Thank you so much for inviting me. I love Star Wars, so to be a part of this was an incredible honor. The entire team and audience were such a joy to share the night with. ❤️
Always love Mike servin it up as GM. I like to imagine Chris Perkins is in a sith robe watching the game on a hologram. Also, Straub has a perfect droid voice here.
That would have been so epic. Although, he had sooo many great lines. Stole the show. Usually, that's Mike or Jerry, and they had their moments too, but Kris was amazeballs.
some pure SW comedy gold. Zeven, Human Gunslinger, "I do a flip and try and shoot the blaster from his hand, because I don't like killing" Sticks, Zabrak Technician, "I shoot him in the face."
my eyes buldged when i saw that JESSE COX WAS PLAYING IN ONE OF MY FAV TABLETOP GROUPS! INSAAAAANE! This was an AMAAAZZIING session to watch. I really hope you guys continue this epic adventure. I'd love to see what happens next. Seriously, the dynamic of group feels like the main ragtag cast of a new Star Wars tv series. Feels like i'm watching Rebels or Clone Wars. You guys have that same kind of magic.
i'll like to thank the sound work on this video, i had a guy sitting in front of me yelling out to them the whole way through this show. im glad no one else is burdened with his heckles. Thrips Gang!
Dang, I didn't know this system was so different. I mean, I at least expected dice to have numbers haha. It's pretty sweet. I'm glad they showed it off like this.
It was so great to see this live! I saw Jerry Holkins at the twitch booth and had to do a double take, I actually had no idea they were having an event in Australia. I only just missed the signings XD! I was in an X-wing pilot costume the entire weekend!
When I saw Jim walk on stage I was confused until he said he was introducing his "players" and I was beaming, then they announced Jesse Cox and I was out of my seat clapping and laughing looking like a maniac
I still prefer the D&D version of Acq Inc, just cause I like that system better, and I think it allows for smoother roleplaying. Still, I like that they're dipping their toes into different things. Also, Mike is an awesome storyteller and improviser!
This is my first time seeing this system in practice and honestly it feels a lot more open as far as roleplaying goes. Like a lot of cool things happened just because the group was able to use advantage creatively and contribute to the story in amazing ways. I've only ever played Pathfinder, but compared to that, Edge of the Empire feels very liberating. Not as much of a strict numbers game here.
Jerry and Mike have the best chemistry on stage,they would do much better if they were both playing. I'm left heartbroken without Jim Darkmagic in space
That role playing was on point. I'm not familiar with the fate dice system but it seems simple enough. I look forward to a second game in SPAAAAAACCCEEEEE!
That's not Fate. Fate is 4 fudge die. This has success, failure, threat, and advantage die. Way more complex but it does lend itself to more varied roll outcomes.
I would so very like to see this continue. Mike can't go to Aus anymore, but perhaps the game can just come to Seattle then? At least for of the people at the table live thereabouts anyway.
So is this going to be a recurring thing? Or was it a one-time deal? It seems like Mike had some other stuff lined up, and it sounds cool. If it is recurring, can we expect it to be live-show-only or an eventual online release?
I frickin` love you guys in Acquisitions Inc D&D and my wife and I have followed you since the beginning (have the videos downloaded on the harddrive so we can watch them on the tv.... which we do often lol)... so when we discovered you doing Edge of the Empire as well, wow it was like Christmas come early. Edge of the Empire is our second favourite `go to` game system (behind D&D) so what a rare treat to see you guys taking the crew into space as opposed to a dungeon.Never realised just how cool a DM Mike is (nice job *thumbs up*). Chris Perkins and Matt Myers are DM Gods, but Mike here proves equally up to the challenge .... really really nice work. Mike`s unique humour somehow augments this style of DMing really well. Pleeeeaaaseee do more of these EotE adventure videos. I know some will moan and go "oh man it`s not D&D, but hey.... this game is great too and deserves a good shot at the title :-)Really nice to see the creator of the D&D Adventure System Boardgame sitting at the table as well.
Meh Meh i dont get it, she's always nervous, her acting consists of saying what she would act instead if doing it. I have nothing against her, but i just dont get the appel
I'm not saying she's fake. She's a legit nerd girl. That's why she's cute. If she were one of those fake geeky girls she wouldn't be cute, she'd just be obnoxious.
