Chapter 3: Player Options - Acquisitions Incorporated

Chapter 3: Player Options. At Acquisitions Incorporated, no one ever asks, "Should it be done?" Instead they ask, "How can it be done-and then how do we turn what we've done into cold, hard cash?" It's this kind of forward thinking that brings new power and magical understanding to the world-and which keeps the Acq Inc humanoid resources team constantly on the lookout for new talent. Were you kicked out of your village for experimenting with powers no mortal should dare trifle with? Acquisitions Incorporated has a place for you on its team. Those pesky, gibbering voices that plague your sleep? Acq Inc allows employees to work all night if that fits their skill set. And if it was ordained at your birth by the seers and mystics that your destiny would one day see you bathe in the blood of your enemies, Acq Inc has no opinion on personal hygiene as long as the job gets done. The amazing diversity on display across the full range of Acquisitions Incorporated franchises and commercial operations epitomizes the all-inclusive nature of an Acq Inc campaign. No matter what your favorite type of character, there's something for you in this chapter. Or, if you like, you can engage with the entrepreneurial spirit of the campaign by using this material to inspire ideas of your own. Do you want to embrace the feel of Acq Inc right from the get-go?

And finally, you'll get to meet some of the rival factions your characters will inevitably crash up against in the frenzied race for franchise success. Backgrou...
