About Acq Inc: Acquisitions Incorporated serves up locally-sourced adventure from convenient franchise locations across Faerûn. Their adventures began in 2007 with a podcast of three friends playing D&D, and inexplicably progressed to live games on-stage before thousands of audience members at PAX.

Thank you guys again for having me at the table. I had a blast per usual. And thanks to everyone for watching :)
You are hilarious, truly a pleasure to watch.
You are an invaluable asset to the company and anyone who cosplays as Powdered Toast Man deserves maximum recognition. What you did to that dragon will be discussed for aeons to come.
You were awesome!
Yeah X your awesome bro, I'm happy to see you apart of the team now. When you gonna continue your game?
Love you buddy!
33:15 - You can spot Chris Perkins in the crowd saying ‘Green Flame!’
That man is a legend.
Next to Chris is Mica Burton & Nathan Sharp
Omg that's adorable!! 🥰
1:54:50
Mike: "16"
Morgan: "Don't they take disadvantage tho, coz I'm in the long range?"
Mike (angrly throws the dice again): "The second one is a crit."
Morgan: "Eh ... I'll take the first one, tnx."
Mike (ready to roll damage): "Does the 16 hit?"
Morgan: "No, it does not."
WHAAAT? XD
"It's funny because I'm at the table" is one of the best things Xavier Wood has said during an Acq Inc. Episode. His sense of humor and his performance capabilities are incredible.
This game is littered with moments where Mike deeply regrets not looking over Anna's character sheet.
I didn't understand why the dragon didn't also drop her with the acid breath. Did Mike just forget?
@@drsch probably. I think she had plenty of HP to tank it, but it's all good.
@@drsch I think since Omin said he rolled 20, Mike didn't know he had +4 (+5 from Evelyn and -1 from dex). And 20 was probably not enough.
@@drsch you need to take into account that it's all very freeform (and also a degree of clumsy). The dragon did full breath damage to a person that succeeded on a saving throw and no damage to someone that also succeeded (when they both should have received half damage), and it didn't even register the third person. As an asshole DM that I am, I'd have said "well, if you've all agreed that you were in range of the paladin's small aura, and since you didn't specify your positioning, then I'll assume you're all getting acid on your asses". But one must also ask themselves this: Is that more entertainig for the audience? Or is the chaotic nature of a combat run by Mike it's own special brand of fun to watch?
EDIT: Not to mention the fact that he realizes they're actually doing something to the dragon he wanted his self-insert to vaporize is hilarious in retrospect.
@@drsch she has floating boots so she's always slightly floating. Since the acid spilled out of the dragons mouth onto the ground, it didn't touch her....that's my guess
Mike: "Would you like to do anything else to ruin my plans on your turn?!" This will be my favorite quote of 2020 towards Paladins hahaha.
Time stamp?
@@nicholasmartin6526 th-cam.com/video/_X6Z8XeI0eg/w-d-xo.html This begins the moment.
1:11:05 i´m sure every DM knows that feel
Bobbie went from casual Baptist to straight-up friggin Crusader REAL fast.
Well he IS a Barbarian. Prayer through excessive bloodshedding is about the most piety you get out of that class.
I love Mike's "Angry adversarial DM" schtick. It's great.
he would have fit in wonderfully 40 years ago when the DM's job was to kill the party
Absolutely agree, it's hilarious.
His attitude is adversarial but his actual DMing style is very generous, which is a great balance.
@@pareidolist Yea, the grumpy dm is wrapped in willing kindness..... which just makes it a lot of fun.
@@sylvnfox I think we all now that his job is to kill Omin. The rest of the party just kept getting in the way.
I love that Morgane has terrible Animal Handling but, just willy-nilly summons animals which I like to imagine just take off and go bat shit crazy while she just surfs on that madness.
This actually explains a LOT.
Particularly the rural legend of Waterdeep Canal Crocodiles
You don't need Animal Handling skill, when you can summon fey beings in the shape of an animal, which bound to obay your commands ;)
Mike is a freaking D&D prodigy! I remember his supposedly first game and even then he was a complete natural, and an original!
