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.

If they start giving out miniatures with their food, I'm all in.

They need to hire you, that's how you market. Having said that Wizkids would have a fit

You know, it being part of a full-on marketing push like that... makes it less cool.

Yeah but anybody who didn’t think this smelled like a full-on marketing push after the first page isn’t paying much attention.

In addition to the Ice Jester being pretty nakedly Ronald McDonald, the Creepingvale probably being about the creepy Burger King, there's sass all over the place (the Order of the Frosty is hilarious).

And you not only get in-game buffs for eating Wendy's out of game, you get DEBUFFS for eating something else. Even friggin' chips.

On the map I also see references to Panda Express, Jack-in-the-Box, Long John Silver’s, Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s, and “roast beach” (Arby’s?).

As long as it's not a bite of frozen beef, apparently.

What cracks me up about all that is, frozen patties aren’t actually any worse than “fresh”. It’s not like veggies, where you often lose some of the crispness. In fact, you can make a much juicier, more succulent, burger by cooking from frozen.

But it’s all just marketing.

And I’m all about dumb crap like this.

Can you imagine being the person working for Wendy's and they approach you and say "Hey, we want you to make an rpg about our products. No, seriously."

 

[CleverNickName]

Wendy's has you right where they want you, then...

Well yeah, but they've "had me right where they want me" for years now. They had me at "Baked Potato."
