Feast of Legends is a Tabletop RPG Produced By... Wendy's!

"In a realm threatened by frozen beef, only true heroes will rise to defend freshness." It's not often that fast food chains produce tabletop roleplaying games, but it seems Wendy's has decided to be the first! It's a free 97-page PDF and you can download it right now.

‪This game was was created by PR agency by VMLY&R. It was designed by Matt Keck (Twitter link), Tony Marin, and others.

I am floored in the times we live in but also a little irked that while the art and cartography got credits, the writer didn't. Then again, maybe the writer didn't want to be credited.

Just guessing, the artists were probably freelancers while the writer is likely a saleried employee of Wendy's or (more probably) Wendy's marketing company doing work-for-hire.

Wendy's marketing is big on the dank memes in social media these days, so this is less surprising than I feel maybe it ought to be.

Okay it’s actually not bad

Won't have the opportunity to read through it for a bit, what's the TL;DR take?

@doctorbadwolf downloaded and read it all in 12 minutes and gave a review of "Okay it’s actually not bad". I'm assuming that wasn't a playtest review.

Monday night on Channel 4 there were two references to D&D in under an hour. The Jeopardy champion proudly proclaimed her love for D&D and then the show "the Neighborhood" had a D&D sub-plot.

To quote the Wolf of Wall Street, you gotta bump those numbers up kid.

Wait. Sitcom? Is it good? I think I’ll have to find it here in the states.

Yeah sitcom in the States. 8PM Mondays on either ABC I think. Shows OK. The episode is called Welcome to the Bully.

I believe my only response to this is "I can't even." No really, I can't. This Wendy's-Critical Role thing just gets weirder and weirder. At this point if they started marketing a Fireball Burger or Cone of Cold Shake, I wouldn't be surprised.
