legendary group of D&D adventurers called Acquisitions Incorporated, led
by acclaimed Dungeon Master Chris Perkins, on the big screen. This

“The Acquisitions Incorporated players are hilarious and great at
improvisation,” said Chris Perkins, Dungeon Master for “Dungeons &
Dragons Live from PAX West.” “I can’t wait to see how they handle their
biggest threat ever: GIANTS! It’s going to be brutal, suspenseful and
fun.”

Taking place in Seattle, PAX West is the premier festival that focuses
on all things relevant to gaming culture, with one of the top events
being the annual D&D Live Game, featuring Acquisitions Inc. The Live
Game has been growing in popularity since it began in 2010, and in 2015
thousands of fans waited in line for hours to witness heroic
storytelling from some of the most entertaining D&D players in the
world. This year, rather than fans being turned away, they are able to
experience PAX West through a VIP and up-close cinema experience.

“D&D fans are not going to want to miss this special event. Watching the
game with like-minded fans at your local movie theater is the next best
thing to being right at the gaming table!” Fathom Events CEO John Rubey
said.

“There’s something really special about being in Benaroya Hall, watching
a Dungeons & Dragons game live in front of thousands of people,” said
Nathan Stewart, Global Brand Director of Dungeons & Dragons at Wizards
of the Coast. “Now fans across the country are going to be able to
experience a part of that magic, laughing and hanging out with their
friends as they watch the antics of Acquisitions Inc. on a big screen.
That’s what D&D is all about.”
