AI, not CR, is who got me into D&D. Chris, Mike, Jerry, and Scott were/are 24K dramedy gold. The laughter has been unparalleled. I really don't know of a more iconic foursome. They literally (figuratively) captured lightning in a bottle. It's been extremely difficult to watch my favorite D&D people leave the group one by one. Fast forward to now, to flip that on its head, I'm so beyond words excited to see Mike is coming back?! Maybe?! Hopefully?! Yes?! I can't wait for next year!!!!!!!!
Do you think he's going to DM or be part of the party?
@@carlsjr.9338 it doesnt matter. Its going to be great. Missed Mike.
I miss Perkins
@@WormSlayer what happened to him? Why did he stop DMing games like these? I loved his Strahd Ravenloft campaign but since then he has dropped off the face of the earth
I beg you! bring back the old guard!
"What was I supposed to think? You introduced Uncle Jim as your, 'special friend'."
"We ARE special friends!"
Been watching Acq Inc since 10th grade, am now getting ready to graduate law school. A few things have gotten me all this way but Acq Inc has certainly been one of them. From Aoefel's 19s that didnt succed, Binwin's cracking the shell to kill a hydra, Jims cannonball into a pool of acid, Viari's chandeliers, Morgaen's oddly low dex checks, Omins literal dealings with the devil and, of course, Chris Perkins' balance of rule of cool to Rulebook lawyer, all the way to me responding "green flame", "18" and chanting "blood" in my bedroom, dorm room, and now apartment room. Thank you to the original cast who got the group going, the people who joined in on the way, and the people who brought it to its close. A special thank you to Jerry Holkins, for playing Omin Dran my favorite character since day 1 and allowing his legacy to live on in the canon of the Sword Coast.
Congrats on finishing law school!
hear hear
And after reading that, I have to watch it all again for the 11th time 🎉🎉🎉 I miss Chris, I miss C team, I miss Waffle Crew, dammit I miss Mike… but I’m gonna watch it all again. And, at the same time, I’m gonna be writing my parallel Acq Inc campaign ❤
Hell of a ride, been here since day 1! Love everyone that has been part of the AcqInc run!
This hurts more than the ending of any book series I've read. I've listened to every podcast, watched every episode. I've struggled between every PAX for the last 8 years waiting for Acq Inc to release a new session. Thank you everyone for the experience, original group and to those who joined along the way. Certainty Dron, Jasmin Bhullar I wish you the best of luck, you have massive shoes to fill, see you next year.
Thank you. It's been one hell of a ride.
It's been one of the things that have kept me ... Mee....

2:22:21 series 2 trailer
Season 1: Certainty trains an owl to attack Jim Darkmagic's grandmother, so Jim would be afraid of owls his whole life, later turning him into an owlbear tamer master.
Season 2: Certainty instructs Aeofel Elhromane to join Acquisition Incorporated.
Season 3: When Jim Darkmagic from the future plans to kill past Jim, he gets sniped by Certainty, when he was standing on top of the Five League House as a shadowy figure.
PAX 2010: Certainty persuaded the priests from the temple of Moradin to assist Acq Inc in the resurrection of Aeofel, free of charge.
PAX 2011: Certainty cursed Percy Darkmagic, so that he can neither see nor hear fey.
PAX 2012: Certainty sends an owlbear to assist Acq Inc in the fight against the lizard men.
Ark of the mad mage: Certainty instructs Pierro, the gnome, to introduce Viari to Acq Inc.
PAX EAST 2014: Certainty introduces Vandal, the silver dragon, to Môrgæn.
PAX PRIME 2014: Certainty instructs Viari to take the battle balloon ship and come to Acq Inc's rescue against the cult of the dragon.
PAX EAST 2015: Certainty delivered the blueprint for an iron man suit as well as the blueprint for a mecha beholder tank to Ray of fey.
PAX PRIME 2015: While traveling through the Underdark, Certainty lends her Wand of Wonder to one of the svirfneblin.
PAX EAST 2016: Certainty restores Jim Darkmagic, by putting his soul, which was previously sucked into a gem, back into his original body.
Acq Inc the series: Certainty stole the belt of giant strength from the Horn clan. Also Aeofel takes revenge on Acq Inc for leaving him in - multiple - acid pits.
PAX WEST 2016: Certainty teaches Klauth, the red dragon, to dual wield wands. In return he allows Acq Inc to find shelter in his Klauthen Veil, a healing spring.
Did not see that ending coming. What a rollercoaster of emotion.
