Roleplay Retcon re-imagines disappointing movies using tabletop RPGs, the power of hindsight, and jokes. Each series is a mini-campaign based on an offending film, injected with action, adventure and comedy. Each campaign also uses a different RPG system!

Ben and Jensie play It Takes This Long, a Roleplay Retcon original TTRPG, to remake the 1998 Harrison Ford/Anne Heche desert island adventure Six Days, Seven Nights.

Senior employee space case Stew, new hire and lifelong nerd Dash Starkiller, and the sensitive part timer Rose are all looking for the store's cat, which is missing on the most important day of the year, the day a minor celebrity comes to Empire Records and boosts their sales. That celebrity is Denise Leary, a formerly famous singer songwriter who got caught up in a plagiarism scandal years ago. The missing cat isn't the only disaster; Dash has broken a faucet that threatens to flood the store, and the uptight GLAG organization is putting pressure on the community to boycott Empire Records.

Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever (2002) is infamous for being the worst reviewed movie in Rotten Tomatoes history. Pretty much anything would improve it, but we're going to focus on adding some romantic tension! Jensie teams up with master game designer Alex Roberts to play her game Star Crossed, which is about people who want to kiss, but shouldn't because it would be disasterous, forbidden, or a real career killer.

Tales Yet Told is an Award-Winning, Indie TTRPG actual play podcast and multi-media production group, run by a stunning lineup of primarily LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC cast-members and friends who are dedicated to telling weird and fun stories full of imagination, thoughtful characterization, and inclusivity.

Kendo and company play Babes in the Woods by World Champ Game Co., a Powered By The Apocalypse game inspired by Over the Garden Wall. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roleplayretcon/message

The Spirit's nemesis, The Octopus, is believed to be dead, and The Spirit wants to know if it's true and if it is, who did it and how. Meanwhile, The Spirit's number 2 baddie, Dr. Cobra, is conducting his own investigation (in a somber, but gorgeous Maxi gown) to make sure he isn't next on the killer's list. The dulcet-voiced Sand Serif comes calling on her old friend The Spirit, hoping to get his help in tracking down a mysterious item in The Octopus's possession...

Frankly, there hasn't been a good film adaptation Gaston Leroux's early 20th century novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, a.k.a. The Phantom of the Opera. Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical is good, but it's also a far walk from the original book, which is an absolute banger and hilarious to boot (and the 2004 Joel Schumacher movie was panned by both critics and Phantom fans alike). So, Jensie has decided we're not remaking just one movie, but all of them! That's not the only wild choice we've made: We'll be telling our story using the TTRPG Kids on Bikes, except with no kids and no bikes, just to prove how flexible this game actually is. In this episode we'll go over Kids on Bikes and introduce our characters: Special Guest Remick from Tales From the Forgotten Troupe plays the up-and-coming Opera Diva Christine Daaé, Alex is the well-mannered and romantic Viscount Raoul de Chagny and Ben is... someone we don't know much about, yet. | Guest starring Remick!
