predict will be a lot more story based, in what has become one of the most interesting stories so far.
Chris: "Thank you for buttering me up."
A male from the crowd: "I can butter you up anytime."
Me: "Same."
The session was great as always, but that intro was transcendent. Well done Mr. Straub.
Best game I've ever seen. Don't ever stop Chris.
Man the live stream was great!! Can't wait for the next game!!
As a finnish person I find the way Chris pronounces Mielikki really funny. My-leakey.
I love Acquisitions Incorporated. Its still hilarious to this day.
Having started reading the Drizzt books about 2 months ago, having just finished Halfling's Gem, this brings an even bigger smile to my face. Guenwhyvar, dear Guenwhyvar.
22:52 - "drow with a heart of gold?"
37:15 - burn

1:11:25 - Viari does his thing
1:12:05 - a powerful wand
1:28:30 - the screaming of the svirfneblin
1:34:10 - the command word.
2:08:38 - for a musician....
Thank you for the timestamps!
bless baby, it's such a great first level spell in 5th edition
16:38 Jerry manged to sum up the entire series very well 😂😅
That moment when Rothfuss is behind the bar mixing drinks and carefully wiping down the bottles and the Barton, and we all wonder if he is about to speak the name of the wind.
.... What if they bring on Salvatore to play Drizzt?....
toonlink1995 that would be quite interesting
That would be awesome. Heck Matt Mercer, Chris Perkins and Salvatore would be an awesome game too.
Re-watching this..
I wanna know what other spells Flabbergast knew that he could teach Jim!
I guess nobody taught Jim how to negotiate.
so much fun. they work so well off each other both the banter and the adventuring. also, Chris is the best DM ever. cheers for the upload
Whoever does the animation needs to do the entire adventure. From the start! Those are as funny as the shows
I always look so forward to these! :D
Chris Perkins is the best DM on the planet.
Dying for you guys to put up the latest live Pax East game on the channel. Our stupid cable company was working on lines up the street and destroyed everyone's connection in my neighbourhood so after waiting 6 months to watch it, I missed more than half of it. Please put up soon so I can watch it. Always sooo much fun and this was extra creative with the switching of DM's and the catching that last exciting notice about a series!! Highly appreciate these games and channel. Keep up the awesome work!
thanks guys, that was superbly fun! congrats on an awesome adventure.
