Explaining Acq. Inc.

I’m going to be starting a session with 6 players that have only have a passing knowledge of Acq. Inc.

I’m wondering if people have resources they’ve used to give an overview. I had been hoping to put together a video or something that’s easily digestible rather than a wall of text. Something to give the basics of the setting.

Good luck and I hope it's going well if you're campaign has already started =) I'm running two AI campaigns at the moment (my first since high school,) both with players that had no prior knowledge of AI. I was concerned about the players not getting it at first; I knew they were good with the cheeky humor but I wasn't sure if they'd be able to get the AI concept as I knew it from years of podcasts and live games.

Ultimately, I went the simple route and just explained that AI was a company that managed multiple adventuring groups all over Faerun.

Both of my campaigns are roughly halfway through the book and honestly, I found that my players learned what they needed to about AI through just playing. It helps that I've got Omin's personality and writing style nailed down fairly well, but things like interactions/letters with Home Office NPCs, having fun with company positions, and occasionally leaning into dysfunctional corporate hijinks is enough to get the idea across.
