The final episode of the Series 3 Penny Arcade/PvP podcast went live last Friday. Yes, I killed Wil Wheaton's character with a very mean acid pit trap, but Wil broke the cardinal rule of Dungeons & Dragons: Never split the party. Fortunately, Wil was kind enough to focus his ire on Scott Kurtz instead of me. If you haven't heard his spectacular rant, you NEED to listen to the podcast. Like, now. Just don't do it while driving.
If you're wondering why the Series 3 podcasts are shorter than the previous series (30 minutes, down from 45 minutes), it's because Aeofel died unexpectedly and we wanted to end with a bit of a dramatic cliffhanger. What will become of Acquisitions Incorporated without their faithful intern? Will Binwin's father ever start drinking again? These are deep questions, my friends. Deep, serious questions.
One of the ideas we're considering for Series 4 is getting Wil behind the DM's screen. Aoefel's demise has left an empty desk at Acquisitions Incorporated, and although I would love to see Wil return as a vengeful revenant or something equally cool, I think Wil would have a blast playing the Dungeon Master. Let me know what you think of this idea . . . as well as any other ideas you have for Series 4!
I for one think it is an EXCELLENT idea! You both make a wonderful DM and player respectfully and I think the chance to hear you each take on different roles would be great entertainment! And although I am not a famous member of the RPG/Internet community, I would also like to be the first to volunteer my services as a 5th member of the group, making it a full party! (hey, can you blame me for trying? lol)
