I know picking up on the Maps may be a strange thing to love. I was already a huge fan of Mike Schley’s work before this book, but I think I have found a few more cartographers to follow as well. The maps are done by Jared Blando, Jason Engle, Rober Lazzaretti, and Mike Schley. Thing Two to Love about The Acquisitions Incorporated Handbook For D&D5e – The Maps Just flip to the ‘Playing with Class’ section and the first illustration you are going to see if the barbarian… who is wearing a striped dress shirt with a tie. They also do a great job conveying the feeling of the campaign with the illustrations. If there is one that I love in the book it is hard to find the artist to see if they have prints or anything that I can purchase. I wish they would credit the artist next to their illustration. There is a litany of amazing artists who have added their creations to the book and this is where my biggest complaint from the book lies. The cover is the PA style you would expect from Mike Krahulik. The Penny Arcade Art style seems to be the least present in the book. But, as you go through the book you may find one of your own favorites. I have to say I am partial to the image of the Mechanical Beholder on the TOC page. I am not the biggest fan of the PA art, and I think they realized that art style isn’t for everyone so there is a fantastic mix.
They should have a great eye for art and it should really shine. This one should be a gimmie since this comes from the guys behind the Penny Arcade comics. Thing One to Love about The Acquisitions Incorporated Handbook For D&D 5e – The Illustrations Now for the Review, let’s dive into the Five Things I really love about this book. With all the said after looking over this book, I might want to go ahead and give a campaign using this book a try. I think with the right groups it works, but I would rather go in with a semi-serious campaign as the backbone and then is humor happens at the table it is time to roll with it.
I do not like campaigns that are intended to be comedic.
Acquisitions Incorporated, as best I understand it, is a live play podcast in which the characters are in the Forgotten Realms, in this campaign it is a little more The Office or Office Space meets adventuring. The Acq Inc handbook for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition has just come out and it is a pretty fantastic book, even for someone like me who does not watch/listen to Acq Inc.
