New Penny Arcade podcast in the works


4th Edition


On today's update for the penny arcade website Tycho mentions:

"We're about to record the next D&D podcast, if you're interested in that kind of thing. If the last session was any indicator of future performance, wish me luck."

Very exciting!

On that note has anyone used the Storm Tower adventure from the D&D website in their own campaigns? If so, how did you like it? I'm giving thought to incorporating it into future sessions.

Awesome!!

Those podcasts are great entertainment. And I know of a few lapsed players that have been motivated to get "back in the game" because of them.

I've been listening to both series again recently on my drives to work. Binwin nearly killed me during one of his "flaming dwarf" routines. Laughing + hot coffee in mouth + driving in traffic not a good combination.

I can't wait to see what Acquisitions Incorporated gets up to next.


I'm hoping Wil Wheaton is taking part in the new podcast and that they also manage to get another "celebrity" guest as well (even if it isn't Vin Diesel...)

I think they should keep it to just four players. Makes it far easier to follow. D&D, when just listened to, has proven significantly more entertaining then I would have expected but I think they need to try and keep it comparatively simple or its to hard to follow who is saying or doing what.


I loved the podcast currently, I'm not sure if I'm for or against another player. I think they all have their own distinct personalities as is so I think it probably wouldn't be that hard to track who is who but I also wouldn't want it to become too cluttered with nonsensical (albeit hilarious ) ramblings.

I suppose only time will tell.

No one has used the storm tower eh?

Well if it was Vin Diesel his voice would be unique enough to be able to tell when he spoke, but I agree, during the previous podcasts, I got mixed up on who was doing what.

Heard about it any chance its in their annual release?


"It's Fallcrest, midwinter, and snow has settled over everything. Acquisitions Incorporated has been holed up in their favorite sanctuary, The Silver Unicorn, enjoying the warmth of a fire. All is calm… until they meet their old acquaintance, Nathan Farringray—looking troubled and with a tale of woe that can only be solved by Acquisitions Inc.

Over at Five League House, Farringray's companion, Barton has been keeping on eye on local bandits. A number of merchant wagons have been besieged in recent days, and the trade route has become jeopardized.

Acquisitions Inq. agrees to perform this small favor, checking on Farringray's friend… with the assumption that adventure will soon find them!"

Oh, why do they have to find out they released it now? I better remember to listen to it in the morning...

Still, another podcast! Good! Great! Wonderful!

Jim winks!

Much obliged!


I thought this one was great, it's funny how between the three podcasts it's shifted more and more about roleplaying which is great! I can't wait to see what they get into!

I was wondering if they were going to introduce a new player to highlight the PHB3 like they did with Wil and the PHB2 but yes it looks like another good series has started!
