Our new friends at the Wendy's corporation stepped up and offered us a medium rare opportunity to play a new tabletop rpg system that they themselves developed called Feast of Legends.
If this sounds crazy to you... Yes!
We thought the exact same thing, but Wendy's sent us their rule book and this thing is a legit rpg system.
Now this is a brand new setting for all of us (so apologies, we aren't 100 percent sure about any of the rules. Tonight is about having a ridiculous time coming up with hamburger puns and enjoying a lot of free Wendy's food that we just got delivered a few minutes ago.

Liam:"Just so you know, I'm going to 'Rules Lawyer' the shit out of this."
Also, we're going to try not to curse. But... you know. Also, big thanks to Jessica Nguyen for the amazing character art which you may see soon or have seen.
Anyway, players, if you're ready, let's dig in, shall we?
and play Feast of Legends!

Feast of Legends: Rise from the Deep Freeze

Alternate frontend VoD

Runtime Break start
2h 39m 1h 21m

GM - Sam Riegel
Aunt Arctica (Order of the Frosty) - Marisha Ray

You four are warriors in the realm of Beef's Keep. The nations of Beef's Keep have been splintered over disagreements on how to treat their subjects. The United Clown Nations have led their people into a collective darkness known as The Deep Freeze.
But while the borderlands may feel cold and desolate, you reside in one nation that remains a true bacon of hope, Freshtovia. Known for its comfortable seating, signature dishes and redheaded ruler Queen Wendy. As Queen of Freshtovia, Wendy has clapped back at all attacks on her borders maintaining her nation's integrity even while my own integrity is quickly fading.
We join Freshtovia at a milestone. Queen Wendy has reigned for 50 years and subjects from far and wide have gathered for this momentous occasion. They're celebrating with a festival, and the city is full of Beef's Keep's finest vendors selling all your standard delicious Wendy's fair like the kind you'll find right here at our table. As well as some experimental new carnival foods like asiago ranch-flavored cotton candy, chili-flavored funnel cake, and baked potato-flavored soda. There are games, there are competitions, the streets are adorned with streamers in white, light blue, and red, and the people are amassing to hear Queen Wendy address her people.
You four know this city circle well. You are all "Bunsmen" serving in the Royal Patty Patrol. Sworn to defend the queendom at all costs. But your shift just ended, so you are free to enjoy the festival as citizens.
But beef-ore that, maybe you should introduce yourselves and describe your characters.
So, you guys work together. You guard the city together. You go on patrols all the time. You are friends; you're familiar with each other. You just got off your shift and you're in the city circle. There's several familiar buildings around the circle that you recognize. There's the Snacksmith, where basic provisions are sold. There's Wendy's Restaurant and Inn. There's the Royal Gardens with their familiar golden statue of Emperor Dave Thomas.
You walk past the Saucem Fountain, where asiago ranch spews forth from a spout, and vendors and game booths all around. You pass some game booths on either side of the thoroughfare here. The pig races are going on next to you. There's a game called "Biggie and Strong", which is a sort of carnival strength test game. There's a game called fit a fry, and there's a game called "Going Four for Four", run by a lady named Bebe Cue.

Ok they got me. First let's play I've wanted to watch in a long time. Curse you and your charisma and banter, Critical Role!

It's so goofy and fun, I liked it.
Apparently this episode is one of the few that were ever removed and the link provided is from a fan's YouTube page. This article illustrates some of the fan criticisms and the resolution.
