PAX East 2023: Acquisitions Incorporated
If you are a fan of Dungeons and Dragons live shows, you probably know Acquisitions Incorporated. Even if you just know Pax, you probably know Acquisitions Inc. From their live shows every single Pax that they’ve run for the past 15 years to their Wizards of the Coast published adventure book of their same name, it is safe to say that they are a staple of DnD at this point. And now, they’re coming back for their second online series, Acquisitions Incorporated: The Series 2.
For those unaware, Acquisitions Inc. is a DnD live show that began as a podcast. Since then, their rotating cast has made their mark doing sessions at Pax. The series got so popular that the team began making spin off series, such as their much beloved Acquisitions Incorporated: The “C” Team.
Their newest project, Series 2, is a sequel to their previous YouTube series that ran entirely on their own dime. Now, however, with the standards for TTRPG live shows going up, they have decided to utilize crowd funding, as they’ll be able to increase the level of quality on the productions to even greater heights than ever before.
We got to talk with the wonderful Jerry Holkins, Omin Dran and the DM of The “C” Team, about the new project. He said, “There are only so many live shows you can do in a year, and people seem to want more.” This project is a perfect way to extend the universe back into fan’s lives, without making the live shows any less special.
Their Kickstarter went live on March 9th, and by the 21st of the month they were already fully funded. At the time of writing, they’d raised 294 thousand dollars of their 250-thousand-dollar goal, with their next stretch goal, a special episode where Acquisitions DM Jeremy Crawford himself will be playing, at 300 thousand. If you are interested in helping to fund their Kickstarter, the project is live until April 10th, 2023. If you want to find out more about Acquisitions Inc. visit https://www.acq-inc.com/.
