I'd watch a weekly series of Morgaen running around the D&D universe and just not putting up with anybody's bullshit.
Xavier is considered "small" by WWE standards, I often forget how huge even the smallest WWE guys are when compared to regular people.
Literally same ahahaha, think the exact same thing every time I see any wrestler with an average person, makes me feel daft for thinking I'd grow up to be like triple h... And I mean like 2002 triple h... like unbeknownst to me at the time pumped full of steroids biggest he ever was triple h lmao
I’ve watched Acq Inc since the beginning, and I honestly love every member of the cast for different reasons. What happened with Scott Kurtz was a heavy hit, and I was especially worried for the show after Chris Perkins was replaced. Luckily for me, as a huge fan of the series, the show is just as good as a it’s ever been. I could rave about how phenomenal a DM Jeremy Crawford is, or how much I love Patrick Rothfuss’ Viari, and Xavier Woods’ new innocent enthusiasm for the hobby, but no. This post is a tribute to the Original Jim Darkmagic. I’ve never seen a genuine nerd look as badass as Mike Krahulik does every time he takes the stage. He’s always creative, effective, and hilarious in his approach to solving the crazy ass problems we all face in D&D, and after the last two episodes I just had to give him a shout out. He’s the Daryl Dixon of Acquisition Incorporated. Omin may be the Rick Grimes like main character, but everyone would stop watching if Jim were to leave.
Why did Scott Kurtz leaved?
I don't see Mike ever leaving as long as Jerry is in it, they've been best friends and co-creators of a long running web comic for as long as I've been alive.
@@abacate4492 type that question in google youll find the answer on reddit
It's been a ride. Genuine Nerds doing their thing at the best of times. Annoying WotC promotion at worst but that's life.
Jim... has ascended. His time has come. From instigator to creative, destructive, commanding force. His rise has been a privilege to watch. If Mike Krahulik were to retire Jim and start a new character, I would actively mourn the end of the tale of Jim. This is a fantastic cast, but you’re right, Jim is Daryl fucking Dixon.
"I also am very cool and good and I am going to roll well this time!"
Nat 1
I love the fact that the Lich Jim Darkmagic now has a face on his cape where the Real Jim Darkmagic used to have a skull. It's all in the details!
"On account of all the cheese, Bobby, I'm going to need you to make a constipation saving throw." "You mean constitution?" "You heard me."
40:53 and Jeremy's reaction might be the hardest I've ever laughed at this series. Xavier Woods is a treasure.
"I have a specific set of skills" love it

Only Evelyn Avalona Helvig Marthain could successfully proselytize someone to Lathander at the litteral feet of the unholy Zariel lord of Avernus.
And would get away with it xD
Evelyn Avalona Helvig Marthain
@@RustyShackleford_ Corrected, Thank you.
@@andrewrobinson4019 No problemo. Thank YOU for not getting mad at being presented with the correct spelling of something lol
I feel like Evelyn is an Evangelical Lethandrite, where as Bobby is a Southern Baptist Lethandrite.
Hallelujah!
This are the same thing, Bobby is more of a black protestant lethandrite
This is the best comment
Jeremy Crawford has a gift for describing the magical and mystical.
The Bobby Evelyn friendship is my new favourite thing now
You all need to do another short series with Jeremy Crawford. We need more Acq Inc.
I hope Xavier decides or is able to keep playing with the group
He's been in the last 3 or 4, he's gonna keep playing
He's so good
I’m low key hoping for him to take levels in paladin. Oath of Devotion to cheese
Omin: "It's a four!" (meaning his plus)
Rolls a four
Me: "Well he called it"
I kinda want to see a Pat Rothfuss reaction video to this.
Seeing how others can also utilise his PRBS ways, he has to feel proud.
I’d lay odds 50/50 that Viari got back before the others and is the BBG behind the hostile takeover.
Viari asked Oman to be the better guy. Viara never said that he had similar aspirations for himself.
Pretty sure this is how Cleric Deities/Warlock Patrons come about.
