Not McDonalds.
Not McDonalds.
I like the less than subtle naming of the locations on the game map.
I also think the whole thing is kind of neat, but hey.
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
I don't think Wendy's is my friend, but I still think this is funny and could be fun to play with for a night. I don't really see anything terribly insidious about that.Do you think Nintendo wants to be your friend? No, they want you to engage with their brand and boost their metrics.
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
yeah, but nintendo makes games, wendys makes shitty food that kills peopleDo you think Nintendo wants to be your friend? No, they want you to engage with their brand and boost their metrics.
one time I was so incensed by a youtube ad that I shit my pants in rage. isn't that funny guys, aren't I ridiculous? fuck me amirite
Exalted levels of shit.
Do you think Nintendo wants to be your friend? No, they want you to engage with their brand and boost their metrics.
If this game is anything close to the quality of a Wendy's 1/3lb fresh never frozen beef cheeseburger with a fresh piping hot large home style fry then I'm gonna be enjoying myself
Okay, man. Sure.
If Nintendo made some burgers for fun, I'd try one if it looked like they put some effort into it.Do you think Nintendo wants to be your friend? No, they want you to engage with their brand and boost their metrics.
Only the 1/3 lb, huh? Wendy is disappointed. Don't you think she deserves more? Don't you think you deserve more?
The writing is actually the only part that's not credited. It's probably someone (or many someones) in-house.
Alex Lopez is credited for illustrations and Collin Fogel for the maps.
I think I'm most impressed with the amount of work that went into it. The production values and dedication to a silly joke are insane.
Just ignore him. He always gets mad and then goes into this defense mode like he's being attacked.
Whoever came up with THAC0 better be regretting it every single day.
That's a question for the upcoming epic level source book.
So if I stream a one-shot of this in which Queen Wendy turns into a despotic tyrant and the Orders must rise up against her, leading to the wartorn ruin of Beef's Keep, how pissed will Wendy's marketing team be?
Sub Classes being various menu items is pretty fun.
From a skim, I do feel like to actual play this as a game you'd have to fill in a lot of blanks based on other RPG play. Or just a lot of GM Adjudacation. Which is fine, really, but obviously just hope someone's first tabletop game ever is the Wendy's game.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of ways to incorporate the long-abandoned McDonaldland lore into this.
Finally we can get some stats on the Grimace.
This thread isn't about Nintendo, pay attention.
It's about Wendy's and their (apparently uncredited) tabletop RPG
When I buy a burger from Wendy's i'm engaging in a direct transaction where I give them money and they give me a thing
This is... for what, exactly? to go viral and "THE BURGER COMPANY DID IT AGAIN LMAO!!!!"
I'm lovin it
Just for that Im gonna tell capcom to make a fast food chain called Smokin Sizzle Style.
If Nintendo made some burgers for fun, I'd try one if it looked like they put some effort into it.
this might be what they're playing on critical role tonight then (going by the 'sponsored by wendy's')...
Wait are there really no writing credits anywhere? Thought I was just missing something when I went through the PDFThis is shockingly playable. Kudos to the effort that went into it, I sure wish I knew their names!
