Chris Perkins IS the Acq Inc DM who carried the franchise for over a decade. I'm ecstatic he's back.
CHRIS! CHRIS!! CHRISSSSSS!!!!
shout out to BronzeBottom
We need guest appearances from Scott/Binwin and Wil/ as animated pool of acid, like a gelatinous cube of acid, possessed by the spirit of Al.
I’m so glad he’s back! At the same time, it’s entertaining to see Crawford as one of the players haha
he's back? this wasn't a one time thing?
I had no idea how much I missed Chris Perkins. And that is no knock on Jeremy, who has been perfect in his absence.
I’ve been missing Perkins’ DM style ever since DCA ended. Very excited to have him back-it’s not a weekly show, but I’ll take it!
I miss DCA
@@marleydepew8229 Same. My first D&D live play, kinda shaped how I play and DM, too!
I have to admit, I teared up when Chris stepped on to the stage. He is, and always will be, my DM goals. I am so excited for this to continue the way Lathander intended
Oh also I LOVE that Jeremy is playing Vi as a PC now. He is such a fun player. I'm so stoked for all of this.
PRAISE THE MORNING LORD
Always imagined vi with a cigarette holder.
I know everyone loves critical role, but AI is the Og and they hold a place in my heart. Love all you guys do, also if you don’t have the blanket they put out it’s rad.
CR is a bag of wank alongside AI, doesn't come close. Bunch of overexposed voice actors putting up their weekly game to milk the peasants of their last few coin.
AI in its golden age (Chris,Jerry,Mike,Scott,Pat,Will) was a billion times better than anything CR did, but alas the star has fallen.
CR has its funny moments, but they are few...burried in hours of boring """"""dramatic"""""" role-play.
I wish AI had their own cartoon series.
I've never actually been able to get into critical role, AI has always been fun and funny. This is my jam!
@Wolf Rine Chris D. Will need a team of that but yes

What a hero!! Thank you so much for this :)
J.craw was good, but for me, Chris is part if the acquisition incorporated team and feel. It's just so nostalgic whenever I see pat, Jerry, mike, Scott, will, ect
im glad Heryr and Mike are returnng, but rerally want one more of the OGs, i dont car eif its Binwin, Aoelfel or Viari, jsut gimme ONE MORE!! i also like Morgaen, and Certinty, i dont mind Bobby Zim but i DESPISE Evalyn the dingy papdin who spends eveyr combat castingf spells instea dof actually being a paladin, and the dingy crap is like chalk on the chalk board of my soul.
So nice having Chris back at the DM chair! Like a warm but extremely dangerous hug…
Hug an owlbear at your own risk.
Chris Perkins and Evelyn together again! Glory to Lathander!!
I was about to go to bed listening to this, but as soon as Perkins walked on stage I decided I wasn't sleeping anytime soon. I enjoyed this so much, makes me wish I had just bought that weekend pass and gone to PAX! Next year for sure. ❤❤❤
Smae, little watch before bed and finish another time.. ended up watching the whole thing.
Its going to sting tomorrow, but soooo worth it! :D
"Pitty a natural 1 always misses...😈"
Never before have more duneon mastery words been spoken, and I am so fully here for it! 😂
Me at the beginning of the episode: Well this should be a good one I hope.
Me at 19:17: NO WAY!
I am actually in tears!
YES!
Was in audience. We were going NUTS when Chris walked out.
Words escape me to describe how it feels to see and hear Chris in the DM chair. I can only pray for a return of DCA
Same here.
I learned recently that the DCA crew still play with Chris, and the story has kept going but they don't stream it any more, which is the biggest punch in the gut i've had for a while. They should release it in book form.
@@kieran10202 I've heard that as well. We may never have the Waffle crew back, but at least their story continues.
Tbh if dca continued where they’re at with a book for the timeskip I’d be so happy I miss them so much
1:49:36 - Jerry rolling poorly will never not amuse me, and somehow this was even funnier than his usual rolling 1 on a dex check _with a -1 modifier._ 😂
This is the fourth time this has happened and it's still hilarious.
Great to see Chris Perkins' reappearance, but hard that Jim wasn't there too... Wish he would come back 🙏 Hasn't been the same without him...
Jim will be back for the taped episodes later this year. Check out the Kickstarter currently happening.
Jim is coming back in the series ❤
Okay....deep breathe....I absolutely support and Love Chris Perkins!!! So glad to have him back. Mr. Crawford was a different style of DM...So let me add as well.... Thank you Jeremy for your time and creative story telling. Now. Would Scott, Pat, Mike, Jerry and Will please do a one shot?
