I'll just put this here. Anyone want to make this happen?

I guess it's their reply to the KFC Dating Sim.

Ha! The villain is an evil jester.

This would be hilarious and a lot of fun to do. Set the tone light and/or ironically heavy and keep the humor tongue-in-cheek.

I have to report that I made an honest attempt to read through the entire core rulebook. Somewhere around the Order of the Sides, I realized 'funny' had been replaced completely by 'cringey'.

Trying to read it now and the first page has made me cringe so hard my teeth ache.

I am keeping a copy in my PDF library for historical sake.

WHAT I FIND MOST INTERESTING about this feast of legends book isnt the book itself, but I am dying to know the story of how it came to be.

Did Wendy's make a deal with WotC?
Did some marketing guy have a D&D game, make this up, then pitch it? (I want a youtube video of that pitch)
Did some 3rd party DnD5 enthusiast make it then pitch it to Wendy's?

Sounds like there might be a cool story in there.

Some of the art in there looks similar to currently existing DnD book art. LAME that there is no credits page in this PDF (which is what I consider cringey, because the gaming community supports itself and that stuff is important), which means I cant really hunt down if currently existing RPG artists/designers actually worked on it.

@Ghost I can help a little with that: https://twitter.com/ZweihanderRPG/status/1179938859276259328

Here’s the skinny on #FeastOfLegends: it was made by VMLY&R, the agency I worked before leaving to @AndrewsMcMeel. It was created by @TonyMarin & several talented former co-workers on the @Wendys team @VMLYR.

@Ghost They also sponsored an episode of Critical Role playing the game, which might have been a factor in the decision to make it in the first place.

"Professional RPG design" budget can probably fit comfortably in the loose change of "national fast food chain marketing" budget.

@insomniac7809 Naturally, CR got some flack for that deal...

Is it wrong that I was desperately looking for actual physical copies of this book to add to my collection?

If push comes to shove, I may actually fork over the cash to have the PDF printed and then bound.

It's just so weird I need to have it, if for anything else than a strange conversation piece.
