Wendy’s “Feast of Legends” Revisited
January 29, 2025 5:20 PM Subscribe
“We like to think of Wendy’s® as the queen of gaming, and we made that known with the release of our own tabletop role playing game (TTRPG) in 2019. Feast of Legends captures all of our competitive passions and we just had to share that with the world.” The MetaFilter response was… skeptical. (And hung up on the slave labor thing.) But reviewers said “feels like a… labor of love”. “The design work is top notch”. “The art is honestly gorgeous”. “RPG gold”. So if we can market the cosmos with a TTRPG, why not hamburgers?
Critical Role would like you to forget their one-night stand with Dirty Wendy and her big fat checkbook.
But the Internet never forgets.

And by hung up … where's the beanplating?!
Ah, found it. That's a meager plate of beans. C'mon blue! Where's the sturm und drang? The veiled threats? The passive aggressive … passive aggressiveness? The snarky comments? Where's the (God, help me) beef?
And I am so gonna run this. Roll your saves, you murder hobos! Chill for the chili goddess!

Idk how this fits in but a few years ago I stumbled upon a nice set of card stock minis that unexpectedly had a Wendy's logo. Little monsters and heroes and items etc.
They were really nice, with different fronts and backs, plastic stands, and even a sort of stage for a diorama.
I ended up buying a whole box of NOS Wendy's "create your adventure"(ca. 2018) packets just on the hopes I might I might use them for some play with my kid or maybe home brew something to go with them. eBay example here .
But anyway, Wendy's was on top of their game in those years! Every time I hear about the Feast I wonder if it somehow ties this all together but I've never managed to get that deep and part of my just wants to believe :)