Very unlikely we'll see Scott again.
@@michaelrupp9288 Will may be difficult with his multiple engagements as well...but a one shot would hit the spot. Good adventures!
@@michaelrupp9288 why what happened
@@iancasleton6356 Scott Kurtz had a fallout with the P.A. over ownership of Acquisitions Incorporated. (Basically, he thought he should be part owner.) He also burned bridges with Kris Straub, among others.
Chris Perkins is awesome and the best part of these goofs
Having Perkins as DM and Crawford as a player brings back some of the best bits of the banter of acq inc
I'm always inspired by Chris Perkins as a DM; so glad to see him in this chair again.
Yay! Chris Perkins is back!
seeing Perkins again on the stage at a giant A-themed show is a Big Deal.
very much looking forward to season 2; the kickstarter season (i.e. let the viewers pay directly for what they'd like to see)
You know, Evelyn's head would explode if she learns that Lathander doesn't exist on Greyhawk
It wouldn't be D&D without at least 5 minutes of examining innocuous fruit.
I love Acq Inc. They're told they've been transported through time to another world for reasons they don't understand and nobody thinks to ask the locals what year it is.
I missed these! 20 minutes in and this one looks like a banger! Miss Jim though.
Jim will return for Acq. Inc. The Series Season 2.
Chris Perkins and the original Acquisitions Inc podcast waaaay back in 2008 was my gateway drug to D&D. So awesome to see him back! Will be fun to see what they do at PAX West. Maybe the prophesized return of Jim Darkmagic???
I haven't really been enjoying Acq Inc like I used to. I thought it was the newer players.
I was wrong. It was Chris Perkins. All hail.
Hail Chris Perkins! Also yes the new players are boring and annoying... Imo
It's a different type of comedy with the new players and the story thus far has been feeling lacking but I think that has more to do with the content and not the delivery. Like bulma episodes in the og dbz.
@@MrWickedsamurai I doubt better content would magically make these new players interesting or tolerable. Nothing about them is even close to being as entertaining as Kurtz and binwin. Even Jim would be better by far.
Omen was always the most boring and basic of the old group and now he's the entertaining one... Which is sad
It was the newer players. The old gang made comedic gold out of any non existing plot.
The golden age of Acqu Inc was Chris, Jerry, Mike, Scott & Pat, also with Will.
When only Jerry remained, the shows became quite boring. All strong entertainers were gone but one.
Evelyn & Xavier worked well with at least two other strong players/entertainers...but they can't carry a show on their shoulders.
Jeremy is great though.
Don't care for "Certainty".
@usern4metak3ns Something about Kurt always sat wrong with me though. Chris Straub is ok but his speech patterns lull me to sleep, and strix was mostly enjoyable when mike/Jim was there. Patrick has been my favorite by far. Having to wait so long between adventures has sucked, so now I'm thoroughly invested in vldl dnd.
Jerry is turning into The Penguin year after year
The Penguin if he was inspired by Steve Jobs.
Chris Perkins is such a huge inspiration, and a legend at what he does! Please tell me he’s going to be in Seattle for PAX West this year!!!
Im not crying, youre crying! You guys remind me of The Temptations no matter how many of you are there or in which order sweet music is made.
I appreciate each and every one of you at Acq Inc, been watching since day one and youve saved many a long drives or down moments.
I know everyone has their personal things about live shows or podcast or personallity but you all have brought so much joy.
GREEN FLAME!!!!!!!!!
Jeremy is an awesome DM. I never expected to like him as much as I did. But Chris Perkins is incomparable, the very best.
*gasp* chris perkins is back
So glad that I gave this episode a chance! This is literally the first episode that I've watched since JC took over DM duty just after Dragon Heist came out.
It feels so god damn good having Chris Perkins sitting back on his rightful throne as the DM of Acquisitions Incorporated.
Perkins is the man who make me want to be a DM. Seeing him at the top of the table made me so happy.
I screamed when Chris Perkins came out !! Bruuuuh welcome back.
I cried when I saw Chris Perkins. Actual tears. I'm so happy.
Now that Chris is back, I can finally enjoy Acq Inc again ! I'm sure Jeremy's good but it never felt right for me. Welcome back Christopher Zarathustra !
Imagine a dark delight. Like a "woohoo" in shaky italics.
Jeremy Crawford cosplaying as Vi is something I never knew I needed until I received it! Fantastic job, everyone.
But the seat was not lowered so he / Vi would seem shorter.
