Straub knocked it out of the park: that intro was fantastic!

[KingFudge]

I just realized...

The campaign was called "Part 1, " which initially sounded silly. But, this whole episode was about the one part of the scepter that they're looking for.

Well played.

[benreis]

This is what needed to happen. 2-3 times a year from a pax panel wasn't enough of a fix for me. This is the best.

[starwindm]

Well here we go… revisiting after 5yrs. I hope this holds up to the magic of its original airing

[ExhaustedElox]

I have never been so excited for a YouTube Series since it started. I have been on the Ac Inc. train since Season 1. I remember fondly hearing how Jim Darkmagic came into being (albeit in 4th edition).

[whithkerbithcuit]

There are no words that can explain the sheer amount of joy I am experiencing right now.

[omecronrodneydheel]

Even from the start, stroking omin drans ego is central and integral to the plot, and fun of this campaign. Genius

[ovipositionary]

So great; everyone brought their A game. I'm so excited to see Chris run a proper game with maps and a story and flavor text.

[scattershotshow]

Man, the chemistry between everyone is fantastic; and Chris is such a damn great DM, too. This is gonna be a exciting adventure.

[MikaeLG]

Mr. Perkins...you are indeed the greatest DM...period!

[hadrianvii]

An idea so good I can hardly believe it hadn't been done already. Thanks to everyone for making this show!

11:00 Omen: that's your department! Did anyone else picture Binwin behind a desk with a plaque saying "department of hostile takeovers"?

[Narfwak]

This is so wonderful, and we're been waiting for it for quite some while, but it's finally here! After a series of podcasts, a few off-shoots from those podcasts, then the increasingly grandiose live shows of PAX Prime to the laid back and relax "unplugged" sessions of PAX East the magic of Acquisitions Inc. is getting getting its own dedicated web-series! It looks fantastic, from the chemistry between Mike, Jerry, Scott and now Patrick to the lovely level of planning and delivery Chris Perkins brings to every table he masters... and, of course, the always welcome inculcation of poop and fart jokes from the whole crew to help move things along. I've been waiting for something like this ever since you guys did the very first set of podcasts that re-introduced me into 4E (and got me back into D&D in general) and I've been looking forward to a proper series like this ever since. That it's finally happening has me overjoyed.

Here's to even greater (and sillier) adventures!

[drunkenork]

I played Rod of Seven parts over a decade ago, awesome that Chris is running these guys through it, its an epic classic.

Will be tuning into all of these

[anmimc]

I love this series so much. Launched my love of D&D, made me fall in love with Kris’ sense of humor, and came out when I first got married. Tons of great memories.

[Davearmstrong]

It's crazy watching this as I see Rothfus at our local eatery often - usually with a stack of paper which I presume is the next novel(I NEED). Talked to him a few times as we tend to play board games there. Such a fantastic dude...

[ajpickett]

So much win, and the most classic, old school, epic campaign theme there is... BRAVO!

[PaladinGamingNetwork]

22:33 The best moment in the Series! I mean, I loved ALL of it, but Holkins is a God of the Humorous Anger bit!

[BlueDavrial]

I'm a relatively new fan of Acquisitions Inc but I am so glad to finally have a more common series to watch of them, instead of waiting for PAX

[anthonyhernandez]

I just watching the PAX games while looking into D&D and I'm hooked. I'm so glad you guys are starting a weekly series, I just subscribed. You guys make me wish my friends played D&D
