This show also has a much different tone than the other show that features Perkins as DM.
He constantly allows his players to take the story in directions the written adventure never explores and he liberally bends or breaks the rules if doing so serves to tell a better story than could be told by the constraints of the exact rule as written. Chris Perkins seems to go out of his way to demonstrate how the rules and stories as written in official game publications are more like guidelines than gospel. NetworkĪs an official game from Wizards of the Coast, DCA is accessible through the Podcast Hub page on the D&D web site, and live sessions are played weekly on on Tuesday afternoons in the Pacific time zone. And that same character from DCA also makes an appearance in the main Acquisitions Incorporated game, which is the other show I reviewed where Chris Perkins is the DM.
I will review that show in my next post in this series. This setting is important because at least one of the main characters from DCA makes an appearance in a game that is related to the main Acquisitions Incorporated game ( Acquisitions Incorporated, The “C” Team). SettingĪs an official podcast from the publishers of D&D running stories from the published adventures, the show is based in the Forgotten Realms, which is the first of the classic D&D game worlds to be fleshed out and explored in the 5th Edition publications. As Wizards of the Coast released subsequent hardback adventures, the party found themselves fighting the giants from Storm King’s Thunder and then battling the death curse from the Tomb of Annihilation before landing in Waterdeep to be caught up in the gang war between the Zhentarim and the Xanathar Guild. This resulted in a fun way to see an adventure unfold in real time with the lead designer in the role of DM. Chris Perkins, who was the Lead Designer for the Curse of Strahd adventure, started running his cast of four players through the new adventure from the beginning. DCA started in March of 2016 at the same time that D&D released the Curse of Strahd hardback adventure for purchase and for Adventurer’s League organized play.