Yah…..except for where he seems to purposefully ignore Omin’s turn multiple times at different points in the game. The crowd had to force him to let Jerry play. It was clearly on purpose. That’s not cool whether or not its a stage game meant to be a certain way. He’s a power hungry DM. Mike is great at telling a story with his amazing art but horrible at following the rules and allowing the players to assist with the story. He flat out said basically to SHUT UP! I’M THE ONE MAKING THE STORY! All the major points were solved from Jim Darkmagic being the solution. Dude couldn’t allow the players to get the final blow in anything. Kinda messed up.
Xavier Woods is the player that ALL DM's want at there table lol
When Mike learned what it's like to DM for a paladin.
"His methods are unorthodox, but the theology is... sound? "
Hes clearly an orthodox member of the Lathander church.
It's beautiful watching Evelyn realise that she's made a fanatic and start to wonder if she ought to regret it.
"..held" i guess, but i am not 100% sure :)
Other question: can anybody tell me whose voice mike was imitating with the client? My buddy said it sounded like arnold schwarzenegger, but i am not sold on this..?!
@@jamalsonicova2509 Mike is known to struggle with NPC voices. It's a bit of a running gag. That's why Jerry was laughing so much. Believe it or not, he was trying to do Dr. Evil from Austin Powers...
@@robertdicorato1322
Thank you very much dude :D
Whenever I think Xavier has reached peak performance and cant possibly impress me more than he already has he tops that and blows my mind. This guy is pure genius. Im legit baff by his moves.
Era- chi ‘I’d like to attack an ostrich using another ostrich.’
Wrestling: This is the most violent thing you will ever play.
Xavier: I'm about to ruin this careers whole career. *grapples an eyeball*
The stunt with the diaper and all the shenanigans that ensued afterwards was BIIIG Pat Rothfus Bullshit energy.
The dragon eyeball attack is pure genius. 🤓😎😂
Powdered Toast Man. Of all things. Here.
I don't know why this happened, but I am eternally grateful to witness such beauty.
Xavier Woods has easily been the best addition to the team since they brought on Patrick Rothfuss (Hoping hes not gone for good)
I love it
God this was hilarious.
The pettiness and sass from the whole table. 😂😂
These one-shots are fantastic, especially when Mike's in charge!
"I am going to try to shoot the client."
Classic Acquisitions Incorporated.
Mike's Werner Herzog impression has me in stitches. Don't you think?
I just got done watching Mandalorian and im in tears
I was dying!!!
For a lower feeeeeeeeeee
In a week I am going to begin a very intense course of chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins lymphoma Burkitts type at Dana Farber in Boston. As hard as that will be, it will be harder to save this newest episode for my first treatment. But I’m going to be strong for my upcoming fight, and I will be strong and save this episode for that first day or treatments. Then I will be doing a day 1 through now full listen/watch through of all Acquisitions Inc episodes to help me pass the time. Thanks for the decade plus of great content. It’s going to be great to listen to during my treatment. Keep up the greatness Penny Arcade and D&D!
I wish you the best.
Good luck, good sir.
Megazver thank you very much!
Good luck!!
Best of luck! Remember, Jim winks.
Happy Birthday Mr. Perkins, we miss you!!
Did anyone else appreciate the very subtle jabs they made at Disney not having any merchandise for Baby Yoda when the Mandalorian came out? Mike even says he had to go through a lot of trouble to order those shirts without anyone finding out. I don't know if that line was intentional or not, but that is what happened with Disney. Only they supposedly decided not to have Merchandise for Baby Yoda so they wouldn't spoil it.
They weren’t really subtle
Something the scale of Disney would never have been able to make Baby Yoda merch without it leaking. It doesn't really compare to making some tshirts for a convention. I think Mike was mostly focused on making sure Jerry didn't find out about it. Them working in the same office and all.
39:50 So Mike just proved that he can essentially perform a stealth coup against Jerry and take control of the entire company without him knowing anything was happening.
