Penny Arcade's Kickstarter for Acquisitions Incorporated: The Series 2 has come to a close, as the company secured over $400k in funding. The company basically decided they were going to hit the reset button on their popular D&D live show and podcast, as they will start anew with a brand new setup, the return of both DM's, and a new story for you to enjoy. But to get it up and running, they needed funding, which the fans were more than happy to provide as they raised $424,478 from 3,115 backers. We got more info about it below as we now wait to hear when this new show will launch.

"The successful funding of Series 2 will enable the pioneering live show to build upon its impressive legacy with bigger and more elaborate productions, highlighting the narrative prowess of dungeon-masters Jeremy Crawford, Lead Rules Designer of Dungeons & Dragons, and Series 1's Chris Perkins, Senior Story Designer of Dungeons & Dragons. As a pivotal trailblazer in the space, Acquisitions Incorporated paved the way for a new era of roleplay adventure podcasts, including household names like Critical Role and Dimension 20. Now in its 15th year, its fandom and franchise have grown significantly to include annually anticipated live performances at Penny Arcade Expos (PAX), its own tabletop board games, and even an official D&D Sourcebook published in 2019."

"We're basically a classic punk band getting the crew back together to show these kids how a real party's supposed to go down, with more excessively nerdy fantasy stage designs, of course," said Jerry Holkins, co-founder, Penny Arcade. "Our entire cast is incredibly thankful to all of our backers and we can't wait to make some magic for the world this summer."
