    "There is a death sentence in T'Gith for acquiring."

    Not exactly sure of the quote (it has been a number of years).

    For a half-elf, Omin's a burly guy.

    Maybe it's the bottom half.

    Is this a past adventure? Didn't Wisara close down the Silver Unicorn to go move in with her sister?

    When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:

    I don't think anyone really cares about canon or the exact continuity of this.
    Or at least Mike and Jerry don't.

    A thousand times yes! Please let this tie into the release of a podcast. It has been far too long since we've be able to follow Acquisitions Inc. on a long-form adventure.

    My first thought on reading was "What did she need, and how did she get it just by putting her hood down?"

    Shortest adventure ever!
    Yeah, I know :p, why not "acquiring" though?

    That's an awesome comparison. :) And I feel like that it is not accidental. I feel like I know EXACTLY, who is this lovely lady, but I don't want to spoil anything so I wait out and see if anybody has the same feeling as me. Hint: (if I'm right), we have already met her during the A. Inc. adventures. O

    Okay...?
    I thought I knew my PA stuff rather well, but I have NO FUCKING CLUE what this Acquisitions Inc. thing is supposed to be, and why you guys all sound so excited about it.

    What did I miss here? Please? :)

    Mike, Jerry, Scott, and Wil Wheaton's Dungeons and Dragons characters? They did a bunch of podcasts and now they livestream their games every PAX? Ring any bells?

    She says "that I need", not "that needs." "Acquired" is correct.

    No. I have no interest whatsoever in D&D, I'm here for the comic and the video game content.
    But thanks for telling me. :)

    I would strongly recommend giving them a listen. I had no interest whatsoever in D&D either til I listened to Gabe play his first game.

    Hell even if you never plan to play they're absolutely hilarious.

    Same - Gabe's conviction that owls will "eat the teeth right out of your head and fly away, they don't even care" had me on the floor. And that's in like the first 5 minutes.

    Love it. I think the dissertation on chitinous carapaces was their master work. Although that was a different party.

    Hey, from Jerry's wordspost, he mentioned he spent a bunch of money to acquire a golden ring with a favor attached. I have to say my curiosity is peaked; just how much did he spend on it? :D

    I'm so happy this is a thing that is happening!

    She says "that I need", not "that needs." "Acquired" is correct.

    I think he means that if it were "something that needs... ...acquiring," there wouldn't be the opening for the confusing misread. Which I guess would then open it up to the misread that she already has the thing in question, but whatever, this isn't a very interesting avenue of discussion.