He'd better hope that this skill doesn't transfer to Jim, or Omin's in trouble.
Jim, like Viarri, has a long history of pulling stuff off behind Omin's back.
Mike, master of showmanship & ambassador of the amazingly fun and bullshot homebrew
Mike needs to DM more games.
Okay he sold me with the powdered toast man!!
I come back to this one every once in a while just to see Mike make Jerry laugh with his Werner Herzog impression.
wow... when he came out as powdered toast man i had nerd flashbacks to the 90s. impressive. got a laugh just wondering how many ppl recognized the reference and how many had no idea wtf he was doing
Just saw it, that was LIT.
I'm literally here in the comments looking for you and this comment to explain to me what the hell Xavier is dressed as. Thank you from the future.

thanks? that's a lot of work
1:12:04 No one notices Xavier say "drop down and get yo eagle on" with such intent and its a goddamn tragedy.
Xavier Woods as powdered toast man is the best part of 2020 so far.
Chris Perkins cameo in the audience at 33:15 saying "green flame" is perfect
Jim comes out on stage first
me: oh boy
At "Evelyn, you see Omin laying smoking on the ground" All I could think was: Omin, this is not the time for leisure activities.
Maybe he's just like his mother, she's always snapping at flies, maybe he's just like his father and croaks, Why to we ribbet at each other, this is what it sounds like when frogs die. XD
You, sir, have won the Internet.
Lol thank you. I've always done dumb parody songs in my head. Funnily enough I share a birthday with Weird Al Yankovic.
We've always called "No thank you" bites "Courtesy Bites."
39:30 "You saw it here tonight: I rolled a zero on initiative."
Sadly, I don't think it's the first time.
I'll never not desire these, they're always SO GOOD.
Also HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY CHRIS. You mean the world to this community.
MIke needs his own group to DM for on this channel! AcqInc X-Force against the monsters of the mystic realms or something like that.... his invented gameplay mechanics like the mario kart thingy he did a while back and his use of pop culture story is too good to not tap into much more
Man I love when Anna is there. She's hilarious.
Did any one else see Chris Perkins sitting in the crowd at 33:15
The look on his face. It's the look you get when the player you birthed into the world of D&D runs his very own game. Using the crowd participation meme you created.
He is with the TOrCH crew (minus Anna, for obvious reason).
@@klemminguk he was saying green flame
He looks so proud
Oh yeah the Torch Crew! Didn't catch that till I saw Nate/Paultin
This was absolutely hilarious. Great job, Mike!!!
So glad I actually came to watch this video -- listening to the podcast was already hilarious, but these visuals? Masterworks!
That Chef really put his blood sweat and tears into that meal.
One of the best in recent memory. You guys are awesome.
Xavier Woods (Austin Creed) is a treasure, one of the greatest additions to the A team games. Desperately hoping to see Bobby (or another character) grace the new Nopixel dnd games.
You know your name is awesome when people can't tell which is your real name and which is your WWE Superstar moniker.
a bird wrapped around the arm is worth two in the swamp XD
Môrgæn is my favourite character, I’m so happy to see her back!
What a great Jimterlude. Everyone was brilliant and I especially love the premise, this was funny af to watch, thanks.
Amazing adaption ^^ Loved the Dire Ostriches.
Thank you for getting me through this horrible Monday evening at work!!
The amount of nat 20s in this game
I love when Dark Jim Dungeon Master comes out at the end!
Absolutely loving this, so damn good! :D
man i was waiting for this to be uploaded o3o time for some fun!
The fucking hymnnnn hahahah. Those two are great! Praise Lethander.
The AcInc games that Mike DM's are by far the most entertaining specimens of the collection.
"These are loooong, slender...necks." [me staring at Jerry shaking my head disapprovingly]
I absolutely love when Mike DM’s these things. They are so fucking funny I laugh my ass off every time.
My goodness this was so much fun
Hands down the best PAX live episode ever.
"Well, I am an Ancient Black Man." HAHAHAHAAA!!
