    If you're anything like me you've never played a game of D&D in your life but have had something of a fascination with the concept of playing. Whether it's because you didn't know anyone else who shares your fascination or you simply couldn't work up the interest to get a group together you never got a chance to play D&D. Well, fret not! You've got Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik as Jim Darkmagic to introduce you to the newest rule set of D&D and hear the game played through the ears of a novice. Yes, in their first adventureAcquisitions Incorporated fought many foes and were given much pity by a merciful Dungeon Master but now they band will take up the mantle again.

    I'm not afraid to say that I'm absolutely giddy with excitement. The first is a blast to listen to (In fact with this news I'm going to relisten to the entire 8 part series) and clocking in at a total of 5 hours and 40 minutes, it is most certainly an epic adventure. So, for all you interested in D&D but too lazy to try the game out give PA's game a listen, hell even if you don't wish to play D&D but you like Penny Arcade, it's a damn funny adventure.

    Coolio, I loved the original
    'You do 5 damage'
    'Pfft, Jim Darkmagic does that much damage when he goes to the bathroom'
