    I'll be honest, Tube, I thought you were spamming for a second. Maybe write out Acquisition Inc?

    Maybe write out your will

    Hey speaking of AccioInkies is there a guide to which podcast series is which? Like it seems to go 1, 2, 3, Dark Sun, ? ? ? Ark Of the Mad Mage, 8?

    Are the missing 'series' just the live PAX games?

    Oh brilliant

    on the new site if you go to "Portfolio," it has all the episodes laid out in order. (Although Dark Sun is AFAIK unrelated to Acq Inc; different characters, different setting etc. Still very funny and worth a listen)

    I read recently in Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror a little nugget about a 14th century brigand and mercenary group "which called itself frankly enough Società dell' acquisito."

    And it was headed by a fella who was known as the "Archpriest".

    God, the copious use of mouse-over text to repeat the information in the graphical elements is just perfect.

    are the character names missing from the Dark Sun segment an oversight or just not shown because all of Kris Straub's aliases for "Coach" would take up half a page?

    Are the audio parts playable on the website or is my work internet blocking it?

    Waterdeep Citizens probably see the Acq Inc. web page as a technological marvel.

    it's like viewing The Information Superhighway when it was still new and fresh, untouched by Twitter and (*shudder*) Reddit.

    my god what is this feeling?

    I'm enjoying the character bios page. But I don't remember Aoefel being mentioned as working for Auspicia, though I'm not fully up to date on Acq Inc. Did Wil himself make a reappearance, or was his character just a mention in the story?


    This is a complicated one: he started out as a cool, dangerous elf. He had a catchphrase that I don’t remember 100% percent, but he really enjoyed saying it and there’s no company policy saying he can’t. Then he was completely dissolved in acid. There is a company policy on that and it involves avoiding acid, and not bathing in it—it’s possible I could have used a larger font in the Employee Manual. Then we had to go get him from Hell. Then, for reasons unknown, he started working for my sister, Auspicia Dran, of Dran Enterprises, and dressing like a teenager. Whereabouts: currently unknown[/quote[

    Wil didn't make an appearance, but Aoefel stabbed somebody (I think it was Omin?) in the fight at the Frost Giant's castle to steal one of the pieces of that staff and then he vanished.

    Even more spoilers:
    The crew winds up having to work Dran Enterprises attempting to recover another part of the Rod of Seven Pieces from a frost giant's castle. Among the representatives from Dran Enterprises is a Kylo Ren-esque guy dressed in all-black and voice by Perkins covering his mouth with his hands. An early hint is he is wearing a medallion of Aoefel's god. In the ensuing fight, everyone gets pretty badly fucked up by some dragons, but totally-not-Kylo stays back and doesn't really help. He then steals the rod part from Binwin, leaving him to die. He then stabs Viari in the back and says "is a 19 good enough for you?"

    Non-spoiler: you'll want to watch Acq Inc: The Series.