I love how by the end Rakdos was just hanging out and being part of the audience
story theory: Certainty's story will run parallel to the original campaign. However, she'll bump into key players along the way that will alter the future. she'll interact with jim, omin, and hopefully old and new faces like Morgain, Viari, Binwin, Aeofel (?) and change the future.
Anyone else finds that at 1.5x Jeremy reaches normal pace speech?
Assuming that the final roll of Acq Inc Series 1 was about how many years back in time Certainty would be able to travel to fix everything, the fact that the combination of dice rolls and abilities added up to the number of years Acq Inc has been around is CHILLING. Series 2 has received the blessings of all the dice gods. So let it be written, so let it be done.
What a fantastic reason to start an acq inc marathon from start to finish!!
If that's not the most DnD thing ever.
Ran a campaign for 14 years and still didn't hit 20.
Maybe this proves a point...the more enjoyable levels are around the Tenth. That's why they stick to it
I tip my hat to you, Acquisitions Incorporated, I have laughed myself silly every session. But all good things must come to an end😭 fare thee well, Jerry Holkins aka Omin Dran, your legacy will not be forgotten
Simply epic.
I usually avoid any comments on youtube, but here you just have to give the utmost respect. Since the beginning I was looking for every single episode. And I hope I will be able to continue to do so.
Thanks to all involved who make it possible.
A big fan from Germany!
Acquisitions Incorporated got me into D&D. It was right around the time 5e arrived. I'm glad I was introduced to this awesome game. Thank you for all the laughs and inspiration.
I was playing before aq Inc but it's almost criminal that everyone talks about cr starting it when Perkins and the crew did it almost 10 years before.
He should have winked. ❤️
*jim winks*
Damn. Been listening since it was just a podcast and to see it grow through PAX is crazy. Definitely emotional to see it end. But then to come out with a Kickstarter.....mixed feelings. Excitement but also caution.
At 1:12 you can watch the guy who's supposed to be the expert in 5e's rules and is designing 6e, completely fail to understand how counterspell works.
I loved this. I have not laughed-till-I-cried at one of these for a while, but the entire nonsense around 1hr 40? I live for this drama. Thank you all!
You guys have been an inspiration more than I can say. It was always a dream to see a game though circumstances prevented. I can't wait to see series 2 but my heart will always remember the fond journey with all these characters.
Its been 14 years wow. Can't wait to what comes next.
Huh, nobody in that room knows how Counterspell works, even Crawford? Also; Fight Milk contains crow egg and fecal matter, cow milk, and vodka :P
AI is by far the most entertaining live session. Keen to see how to 'set things right' is going to go. Great job to all involved in the past 14 years.
This was amazing. Thank you so much for everything. Waiting for this Season 2 impatiently
Oh my! It's over... but not over. I am so excited to see it.
It's great how many there are now of these can't wait to catch up on all the previous ones to watch this one.
Retirement home living is gonna be sweet.
My soul...it hurts. Thank you for one hell of an adventure.
Loved how you always seemed to make me , the viewer, feel like i'm part of the show!! Love your stories and all of the love you all put into your characters. I am saddened to see this chapter close but also very excited to see what's next!!!!
I've been following this show for such a long time and can't believe it's finally over. Still so many loose ends.. still so much to tell!
I am looking forward to the new content in 2023, though. I've always found these live shows great and hilarious content, but the one-shot nature of them didn't really make for great storylines. They always had to adapt for missing characters, different DMs or other circumstances which turned it into a bit of a mess at times. Having a dedicated series (again) would really help telling the story and creating depth to the characters, as they did with the C-Team. It's also great to see Mike make a reappearance with this format, since he couldn't handle live shows anymore.
I do really hope that Jerry will be part of the new series in some way. I'm such a fan of him as a player, as a DM but mostly as an artist. He wields language as a weapon and the way he's able to describe things always amazes me. I really miss the spoken word poems he used to do at the end of the show. Acq. Inc. just isn't without the right amount of Holkins.
Imagine a dark poetry slam.
Jerry: "I feel like this is a little like Rakdos's fanfiction" hahaha I love this man
I absolutely loved this, and I'm SO excited for what the future will bring 💜 be it return of old beloved characters, new, crazy ones, and all the crazy ass dumb joke banter that I watch this game for. Absolutely 💯 fantastic.
ALSO: Strix/Holly's outfit this game was spectacular
I hope Strix and Evelyn stick around. Strix needs to finally go back to The Cage and confront her fears when the Planescape book is released, and Evelyn needs to have her heart shattered into a million pieces by the truth. Preferably in the same 3 hour span.
