The current name of this series article is overly lengthy and not what people think of as the title of this series. To my knowledge, everyone calls the podcast "Acquisitions Incorporated"; I propose that as the new name.

Hmm, didn't know people called it that. Well sounds fine to me.

I've only ever heard of it as Penny Arcade Dungeons And Dragons Podcast.

It's also what Wizards of the Coast calls them.

And work pages are named after their official title.

Acquisitions Incorporated is the name of the creator, not the work.

The gaming group that creates the podcasts is called Acquisitions Incorporated. The official name of the work is the current title of the page.

Evidence that the official name is now "Acquisitions Incorporated": The two PAX games are called, in their title boards, "Acquisitions Incorporated: Prisoners of Slaughterfast" and "Acquisitions Incorporated: The Last Will and Testament of James Darkmagic I" respectively. (See the opening to each event on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqXqK3ZlqWI and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmTINEnGwnc. You can also hear, in the latter, the minstrels conclude the "theme song" with "Acquisitions Incorporated!" where you would normally hear a title.)

Additionally, the "title page" for the second podcast is labeled "Acquisitions Incorporated" (see the artwork on http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4pod/20090218).

The title might have at some point been "Penny Arcade Dungeons And Dragons Podcast" (although I can't find that exact phrasing anywhere official) but I suggest that they have since switched to something less clunky, and for that matter less inaccurate (as they've switched from podcasts to live performances).

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