For anyone who is still curious it's usually referred to as the Star Wars RPG, this is from Edge of the Empire. It's by Fantasy Flight Games and they have a system with the same dice called Genesys that can be for any kind of setting.
Just a heads up Penny Arcade staff - I was wondering why I suddenly wasn't getting alerts for the latest C team, and it turns out I was unsubscribed (by youtube). Anyhoo, re-subbed.
I've been diving through threads, trying to figure out what kind of ship the Mynock was. Was it the exact same ship from the opening animation, the one that looks like the Hound's Tooth? I was confused because Trassk is a Trandoshan and I figured maybe they all drive those :\ starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hound%27s_Tooth
Why is there so much individual hate being thrown around in these comments? I guess youtube...but seriously. Everyone was fantastic! My hope is to one day play an RPG with some of these guys. Can't wait for PAX Unplugged and I'm hoping to get into a Thornwatch playtest.
Thank you so much for inviting me. I love Star Wars, so to be a part of this was an incredible honor. The entire team and audience were such a joy to share the night with. ❤️
I've followed both you and Penny Arcade for years, so when I saw that you were in this I did an audible "Ooooh".
In the immortal words of Zev, "Let's do this!"
You were a joy to watch! Super fun! :D
you were great!
Oh. My . God been watching Jesse and PA since before 2012, then this happens. My years of loyalty, so worth.
Thanks for bringing me back to be a trash goblin again!!!!
You are highly entertaining :)
always a pleasure to watch you play in refuse..
Love holly! More holly!
Holly on stage makes everything happier
I don't think a better sentence has ever been constructed. You are the bomb, Holly!
Always love Mike servin it up as GM. I like to imagine Chris Perkins is in a sith robe watching the game on a hologram.
Also, Straub has a perfect droid voice here.
I still enjoy coming back and watching this. Shame it didn't get as many views, I'd love to have seen this continue.
Love that Omin is still being Omin even in space
molin1 I know right. I like when Mike GM's but I wish we could have seen a "Jim Darkforce" in action too.
pink phloid Jim as a Sith would be gold lol
lol agreed.
I especially love that Twilek are the half-elves of star wars - cause they totally fucking are.
After the revelation that K-3RS was the droid they were talking about I wanted him to say "I AM the droid you are looking for!"
That would have been so epic. Although, he had sooo many great lines. Stole the show. Usually, that's Mike or Jerry, and they had their moments too, but Kris was amazeballs.
some pure SW comedy gold.
Zeven, Human Gunslinger, "I do a flip and try and shoot the blaster from his hand, because I don't like killing"
Sticks, Zabrak Technician, "I shoot him in the face."
Mike and Jerry have a really good chemistry going with Grisk and Omin. I hope he is a recurring nemesis. Also Sticks is death incarnate.
my eyes buldged when i saw that JESSE COX WAS PLAYING IN ONE OF MY FAV TABLETOP GROUPS! INSAAAAANE!
This was an AMAAAZZIING session to watch. I really hope you guys continue this epic adventure. I'd love to see what happens next. Seriously, the dynamic of group feels like the main ragtag cast of a new Star Wars tv series. Feels like i'm watching Rebels or Clone Wars. You guys have that same kind of magic.
haha, for some reason, i was still expecting to see Chris Perkins walk on stage
I would've loved that too. I don't think Wizard's of the coast would let him play another company's game on stage though lol.
They left Chris back at the studio... To find out what he does when they leave him all alone, look for "Dice Camera Action sock puppet theatre" :D
I legit thought that Kriss was doing a cool robot voice intentionally until about 1:38:00 when he said he needed a lozenge.
I was watching this close to the front row. It was amazing!
I want to listen to Kris tell me a bedtime story and go to sleep.
His voice is normally soothing, but under the effects of Australian murder pollen his powers know no bounds.
Fatih. And the three little tentacles lived happily ever after.
This group had such great chemistry. I thought K-3RS' force "powers" were really funny.
It took a while to sort of figure out the rule set but love watching Mike DM and love the interaction (and inaction) during the gameplay. Thanks!