What I'd give for one more game with the original 4 guys. Take me back to like 2010 🤣
Awesome!!!! Love AI! I just started listening to the “C” team! I’m on episode 15!
May their labours please you!!!
This was such a great episode, but the best part of all was seeing that Jim might return!
I certainly enjoyed Acq. Inc., but I was devastated after Chris left. Jerry is a good DM, but I felt that the series kind of went off the rails a bit, and it was just getting hard to follow. With the constant drops ins and outs with New and Old people, it just got really confusing after a while. I am not saying I didn't enjoy everyone's performance. It just got a bit weird for me.
Loved the first 8 years or so but after a while every game became an ad for the new WotC product. They are probably glad they ended right before all the OGL stuff went down.
Holy moly...but now i wanna know what happens with Omin, Evelyn and Stryx
Acq Inc forever, this train don't stop. Can't wait to see what's next!
This is not the end it's a new start for a better adventure! hope to see Jim in the new Series!
They show him at the end teaser. Got the impression he’s playing Jim and DMing it.
@@randalladkins7452 he has a beerd and spoke like a younger jim wich is what gave me the impression he will play jim. i don't know about Dming since it sounded like the current DM would DM aswell.
@@Dermeister009 I don't think Jeremy is going to be DMing it. Allow me to attempt to persuade you without any real evidence. 1st. They are going to kickstarter, which almost certainly means that WotC will not be partnering with Acquisitions Inc or they wouldn't need kickstarter. 2nd The guy who plays Jim hasn't been in the game because of his anxiety and traveling to cons. Third Jeremy is basically going to be a hostage to design until the next iteration of D&D is released.
I don't believe it is going to be a convention only thing. The kickstarter gives me the impression that they are going to be doing something weekly/biweekly/monthly with in house production. This of course would allow Jim to play in the games without the anxiety of being on stage and without having to travel. Jeremy cannot likely commit to a game every week or even bi weekly. There are a couple of exceptions that could derail my entire logic. The kickstarter could be for equipment to allow Jim and Odin, etc. to do an event by zoom/whatever. And the entire series could be used as a live playtest of the New D&D rules, thus, Jeremy could be working while running D&D and I could be wrong.
@@bradleyhurley6755 you seem alot more informed than me, i was going purly from what i saw in the last show. DO we know when they will start?
@Dermeister009 I don't think so. Also I am speculating so I could be completely wrong. Though the kickstarter does make me think WotC won't be involved.
not a fan of the always negative Strix but wow everyone else is amazing. this is the best DND type show I've seen - that includes any critical role stuff. amazing and clever and the subtle humor is definitely something that reminds me of our own childhood campaigns.
that unicorn dying really got to me for some reason
To me too. She was caged so long and nothing but good and helpful… and nobody could even mourn her.
This session gives me *life* 🔥
I am in shock... I've watched all of these episodes, from character creation, the series, the xmas special, all the PAX episodes.... I am super sad.... and yet... super excited.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate that Chris Perkins actually had a character foresee this city burning to the ground back in 2015 (pax east 2015 show).
At about 35:10 on that video, to be specific.
It wasn't until this episode that I realized that Evelyn and Omin were truly Belle and Rumpelstiltskin. I don't know what the future will bring.. but I saw what I saw. 🥰
I miss the Pat Rothfus bullshit...
Wow. Amazing!
I love how random those recaps sound. xD
Can wait to see how Certainty will change things next year. Jeremy comes back as a young Omen.
*Jerry
*Omin
1:12:26 Jeremy Crawford, lead rules designer does not know how *Counterspell* works, and that irks me greatly.
I was in the audience near the middle of the room. I almost yelled "It's Strix's roll", followed by "Jeremy you should know that." I didn't, but I kinda wish I had.
I know what I'm gonna to tomorrow! 😍 😍 😍 Thanks! :)
I was at this game… it was the quietest I’ve ever heard the crowd. I really hope they can pull it together and come back strong for the new series
Just watching it now, for real! Nobody even helping with maths! Jerry chewing the lozenge the whole time makes me feel that the loss of the crowd is working on his nerves.
Man I'm kinda sad. I've been following Acq Inc for about 10 years. This is the series that got me into D&D.
Here's hoping the future is bright and we still get to see some familiar faces.
Great show as always guys.
By the way i haven't seen the Real jim and Viary in a while, what happened to the people that played them?
