If you could have an air of smugness about it too, that would be great.
I already downloaded the pdf.
What are you so angry about? Do you yell at the TV when ads come on?
I will repeat my two major comments.
1) The rules for the game appear to be untested and kinda suck.
2) There is no fucking design or game team credits page. Seriously, its all attributed to Wendys themselves.

Uh oh we're starting to come full circle.
Fuck brands and their pandering bullshit.
I'm 19, I don't watch TV. But you better believe I yell at ads on YouTube trying to peddle garbage at me in "cute" and insidious ways
"Even with a nat 1 and a negative modifier, you cannot deny the incredible flavour of Wendy's" - huh, the module has really specific responses to die roll outcomes.
Or just don't make a thread bemoaning brands with a link to the thing they're promoting.
It's kinda like getting upset at a benign symptom that occurs from a serious illness.
I'm too young to be a bitter old hippie, man...
I'm a little annoyed at some of the people in here. Some nerds went to a pitch meeting at Wendy's and asked if they could make a tabletop RPG, and the company said yes. This is a bad thing...how? It's a fun idea, even if the game ends up not so great. Do you tilt at commercials, billboards, radio ads, coupons? Do you live your entire life angry at fast food companies?
I'm much more concerned at the game developers apparently not being credited. Poor work or no, that's a huge red flag in my book.

Why are people upset about this? Are you not capable of ignoring advertising that you don't like?
OP
OP
The sigh is less "fuck brands for promotions" and more "really? An RPG? Really!?!". I'm more annoyed than anything else. If I didn't want to share it...I wouldn't have shared it.
The vast majority of the posters in here have basically said exactly what you said. This is "outrage culture" in a nutshell (and why it doesn't actually exist).
Yup. Thats bullshit enough for me to skip the shows they're gonna sponsor.
if you subscribe to youtube red you can watch ad-free videos and keep them playing when using other apps or when the screen is locked, save videos for when you really need them – like when you're on a plane or commuting and download their new music app and listen without interruptions. try now for free for 1 month then 11.99 each month after. recurring billing. cancel anytime.
I sure hope these people never enjoy a movie trailer.
The lack of credits is the only thing bothersome about this, that is shitty.
On a second look, this might be a secret ploy by D4 manufacturers to finally sell them in bulk.
It's a tabletop pen-and-paper game. You play on a board, but you also need a Game Master and most of it happens in your.. imagination!
Wait, why is this bad? I don't get it. Do you only play indie games? (Although most indies probably have their own S-Corp or LLC set up as well.)
Wrong, the fight against the dark art of frozen beef matters. Try Wendys™ new Bacon Jalapeno cheeseburger using a quarter pound of fresh never frozen beef on a toasted premium bun and see for youself.
I don't know anymore, I'm just a fucking idiot
off-topic, what does it mean for a bun to be premium? is it better than most buns? better than their other buns? do you pay a surcharge for it?
I think the frothiness is not that "a company is trying to sell you something oh no!" because this dumb shit is free.
It's more its a "Wendy's wants you to engage with their brand and get your friends along in the 'funny social media engagement' to boost some metric somewhere"
It's the bad ESA slide thing of "we can deposit good will chits so when someone fucks up we can point to it" or something