Morgæn has a “Dark Fate”-era Sarah Connor vibe to her, and I’m all for it.
Every time one of these comes out I make myself a good meal just relax and really have a moment it's only a couple times a year so I really enjoy them and watch them over and over.
Well, who needs sleep anyway.
I agree
Yeah, we can sleep when the Internet is empty
lol its 03:46 at my place. a DM never sleeps, he just takes short rests
@@joey19931226 3:09 here. And so true. Gotta take those sources of inspiration while they have you.
Kris Straub, when Bobby turns his underwear in a make-shift mankini: “are you kidding me??”
Did Kris come up with the intro tune? The one that plays during Acq Inc feature presentation screen at the very beginning...???
@@youtubeseagull I don't know if he wrote it, but he definitely raps it
My life is kind of going to shit around me, it is after 4 am because I'm genuinely too anxious to sleep and I'm watching this on my pc because I lost my phone so believe me when I say: I have never needed this show more. THANK YOU!!!
You are not alone bro. Take care of yourself
As someone whose life is also kind of going to shit, I'm with you there. I wish you more luck than I'm having.
sending you love. I don’t know what you’re going through right now, but I hope things turn around for you and you find lots of joy this year and beyond. 💚
Only reason to watch something on phone screen is if you lost your PC :P hope this week is going better for you!
Did you find your phone?
sweet. always great to get more of these. they're so few and far between and short! :(
Lathander the god of sun and dawn... or a "New Day" :P
I totally forgot about that xD
Xavier and Anna are such a wholesome delight to watch!
Great session! Xavier and Anna are an awesome comic duo.
I am living for Evilynn and Bobby’s friendship, so cute. She totally converted him 😂
Love this! Did Xavier Woods just multi classed to paladin? And it’s great to see Morgaen again.
I think he's pure Barbarino. The thing Anna did for him was just a 24 hour buff, I believe.
Carlo Marasigan also a bard? Maybe?
That's a link to Bobby's character sheet if anyone is interested.
Switching to Path of the Zealot barbarian would be cool
crazy, i didnt know there was a new pax game comin out today...been watchin the celebrity dnd game with the robot chicken writers today
Seth green is a kiddy toucher.
I was thinking about the new Critical Role book while watching this and realized something. They went to Ravnica for a while to hype up the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica... THIS IS THEIR CHANCE. THE TWO GREATEST D&D TH-cam SHOWS OF ALL TIME MUST CROSS OVER. CRITICAL ROLE AND ACQ INC MUST COLLIDE.
Odds are the next crossover will be to Eberron. That's why Jeremy made special note of Vi's dragonmark.
"Don't cross the streams… It would be bad… Try to imagine all life as you know it every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."
Nahh, let's just not xD
I honestly had some doubts about AI having a WWE Champion on the show. But Xavier Woods freaking nails it every time! I love how Bobby and Evelyn play off of each other so well and make an awesome duo. 39:36, 1:35:06, and 1:43:13 show this perfectly and had me crying with laughter. I absolutely love Acq Inc!
How did it take till the end of the animation to notice that "The Real Jim Dark Magic's" pendant was a picture of Jim's human face instead of the skull! lol
Same here
I just realised that I really liked everyone who has been on this campaign so far (both DMs included). Everyone is doing a really great job and playing their characters really well. Also while Will kinda overdid some things overall he was still fun to listen to. And ngl I wasnt too sure about Strix at first because I got a wrong first impression of her character but after watching her play for a bit she grew on me aswell.
Youre all amazing, keep up the good work.
"Have we determined if using a bong is a free action?"
The very next video in my TH-cam que is entitled "*NSFW D&D Night Gone Wrong". I guess I can skip that now.
Morgan Webb forever!
Acquisitions Incorporated needs a Hamilton style musical
Really fun to see Morgaen back. Morgan is the queen of deadpan. Good work again guys!
Plus she's adorable
I STILL MISS CHRIS PERKINS
We all do.
Funnily enough I didnt miss him as much the last few games as I do now. I guess the longer hes gone the more I realise hes not coming back. I absolutely love Jeremy aswell, hes such a good DM. Its just missing the old times I guess. Would be super cool if Chris could guest-DM every now and again.