Oooh new episode!
Glances down at comments.
Oh.... I don't think my emotions will take this right now.
Maybe later
Ohhhh wow that new do Holly has is really cool .....damn 😎
The golden years of Acq Inc where when Scott, Mike, Jeremy, Patrick/Will, and Chris were playing, but it hugely dropped off after Mike stopped playing. The series definitely needed to end, because it had become so unrecognizble compared to the majority of the lifespan of Acq Inc. However I'm thankful it happened, it was a fun journey while it lasted! Im excited for a brand new beginning (im hoping they will bring Scott back, but i doubt it)
This bridges are well burned. Scotts not coming back especially if Mike is running the game.
Personaly I wasn't a fan of Will Weatons Aeofell, but thats just taste. I think there best arc is tyrany of dragons whit the suprice viari dropin on skyship. very good balance between over the top actions, comedy and serius stuff.
What!?!!!!!???!!!!?!!?... 😭😭
Do I spy Mind Lord of the Last Sea at @2:22:22? Loved that addon of Dark Sun!
Love how Anna still has golden nail polish on despite them not playing in costume
Jasmine needs more immediate attention than Wheaton ever did. Even Holly is like, "Whoa let the rest of us have some mic time!". Sad, quiet ending for an amazing franchise that I have been loyal to since day one. Only Jerry remains and he is nervously chewing on Tums through the whole thing knowing that there is a fate worse than Dran Enterprises taking over our beloved AI... It's random Twitch celebs.
I definitely agree, plus her downtrodden, angsty, and not very supportive personality/play style doesn’t lend itself very well to the more lighthearted and positive group.
NO FREAKING WAY
Holy Shit
6:20 that rocket is SUS
All good things have to come to an end eventually. Thanks for the content, it's been a fun ride. Loved the whole series from its beginning to its eventual end.
Hope the OG crew does some D&D stuff from time to time.
Azmodeus with the maulware install
Asmodeus Incorporated?
Guess who's baaaAAAAACK!
So is jeremy horkins passing the torch? And wont be in the game as omin drahn or anyone else?
I used to love these but it's been a downward spiral the last few years, best to end it now. Thanks for some incredible sessions.
Holly looks amazing in this.
Asmodeus: “I look forward to seeing what is next.”
Me: “Meeeeeeeeee Tooooooooooooooooo” 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
finally saw the ending.. oh, dead gods..
What did Mike say at the end?
1:38:45 the thing for me, is why?
Got to sell that OneD&D.
Best episode of Acq. Inc., maybe ever! THE DRAMA!
welp. time to re-listen to the entire series again. much love AI fam. see you next time
I'm sure Jeremy Crawford is a great DM but even after some time now I have not warmed up to him and miss Chris Perkins dearly ❤
Omg I wonder if she'll run into Binwin
That ICBM was sus af.
Looking to the future/past.
Q.Q the final episode omg!!
Considering what's going on with WotC at the moment... that Asmodeus speach is TOO REAL... JK was warning us all along!
Holly Conrad is slaying with the new hairstyle! Also Portentia is too in the animation which is weird because I thought she was canonically shaved headed (god I’m such a nerd)
OMG THIS IS WHY CERTAINTY IS WORKING WITH TEH CTEAMS
28:40, I think he means, OnlyFiends
Here's hoping the next show is more identical to the C-Team (weekly episodes) instead of these PAX sessions
Not the same show without Jim, Viari and Binwin.
Ooh that explains so much about the Ogl bs going on
End of an era ☹☹☹
That's..... Not how counterspell works.
Paladins can Turn the Unholy
So I don't get it right now..
Does this mean no more live shows????????? or what??
Guys please don't do that to me you are my quarterly retreat out of that shit show called normal live.
Although I am really looking forward to see Jim back in the series the live shows are just another level...
There will continue to be more live shows, they are now just being encapsulated in dedicated seasons, with seasonal cast set for the year, in order to help with story pacing and help make it easier for fans to keep track of the story.
@@pennyarcadeTV thats great to hear
im kinda glad its over, whilst I enjoyed the show it definitely lost its shine after Chris left and then it had limped along when Mike decided to step back too. Mike and Scotts back and forth was hilarious. Not saying the rest was bad but it had just lost some of the sense of 4 or 5 friends playing and into something a bit more produced and corporate.
Yeah the later seasons got harder to watch and be invested in. I hope they bring some of the whole crew back.
oh no... not Asmodeus Incorporated