I could swear he was dressed as vi before. Then again I have a vivid imagination and with his excellent voice acting it'd be easy for me to have dressed him up in my memory.
Chris Perkins has me smiling like I was during my first time experiencing the OG Acquisition Incorporated with Viari, Binwin, Omin, and Jim. I discovered them in the mid 20 teens when I was in college. It was always such a joy and I shared it with my friends who had never played dnd. Eventually we would go on to play dnd together fairly often, playing in my friends grandma’s house when she was still living bless Peg 💛, and have a great time. We recently got together and had a game in the summer despite us all being out of school and working all the time. This truly was a treat. Chris Perkins is truly a magic man and one of a kind dm. Welcome back my friend 🙏🏼 my nostalgia and imagination thanks you
I hope this means a new release of "The City Of Greyhawk" in a massive boxed set. I'll buy it.
I love Chris is back. But the show needs Jim and Viari tbh.
Absolutely. I barely made it through the last couple of episodes, no comparison at all to the AI golden age where everybody was laughing their assess off, especially the crowd. Look how tame they are.
Chris, the DM god, 3 strong veteran players (Jerry, Mike, Pat) and two or three good supporting players. (Xavier, Evelyn, Holly, Kthriss and MORGAIN of course). Even Jeremy as a surprise DM/Player would be great.
I want a Wil cameo at some point.
I much prefer Chris's DM-ing. I've really missed him at the table as he is probably the biggest influence on how I try to run games
Thank you for series 2 for this old geezer been here since.... I don't know, can't remember that long ago ( circa 2008 )
The Drow from ipanema.
...Tall and tan and recluse and sneaky
The drow from underdark a' goes walking
And when she flashes, daggers the passersby
Goes "A-a-a-a-Hrgh!!
When she stalks she's like a mamba
When she lurks, she's invisible trauma,
That swings so cool and slays so mental
That when she passes, each one she slashes
Goes "GHAA-RRG-ah.."
Sometimes I forget that, at their heart, a lot of these folks working on D&D are just big nerds who love to play. Seeing Jeremy play feels cathartic. He looks like he's having a blast.
Oh Perkins…what a glorious time to return. Some blame our dark timeline on harambe, but hear me out…
Good game! They had some kind of plot you could relate to and understand again :)
Hope „series 2“ will give opportunity for the charakters like Evelyn to have some development again elevating them from their „live show stereotype“ to more relatable full fletched persons like it was in DCA.
Love it! Welcome back Chris.
Perkins! I'm so hype now! I've been waiting so long for this🎉
Wonderful to see everyone on stage.
Btw...."With D&D Beyond it's never been easier!" Jerry....2207...always be branding love dis guy!
For me, the golden age of Ac Inc was Perkins, Omen, jim, Binwin and Viari... I know I'ts almos impossible to get the crew together, but seen perkins coming back is awsome!!
Those are the ones I watch incessantly over and over again. :)
@@falls2shine712 me too... The arc of the mad mage was awesome, I watch till this day... But I can't rewatch most of the new stuff...
@@ChronusDio ha yeah! The ones I watch the most is ark of the mad mage and the live ones up until they entered hell. The whole hell adventure was funny enough, but when it got to the prison and simulation stuff, it was just too overly complex on the story, when the true potential always lay in the characters being given the freedom to play off of one another.
I can't resist reminiscing on the time Omin got run over by a wagon, put his hands to his destroyed stomach and said "hooo" XD
@@falls2shine712 I think my fav part was Jim using minor ilusion to trick Jeff into thinking he was a wizzard... Purest stupidiest thing to do, but that was a guy having fun roleplaying
@@ChronusDio Classic Jim XD
NGL i cried a tear of joy, when they brought out Chris on stage.
Great seeing the OG DM Daddy on stage 🎉🎉🎉
My small conrtibution to the story starts around 1:20:56. Im the one who made the elevator music suggestion.
THE RETURN OF PERKINS!
Before I ever tried D&D or played board games, I started listening to these podcasts starting from the very beginning when they came out. I laughed so hard and felt determined to learn all about Dungeons & Dragons. Seeing Chris Perkins all these years later feels so good. This man holds a special place in my memories and is part of the reason Ive made a ton of friends.
With a AqInc “reboot” coming so glad that they had Perkins back for nostalgia and to let Crawford fully embrace and embody Vi.
WE'VE MISSED YOU, CHRIS!!
Remember the first episodes, how far we've come, love it.
woo hoo welcome back!!!! wonderful ... I miss you guys!
So happy to see Chris Perkins again!
Only so far as the intro animation and I already love the 'clippy' style animated Ai logo!
