Back in February, Penny Arcade announced that another season of Acquisitions Incorporated was on the way. Back in 2008, this series was one of the first actual play productions; a pioneer in what has become a prolific and widely popular business. Now, the Acquisitions Incorporated Series 2 Kickstarter has gone live, allowing fans of this beloved series to play a part in its return.
