Roleplay Retcon

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. This is very hot.

The end of this MillerFrankin' movie! The Spirit solves the case, all on his own, with no help from anyone while Sand Serif searches for her McGuffin, and Dr. Cobra makes an important scientific discovery that nobody cares about.

Content warnings: gun violence, sexual content, mental illness.

The badge found on Sand Saref's traitorous henchman leads The Spirit to the hospital wing of the Splooge, Central City's district-spanning waterpark. Meanwhile, Dr. Cobra confronts fellow villain Thurgood Cornwallis about his nefarious dulling devices, and Sand dance battles her way to buried treasure.

Content warnings: knife violence, sexual content, mentions of death.

Friends, we have so much recorded, but unfortunately none of it is The Spirit, so this week we're hosting an episode of Tales Yet Told, an actual play podcast GMed by our new friend Kendo, who will play the eponymous character in our upcoming remake of The Adventures of Pluto Nash!

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. This is the first episode of the Strangers in the Woods series, a surreal and nostalgic story about Little Troublemakers struggling to survive and escape the terrifying forest world Sublime while being hunted by the mysterious Lord of this world: The Stranger. 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.

We're remaking Frank Miller's cinematic take on Will Eisner's The Spirit, which got buried by critics and lost tens of millions of dollars at the box office. 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...

Content warnings: Gun violence, death, sex.

We're remaking Frank Miller's cinematic take on Will Eisner's The Spirit, which got buried by critics and lost tens of millions of dollars at the box office. But like the eponymous character, it rises from its grave in Wildwood Cemetery with new purpose! In this episode, we create our version of Central City using the worldbuilding and character creation phase of Noirlandia, a storytelling game about making weird and wild noir stories.

Just a warning: This one is much more Adults Goofing Off than usual. It gets rowdy. Content warnings: Violence, death, sex.
