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.

As food: Well, it is fast food. You get what you pay for. I have childhood nostalgia for the frostys...

As a company... well, without going into specifics, there's folks who make good arguments that, as consumers, we might want to go to Burger King instead. Which is a drag, due to the aforementioned frosty-nostalgia being in conflict with wanting to buy from companies I can respect more.

burger king sucks. Only thing worse is McDonald’s

Here’s the skinny on #FeastOfLegends: it was made by VMLY&R, the agency I worked for before leaving to Andrews McMeel Universal to make #ZweihanderRPG full time. It was designed by Matt Keck (@smugkeck on Twitter), Tony Marin (@tonymarin on Twitter) & several talented former co-workers on the Wendy’s team. It’s a clever, freshly-cooked (but never frozen) RPG!

If you guys aren't watching the playthrough on the Critical Role Twitch stream right now, you are seriously missing out. Missing out on puns. Oh god, the puns.

Seriously, this glorified burger ad is surprisingly playable and fun. 10/10 stars.

Ok, I'm trying to prep this to run tomorrow and there's some holes.

• The Strength and Grace stats alude to modifying attacks, but the attack rule doesn't mention modifiers.
• Arcana is for caster attacks perhaps, but it is unclear what is or isn't a spell.
• The Graceful weapon property has no mechanics.

Embracing a near magical sweetness... the Order of the Frosty is perfected in Freshtovia’s only cold zone — a zone that never breaks down and is always there when the citizens need it.

This is truly a wonderful time to be alive, folks. The above quote actually made me laugh out loud. Way to go, Wendy's. You win.

Aw, and the website even has a die roller: (Roll The Dice | Feast Of Legends Wendy's Role-Playing Game). They're making sure no one is left behind with this.

And seriously, I agree with the folks earlier on, if they had a proper Kid's Meals, they could be giving away minis and dice for this.

Also: they have a Twitch?

I've been getting better at cutting out fast food from my life . . . . DAMMIT!

Now I want to gather the gang for a roleplay session at the local Wendy's . . . . . if they offered the dice at the store, I probably wouldn't be able to resist!

Hold the starch (buns, fries, etcetera), and you’ll do fine!

This is both weird and rad.

Player: "Where's the beef?!"

GM: "Roll to make a Perception check."