I was at PAX, too bad I missed this. Would've given everything to be there.
Don't Stop Thinking no way, dude loves you videos. Really helped me with understanding exactly how spell casters work.
OMG you guys have the best intro's ever.
Hey love your lore vids
Thanks Oolore :)
Darn it I watched this already. Was a good one might watch it again.
i'll like to thank the sound work on this video, i had a guy sitting in front of me yelling out to them the whole way through this show. im glad no one else is burdened with his heckles.
Thrips Gang!
Dang, I didn't know this system was so different. I mean, I at least expected dice to have numbers haha.
It's pretty sweet. I'm glad they showed it off like this.
Love the Adventures of space butterfly and the Aqu Inc gang. PA lets get more COX!
I really hope you all continue with this series. It's so fun. Please continue!
It was so great to see this live! I saw Jerry Holkins at the twitch booth and had to do a double take, I actually had no idea they were having an event in Australia. I only just missed the signings XD! I was in an X-wing pilot costume the entire weekend!
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
When I saw Jim walk on stage I was confused until he said he was introducing his "players" and I was beaming, then they announced Jesse Cox and I was out of my seat clapping and laughing looking like a maniac
Kris’ comedic timing is brilliant
I still prefer the D&D version of Acq Inc, just cause I like that system better, and I think it allows for smoother roleplaying. Still, I like that they're dipping their toes into different things. Also, Mike is an awesome storyteller and improviser!
This is my first time seeing this system in practice and honestly it feels a lot more open as far as roleplaying goes.

I've only ever played Pathfinder, but compared to that, Edge of the Empire feels very liberating. Not as much of a strict numbers game here.
2:34:22 - Showstopper. Sublime! Loved every second of this episode.
It would be awesome if they raffled off a spot at the table to play Thwip the next time they played XD
Or get Chris Perkins to play him. :)
I think the Star Wars setting is my favorite non-D&D setting for Acq. Inc.
I hope we get more of this sometime, great cast great experience
Listeners of the Campaign podcast will experience some whiplash...
Best RPG system out there at the moment imo. So much fun with these narrative dice
Absolutely need a running series of Star Wars. This was fantastic, and different enough mechanics that the game lends itself to being serialized.
Was this just a one-shot? Because I'd love to watch more of this.
It wasn’t a one-shot at the time, but since Mike has retired from Paxes it’s not clear when it’ll continue
Jerry and Mike have the best chemistry on stage,they would do much better if they were both playing. I'm left heartbroken without Jim Darkmagic in space
This video is so quiet
32:24 I swear the dice can sense it's Jerry! Even in this game he's not safe!!
That role playing was on point. I'm not familiar with the fate dice system but it seems simple enough. I look forward to a second game in SPAAAAAACCCEEEEE!
That's not Fate. Fate is 4 fudge die. This has success, failure, threat, and advantage die. Way more complex but it does lend itself to more varied roll outcomes.
We need more of these! With the same people! I love Jesse too, and he does so well here
Omg I need more of this. This was great.
Never thought I'd say this, but if I could only have one, I would take a season of this over the next season of AcqInc D&D.
I wouldn't mind the a team taking a break for acq-Inc in space, as long as the c team continued.
NNNNNOOOOOOOO. Got that great line from George Lucas. Best part of star wars. Besides the I hate sand monologue
This is a hilarious beautiful thing that happened. Thank you. :)
PLEASE DO THIS MORE!!!
This was awesome!
So good! Holly always plays her character hilariously. A robot that thinks it has force powers? Greatness! Mike as gm? Always fun to watch!
"they'll melt your heart" amazing.
Must see a continuation! Any plans to continue?
Zeven/Jessie is still not listed on the Ac Inc. "Portfolio" page.
Great show guys! I love this system, hope you play it more in the future!
Mike as GM holy shit see you in two Hours!
I would so very like to see this continue. Mike can't go to Aus anymore, but perhaps the game can just come to Seattle then? At least for of the people at the table live thereabouts anyway.
Anyone have a link to the app he's using for the dice rolls?
just search the app store for star wars dice roller. It is $4.99US, just so you know.
So is this going to be a recurring thing? Or was it a one-time deal? It seems like Mike had some other stuff lined up, and it sounds cool. If it is recurring, can we expect it to be live-show-only or an eventual online release?