This was amazing.
Yo Loved it and need to get back into Acq Inc keep up the great work guys
this is so much awesomeness!
Wow..... Best.. Game.. Ever!!! Can’t top these shenanigans! I have never seen better and I have watched many different games. Great game.
Animal Handling checks for everyone! After Omin's comment in that previous game, way to have a good sense of humour!
There at the end they went from talking about one stream to talking about another stream. Very nice segue Mike.
Man, Chris Perkins getting kinda emotional at the applause at the end was so touching.
I'm gonna be honest... I had no idea who Xavier Woods was before this. But I'm now a fan. That guy's hilarious.
This game got really weird when Bobby put his hand in the dragon’s brain...
Guess he was curious what was on his mind...
@@bgreaud YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
Must have been a headache
I'm gonna guess that context is important
So what you're saying is: It's all fun and games, until someone loses an eye.
33:16 Was that Mr Chris Perkins in the audience there? O.O
The best at what I do He was there watching and he did a live show with the new D&D presents T.O.R.C.H at Pax East.
and mica burton sitting right next to him.
Great spot captain!
I think that was Mr. Perkins reminding Mike about legendary actions.
Yes, and it was also his Birthday that night so they had the whole crowd wish him Happy Birthday.
Happy belated birthday, Chris Perkins!
Hot damn, that is ALOT of damage to take on a saved dex check... That must have been a fucking hell of an acid breath attack.
Love this one ❤
Go Evelyn! This is the reason why DCA was so harsh. Evelyn's paladin aura always helped so I guess Chris needed to up the ante
DCA was harsh long before Evelyn had her aura. :P If anything, her and the rest of the Waffle Crew having to adapt to Chris made them hyper aware of all the cool shit they *could* do.
1:51:53 even the camera operator busted up laughing
I am always so unbelievably happy when there is a new episode!
Its a little drawback when jim dms cause then u know its not the main story but he still does always an awesome job.
So great
1:17:29 - The expression and shock on Mike's face was hysterical! He did NOT see that one coming. :-)
Happy birthday Chris perkins!!!!! Green flame!!!!
Mike needs to DM more. These are great.
Great job 👍
I like when Mike take's the wheel.
I like how Jim doesn’t have to roll damage. Everything he attacks just dies.
The pop from the crowd when Austin Creed hit the dragon! 😁😎
No fancy animation intro recapping the story
Mike is the DM
What is happening?!
Probably just a one-shot. Mike did em in the past.
it is only a one shot, like they almost always do at pax east :( (last year was the fortnite one iirc)
They need Jeremy and likely Patrick for the next one. I'm betting Viari was the one that did the hostile takeover of Aquisitions Inc during the time skip.
@@royjaskowski905 It's that or Wheaton. Imagine if you will... A *dark* Avenger.
@@royjaskowski905 Please not Patrick.
AMAZING
4:57 that realization. Im dying.
mike is actually a really good DM. hes soo funny, has great timing, wish he was my dm.
Please have Bobby back this was great!!!!!! His energy made this newly enjoyable
I love it so much when Mike is DM.
Probably the strongest opening we've had so far. Looking forward to them topping whipping a dire ostrich to death with another dire ostrich
Evelyn remembered the emoji shield! Yay!
But she complitely forgot that she can summon Morning Glory
Man I've been feeling like shit during quarantine and this was a real treat. This has to be one of my favorite sessions you guys have had so far. Thanks for helping me feel better guys!
Finally .
Mike talking about the "No, thank you" bite, a great concept that everyone should like by, not just children. Try new things, you might find you like it. Unless you have allergies
I do that with foods I usually hate, like scallops. I always try to keep tasting them when they come my way. I *hated* cooked mushrooms for the first 25 years of my life, and then suddenly they (and steak) was all I wanted one week. I now love mushrooms sauteed in butter.
The Hertzog was hilarious.
1:50:15 there are so many good moments in this ep but this buy far it the best.
Can we just start introducing Mr Woods as "D&D Superstar Xavier Woods"?
