This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Actually printed it out and read the entire thing instead of working on research last night (dumb, I know, but there is only so much effort you can put into giving a fuck about reading conference papers).

I'd rate this a 9.5/10, overall. Whoever wrote this had a dumbass premise (FIGHT THE BURGER WARS) and did not phone in any aspect whatsoever. It's like they took to the challenge Muhammad Ali would approach a title bout: 100% balls out. This is how you turn a stupid joke into a coherent, extremely playable game.

Yep, that's more or less how I see it too. Some of the mechanics could be explained better, but it serves its purpose in spades.

Quote from: HappyDaze;1108054I feel the same way about a D&D 5e game using the Acquisitions Incorporated book. It's supposed to be comedy, and I understand that even though I don't appreciate the humor it is supposed to generate.

Same here. But then I really hate "self aware" product and "self aware" humour which their AI stuff reeks of. That and I hate working for villains. It is why I eventually quit DragonFable years ago despite having a lifetime VIP.

And that is the big difference here. One book can do this well, and the next can fail miserably. And what one player likes the next may hate. Though hilariously the Acquisitions Incorperated campaign over on Neverwinter is near unanimously hated.

Exactly. It may be a company product. (No it is not a commercial.) But it is a surprisingly well done one. I think some of the jokes and puns could have been delivered a little better. But I suspect they were working within some sort of constraint to not be too obvious what companies they were ribbing. Sompare that to the slap-dash Sneak, King game which while shoddily made, at least the commercial for it had the right sense of humour.

That is a hard thing to be certain about, especially given the huge difference in their styles

Well from Sneak, King we can assume Burger King is a Rogue.
Wendy is obviously some sort of Paladin.
Donald is if course a Warlock and eldritch horror. (especially if you ever saw some of his older iterations.)
Arby is hard to pin down. Possibly a Ranger.
And the Colonel is certainly a Wizard what with the beard and all.

Not to mention his uncanny ability to glamour his visage from appearance to appearance...