Its funny how the others tell kris he can’t use the force because it isn’t real and not you know cause he’s a DROID!
FatalLordAce that’s because the force is kinda a myth in that universe and Jedi aren’t even particularly liked.
No Perkins? Sad days... but still very awesome show.
love this stuff still after all these years I still come back :)))
Hope to see more of this team and dm in the future!
Glad to see that Thwip made it and now he's in a better place.
I frickin` love you guys in Acquisitions Inc D&D and my wife and I have followed you since the beginning (have the videos downloaded on the harddrive so we can watch them on the tv.... which we do often lol)... so when we discovered you doing Edge of the Empire as well, wow it was like Christmas come early.

Very entertaining and strangely a fairly good way to learn the game.
Cant hear them there audio i can hear jim not rest
Is the audio for Jerry super quiet for anyone else?
I love jerry as a DM but as a player, particularly as the group leader he is brutal toward his fellow players damn!!
Loved AI in space !! More please . Mike ... Great job !
Thwips gang!
I'd join Thwip's gang.
Fun fact, Grisk's full name is Grisk Xavier Position. Grisk X. Position.
Yesssssss Holly. I am loving her in everything so far
Meh Meh i dont get it, she's always nervous, her acting consists of saying what she would act instead if doing it. I have nothing against her, but i just dont get the appel
Appeal*
AMEN!!!! Couldn't agree more.
She's a cute nerd girl. It's not a mystery.
I'm not saying she's fake. She's a legit nerd girl. That's why she's cute. If she were one of those fake geeky girls she wouldn't be cute, she'd just be obnoxious.
So what's the system called they're playing and where can i get it?
For anyone who is still curious it's usually referred to as the Star Wars RPG, this is from Edge of the Empire. It's by Fantasy Flight Games and they have a system with the same dice called Genesys that can be for any kind of setting.
This was amazing
Just a heads up Penny Arcade staff - I was wondering why I suddenly wasn't getting alerts for the latest C team, and it turns out I was unsubscribed (by youtube).
Anyhoo, re-subbed.
Anyone else look at the Star Wars version of the AI logo and see the Quebec Nordiques?
Looking forward to more Star Wars content coming from this great team!!!
i dont know how i didnt see this but! thanks!!
Is this module and the characters sheets available anywhere, does anyone know?
if you are talking module in the classic sense i think mike made it but the game is Edge of the Empire, just google it
omg, seriously guys? You even replicated the bluescreen compositing artifacts in the intro's space shot... Are you TRYING to make me feel ANCIENT?!
Bakamoichigei whoever is the producer of those intros needs a raise.
Pretty sure it's Kris Straub, a.k.a. K'thriss Drow'b, a.k.a. 'Superior Mike'. And the intros are _always_ excellent, amirite?! ;P
always love some acquisitions incorporated. unfortunately the audio was pretty quite, with the exception of Mike, and Jerry.
what did the audience say at 2:26:19?
Why didn't he say "Crack the THWIP"?
so is this a new series because I love you guys if it is!
That intro fanfare straight from HoMM 3
I need more of this please
Love this game!
I've been diving through threads, trying to figure out what kind of ship the Mynock was. Was it the exact same ship from the opening animation, the one that looks like the Hound's Tooth? I was confused because Trassk is a Trandoshan and I figured maybe they all drive those :\ starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hound%27s_Tooth
I would like to see a another one , I so like that .
Oh man what is this I love the live shows
Jesse was in Acquisitions Incorporated ? Holy hell.
More please?
Will this be happening again this year?
You guys got me into dnd again
44:50 That is why Kris Straub is amazing.
I want more of this!!!
Come to the UK next. I will guest star!!!
9:01 for that Patrick Rothfuss Bullshit...
Did they never revisit this?
2:09:23
XD Love those hand motions!~
Kris is so great
26:06 that is how you do it XD
When is next?
Why is there so much individual hate being thrown around in these comments? I guess youtube...but seriously. Everyone was fantastic! My hope is to one day play an RPG with some of these guys. Can't wait for PAX Unplugged and I'm hoping to get into a Thornwatch playtest.