Bobby got bit by a radioactive rules bargainer
Holy shit am I dreaming?! After the literally worst day of work in a year this gets uploaded. Just what the doctor ordered!
When someone wants to jump to the moon, 1:22:00 is the perfect DM response.
Someone in marketing has to tell Crawford how much money they make off “Green Flame”.
And suddenly Bobby had an immense desire to swing from chandeliers. FROM CHANDELIIIIIIEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSS!!!
Much later reply here: or suddenly that gets into Bobby's wrestling setup.
just hope there's no Apocalypse Dagger involved
I love these opening animations so much
I just collapsed laughing when I noticed Real Jim, with a skull for a head, had a Jim face brooch where Alive Jim has a skull face brooch.
Xavier Woods is proving to be a real asset to the AI game. Also Jeremy Crawford is astounding in his control of the game
Bobby + World Tree leaves + Viari's spirit = Some epic shit
Oops, you misspelled "Some epic bullshit".
what is the intromusic, i love it!
I like the fact that Evelyn Markain was back after the problems with dice camera action
I would have liked them all to be back. It's a sad world when a crazy ex can torpedo multiple careers with lies and come away unscathed.
What happened? I must have missed something
Scott Norton oh boy DCA is gone because of the Jared controversy they dropped him really quickly as they didn’t want to be associated with his brand
@@scottnorton5670 projareds wife went nuts when he tried to divorce her and told everyone he was a cheating pedophile. Turned out she was lying, but they dropped Jared anyway
SO cool I just caught up on all of the AI recently. Glad this dropped
YES!
I rewatch their show all the time and it just never gets old.
Bobby has a D-20 spinner ring just like my wedding ring, I love it!!! Great vid as always keep up the amazing world Acq Inc!!
46:52 that laugh made my day and, probably, a whole week.
Jeremy is the king of the cliffhanger!!!!
Disappointed the intro “previously on” cartoon didn’t feature Jim saying “I’m the real fucking Jim Darkmagic” as he exploded the fake one’s head.
"I am also very cool and good and im gonna roll well this time"
I died XD
HOOOOLD UP!
Does this mean Viari is completely dead, or does it mean that his essence/spirit/whatever that is in Bobby can be transferred into a Warforged?
Now I'm trying to imagine Warforged Rogue Viari trying to seduce the Cosmohopper 😅
well, Eberon IS the next logical place for them to explore.
Alphonse?
You could have left out the "try" part.
His katra.
11:20 Jerry's face lmfao!
The first game of the decade!
could have just put the phylactery in a bag of holding.... as long as the lich's soul was in it, I can't think of a way it would be able to escape that extra dimensional space unaided.
its not Christopher Darkmagic, his middle name is Winifred
I thought it was Danger?
I literally have so much homework to do but this takes priority
It was a fantastic show, I’m just wondering why it was so short this year...
Nice job uploading the next day!
Believe they factor in upto 3hrs for the session if they get through the planned content the DM had prepared quicker then it means a shorter show.
@@ginginc Yep, it's not scripted so they can't be too precise about the timing. I believe both the DMs have said before that they have an end point in mind and a time limit they have to reach it by, and that's about it. Looking back through their live games, the run times are all over the place in the 2-3 hour range.
41:00... You get to see Jeremy's brain Break.
Xavier Woods is the best thing to happen to AI in like 3 years.
When Morgan sat on the Hellrider I really wanted to hear Space Truckin in the background and for her to just say "Groovy".
WHAT YEAR IS IT
It's 1494 since DCA was in 1492.
Could be about a year later though.
@@MasumiSeike Was a rhetorical Jim quote, not an actual question. I appreciate the response, though. Lol
@@RustyShackleford_ Oh lol xD
Well at least for anyone wondering because I think or at least don't remember an official year for Acq Inc.
Loved the beard on Mike
For some stupid reason I watched this while intoxicated and I thought, "I put all my points into art," was the funniest thing ever.