Green grass? Nope. GREEN PLAINS!! 😂
Loved MR Perkins, MR Crawford was good if very different, I've also missed Scott Kurtz, he was a big heart (and humour) of the group; but I wonder if WOTC/Hasbro's implosion with the Open Gaming License/2023 Film will impact on AI's future. This has been a huge source of FUN for me since 2009!
Welcome back, Chris!
I'm praying Mike wants to come back, if not as Jim, then as anything. I don't care if he wants to be a tree in the background, it would still be awesome XD
As someone else stated before me. We miss the golden age of Acq Inc.
Double axe to the back!
Mike is coming back as Jim Darkmagic in our (newly funded on Kickstarter) Acq Inc Series 2!
@@pennyarcadeTV Thanks for that update! It is a major selling point by the way, worth hammering home(pun..lol), as it wasn't clear in this intro. Woot! Can't wait.
@@TheGamerGoons I think Binwin died to a beholder lol, but maybe he had a sister, with the most silkiest beard you've ever seen.
Mike tweeted that he'll be at PAX West this year, so we might see him there in addition to the second series.
Chris back first one I'll watch in years.
I like Jeremy Crawford as DM, but I really missed Chris behind the screen. Also, is Jerry afflicted by Wheaton's curse?
CHRIS PERKINS!!!!
What a wonderful intro. WWE superstar!!!! Chris Perkins
You all continue to make me smile. As always well done.
I missed Chris so so so much! J-Craw is good, but there's no substitute for the OG DM Daddy ^w^
Jeremy Crawford is a very good DM, but I am stoked that Chris Perkins is back!!!🙂🙃
Awesome to have Chris!!!! Loved it!
Chris was the DM for all the AI casts I first saw and that got me hooked...with all respect to Jeremy, it's great to see Chris back.
I got into production for shows like this. Can't wait to see it come together.
Crawford: "That's the city of Grey Hawk"
Me: "oh, f%#$ they gonna die!"
THE CITY OF GREYHAWK LET'S GO
Love that Chris is back. But really miss the old team.
I am sure these people are great, but I just can't get into it any more.
Mike constantly smoothing his jacket down has slain me
Grey Hawk and "mort" should have guessed mordenkainen was here reference. wait for jerry to roll a 1 oh wait Chris is here of course he will as his first roll with Chris back
PERKINS!!!!
I fricken love this game. Thanks folks, I have so much fun watching you people. Binwin needs to be re-hired. I will send a request to HR.
The fact they gave Chris a WWE Titan Tron intro I love it lol
hahaha so funny! Wish I could come to one of these Live!
THE RETURN OF THE OG
Sitting around playing Baldurs Gate 3 and feeling like I could use some background noise, so i decided to play one of the old Acq Inc episodes from back in the day for nostalgia....AND THEN I FIND HOT NEW CONTENT WHAAAAAAAAT
Awesome. Hey bud sit down eh . Haha . Wow so great to see more... please never stop.
I haven't squealed like a little girl in ages... Well! I still got it!!!
Miss ya Jim darkmagic
Does anyone know what the four letter puzzel was for and more importantly what the answer was and meant?
Perkins IS the reason I have come back.
THANK GOD CP is BACK
At the end, Holly Conrad was listed, but Xavier Woods played. Scheduling mix-up?
Also, "Don't touch that stone, it's concentrated Evil!" But seriously, I'm betting it's Tharizdun.
Nope, just a missed character replacement on the template that is now unfortunately permanent.
@@pennyarcadeTV Permanency is an 8th level spell, who's high enough over there to cast it?
TH-cam
A chunk of a Black Obelisk I believe. They have the power to warp reality. But their existence is but one of many secrets veiled by The Whispered One.
Oman first roll 🍥 is a one lol 😂 just like the old times I love it...
Amazing can't wait for the rest xx
I am so ELATED!!
Please bring Pax back to Texas. I'm sure if brought to Austin or Houston it would do so much better.
since 5-ish years I came back... and seems He's back too, Chris Perkins, the man who through the AInc PAX games thought me English.
Jasmine is a fantastic addition to the cast! She plays so well off Jerry and Xavier!
She's fantastic!
Her character & so called "humour" doesn't work for me at all. Hope Mike returns. The table needs at least 2 strong veteran AI players.
Man watch the classic episodes, how much they made each other and the crowd laugh their assess off. A far cry from the vibes in the last couple of shows...
@@prince-solomon I agree. All seems a bit forced,. I went back and started listening to the first episodes and you can tell the difference.
