| - A collaborative podcast between Penny Arcade and Wizards of the Coast, where Jerry Holkins and Mike Kraholik from Penny Arcade join Scott Kurtz from PvP to play Dungeons and Dragons, with Chris Perkins, a senior producer from WoTC, as their DM. In Season 2, they are joined by Wil Wheaton. The campaign features the adventures of Acquisitions Incorporated, an adventuring team. To date, they've been on five adventures, spread over three podcast seasons and two PAX livegames: Season 1: Keep on the Shadowfell sees the newly founded Acquisitions Incorporated venturing down through Shadowfell Keep in pursuit of the leader of the local wildlife (read: kobolds and goblins), Irontooth. The season is divided into two sections with each part having a different DM. The first part consists of the party's battle against Irontooth and his goblins, while the latter is about their confrontation with a death cult of Orcus. This adventure is an abridged version of The Keep on the Shadowfell, the first module published for Fourth Edition. Season 2: Storm Tower rejoins the group several months later as they're joined by new hire Aeofel (Wil Wheaton). The new lineup is hired by the town guard captain to scout out the abandoned tower of Goldenhawk. This and all subsequent adventures were written and DMed by Chris Perkins especially for the podcast, although a modified version of this one (titled Storm Tower) was published in Dungeon Magazine. Season 3: Raid on Ambershard Manor sends the group to help the dwarven city of Hammerfast get rid of a criminal clan. The mission quickly turns personal when Binwin learns the leaders of the bandits are the Ambershard clan, sworn enemies of the Bronzebottoms. It doesn't end well. Session 4: Prisoners of Slaughterfast was played live at PAX 2010. The surviving members gather to perform a ritual to bring back their fallen buddy, only for it to fail for an unexpected reason- Aeofel's already alive. To get him back, Acquisitions Incorporated are going to hell! Session 5: The Last Will and Testament of James Darkmagic I was played live at PAX 2011. The gang are called to Jim's native land of New Hampshire following the death of his grandfather, the original Jim Darkmagic. A fourth podcast with most of the same players (Wil was replaced by Kris Straub and Jerry was the GM in place of Chris) served as a prologue to the second season of Wizards' Encounters campaign, showcasing the newly resurrected Dark Sun campaign setting. The party (for the Acquisitions campaign) consists of:
* Omin Hereward Dran, CEO of Acquisitions and a half-elf cleric of Avandra. Played by Jerry Holkins, co-author of Penny Arcade.
* Binwin Bronzebottom, a dwarven fighter. Played by Scott Kurtz, author of PvP.
* Jim Darkmagic, a narcissistic human wizard of the New Hampshire Darkmagics. Played by Mike Krahulik, co-author of Penny Arcade.
* Aeofel "Al" Elhromane, the new intern of the company and an eladrin avenger of Malora. Played by Wil Wheaton. The podcasts can be found here, and the PAX games can be viewed here and here (as well as on YouTube).
