Hey, we're featuring a few episodes of Tales from the Cryptid on Roleplay Retcon's feed, hosted by investigative journalist Gaston Leroux (who sounds a lot like Jensie, haha what a kooky coincidence). Leroux has proof of what happened at the Opera Garnier in Paris in 1992, and the real story is wilder than anything you think you know about it. Guest starring Remick! Check out her games and her act...

Phantom of the Opera will be back next episode, but for now let's make a Holiday special! You know, the ones that flood TV this time of year and are all about Santa and reindeer and dentists and such. For ours, we'll be playing Alex Roberts' And to All a Good Night, an adaptation of her storytelling game For the Queen that helps us process our weird feelings about Santa Claus. | Intro and outro mu...

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...

There's something wrong with Abraham Lincoln, and the toys must rally the rest of their army to liberate the charging station before they power down forever.

Battle Princess Gorgana) are a new kind of "smart toy" that can "play back."

We made 100 episodes of Roleplay Retcon! Whoa! To celebrate, we performed a live Retcon in our Discord server of Disney's The Country Bears, a doomed attempt to repeat the success of Pirates of the Caribbean by making another movie based on a Disney park attraction. We play Honey Heist by Grant Howitt and attempt to form the greatest (non-human) country music band of all time.  Cover of "Wildfire"...

Take a seat next to the fire in our 12,000-square-foot drawing room. Gold-plated cigar? Kobe brandy? There, now that you're settled, let's talk honestly about Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and how Roleplay Retcon's version stacks up against it. We'll while away the evening with some fan-casting, some audience submissions for how they would have turned a movie dud to movie stud, and a...
