History Recap / AcquisitionsIncorporated

## "How Not to Host a Murder" ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTHu-uv673E video]]) was a mini-module ran by Mike, with Chris joining the party as Drizzt. Jim invites his friends to his 40th birthday party, complete with a fake murder investigation, only to be murdered for real by one of the guests. The module can be downloaded [[http://www.dmsguild.com/product/181052/How-Not-to-Host-a-Murder-5e here]].

The series now has a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/crowner.php/BestEpisode/AcquisitionsIncorporated Best Episode crowner]].

## Part 1 ([[https://dnd.wizards.com/dungeon-delve/podcast-hub podcasts]]) returned to the podcast format in July 2013. It saw the party stranded in the TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms, having headquartered at Waterdeep and taken on Viari as a new hire to replace Aeofel. Binwin gets a girlfriend, Omin has a religious conversion, and the party set out to find the lost ark of Halaster, the Mad Mage.

# "Tyranny of Dragons" ties in with [[TabletopGame/TyrannyOfDragons WotC's eponymous 2014 metaplot]] concerning the Cult of the Dragon, which was launched simultaneously with the fifth D&D edition. Season eight was played in two sessions:
## "Dragons Over Easy" ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxLNP8l5CSc intro]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFTmmZaD9GI video]]). Played live at PAX East 2014, this adventure opens with the party enjoying the benefits of fame, success and franchising -- particularly Omin, [[spoiler:now a Masked Lord of Waterdeep]]. Soon, however, Acquisitions Incorporated find themselves crossing wits, words and swords with their most dangerous enemy yet when they are enlisted to retrieve a clutch of dragon eggs from Dragonspear Castle.

## "Playing With Fire" ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uuuCLin1zM intro]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S39NeK3Ho10 video]]), played live at PAX East 2015. Having arrived to Baldur's Gate safely, Acquisitions Inc. find their local chapterhouse besieged by the Flaming Fist mercenaries and fire demons, and must organize the last ditch defenses to repel an imminent assault by the Elemental Evil.

# Season 11 is based mostly on the 2017 adventure module ''Tomb of Annihilation'', which is a reboot of the classic ''TabletopGame/TombOfHorrors'', with some elements (like Whelm and the Yawning Portal Inn) thrown in from the ''Tales from the Yawning Portal'' anthology, also published in 2017 by the Wizards. The finale of this story arc was actually played in early 2018, at PAX South, making it the first season to both start and end at the same location.

## [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EjmO4cN3-U PAX West 2017]]: Before heading into the jungles, Omin, Viari, and Strix help the slowly-dying Jim win a dinosaur race on a triceratops they name "18". Finally arriving in Ommu, where the Soulmonger is supposedly hidden, they fight its defenders, with Jim and 18 double-teaming a monstrous TyrannosaurusRex. Strix saves the wizard's life, earning a release of her contract from Omin ([[BadBoss which he does not honor]]).

# "The Tower of Goldenhawk" ([[https://dnd.wizards.com/dungeon-delve/podcast-hub podcasts]]), recorded in February 2009. Several months later, the party is joined by an [[OurElvesAreBetter Eladrin]] [[TheIntern intern]] Aeofel, just in time for a mission from the local militia captain to scout out the abandoned tower of Goldenhawk. This and all subsequent adventures were written and [=DMed=] by Chris Perkins specifically for the podcast, although a modified version of this one (titled ''Storm Tower'') was published in the ''Magazine/{{Dungeon}}'' magazine.

# "Tyranny of Dragons" ties in with [[http://dnd.wizards.com/dungeons-and-dragons/story/tyrannyofdragons WotC's eponymous 2014 metaplot]] concerning the Cult of the Dragon, which was launched simultaneously with the fifth D&D edition. Season eight was played in two sessions:

# Season 12 ties into the sourcebooks ''The Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica'' (thereby crossing over with ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'') and ''Franchise/BaldursGate: Descent into Avernus''.