A Bard-barian
Yes.
Who hasn't heard about the marauding Bardbarians?
Just befor covid god what a time to be alive
I literally just finished the last one
Someone PLEASE tell me the name of the song in the beginning cinematic
1:40:58 LOL amazing
2 years have past.
Meanwhile, at the Waffle House, Strix has locked herself in the basement, Paultin's living the burnout rockstar lifestyle, and Diath has been sneaking around at night using an assumed identity named Xander.
Sure about that?
I think that Strix would be still panicking every time she tries to bake her Good Berries Pie, Paultin still wouldn't give up on finding Evelyn like the others but he's the only one who actually doesn't come back from a walk the first time and Diath and Strix find him knocked out laying on the street sleeping because as they get told he didn't sleep for like a week. And since then would only sleep if he had enough wine. And Diath would be in his room trying to find any clues to where Evelyn got transported in the blast she was in.
I surmise they looked for Evelyn for a few weeks until they decided to ask the Black Staff for help and she said "yes". So the three of them get teleported back to the Wizards of the Coast HQ where they ask Chris Perkins where Evelyn is, he uses his "magic cell phone" and they all jump in an Uber to PAX south 2020... They're out in the audience watching the show and shouting "GREEN FLAME!" with big foam hands on... And they all lived happily ever after!
1:08:12. “Let’s go in this magical hole...”
Ya ya fight demons for every , become a hell rider , but seriously do you have any cheese ? Lol killed me
40K Ork rules say take the red ride, it goes faster!
Red wunz go faster! Moar DAKKA!
4:04 Credits say James Christopher DarkMagic not James Winifred .. did the Real DM not the OG write this?!
I want a character with Anna's hair, maybe a fire genasi?
Oh snap they Xavier Woods up in here. Dudes D&D series on his channel literally introduced me to Tabletops rp 😁
Wow this was the first dnd acq in post Chris perkins that I really enjoyed, especially Evelyn and the other dude :D
You know what would've been perfect as Bobby got the Viari bullshit powerup? Playing a strain of "The Touch" from the 80's Transformer's movie :)
"You've got the touch!!! You've got the POWWWEEERRRR!!!"
I enjoyed this one even more than I usually do, which is a helluva lot. A great job by all.
I was there for Pax Unplugged last December. So sorry I couldn't make it to South this year.
seeing as they use these shows to showcase new materials was half hoping they would end up in tal'dorei :) but i also understand why they did not
So glad Mad Maggie made an appearance in this campaign!
yes!
Absolutely amazing. I cannot wait for the next installment. I wish could see one of these live.
The show predates 5e, and I get that, but that also means they've had the entirety of the game's life to familiarize themselves with its rules... and they kinda just haven't. Every time they look at a character sheet it's like the first time they've ever seen one.
Dice really run the narrative
I appreciate the bobby juice just in the corner of the screen.
41:00
The introduction of this episode is so crazy poetic and epic. I adore this group and it's part of why I love dnd to this day.
"I am also very cool and good, and I am going to roll well this time"
1:14:15 "The two Barlgura .." surely you mean Barlgurii ?
Wonder if omens sister is the one heading up the hostile takeover
Okay can someone please direct me to the episode before this one? There's a lot of info I want to know about.
I miss Binwin bornzebottom and Chris
I'm into guys, but I'd marry Môrgæn any day. DAMN that gurl is the whole package. She's strong, capable, determined, intelligent, cunning, she can conjure tigers and giant eagles, and she can pincushion all your enemies with arrows. Môrgæn YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!
This was one of Mikes best games so far damn!
As I listen to this while playing a game, whenever "Bobby" talks, i swear I hear "Viari". They sound so much alike. I wonder if it's on purpose. xD It fits so well with what's going on, is what I'm trying to say. Which makes this that much better. Looking at the guy playing bobby, he even looks like the guy playing viari. It's uncanny.
1:54:55
YES, EBERRON!
*I scared everyone around me at work while listening to this.
I would love to see A.I. square off against The Twelve. Cooperate calamity, incoming.
