History Recap / FilmRerollJaws

* ForWantOfANail: Because Brody spent too long dealing with the coroner and the mayor, we miss out on Alex Kitner's death scene as Brody only learns about it after the fact.

* NotHisSled: Discussed: When Jon asks about the possibility of the shark ''missing'' Chrissie during the prologue, Paulo admits that he rolls for certain critical events prior to the start of the campaigns he DMs before any player involvement occurs to see if they still play out, with the event not happening on a Crit Fail.

* OffTheRails: Downplayed. The campaign follows the movie pretty closely, [[KillEmAll but it has a very different ending]]. At the end of their ''[[Recap/FilmRerollHalloween1978 Halloween]]'' campaign, Paulo explains that this happened because the plot of this movie is strongly connected to the motivation of its characters. Thus, the only part of it which really could change -- and did -- was the final confrontation with the shark.

* WhatTheHellHero: Kara is arguably the most upset over Jon Miller's take on Brody, outright calling him "the worst cop" more than once, and even states ''he's worse than the mayor''.

* RonTheDeathEater: [[invoked]] Discussed: Annoyed with how fixated Jon was on trying to arrest Tom over Chrissie's death, despite the fact that the true culprit is ''a shark'', Kara makes a point of reminding him that "the movie ain't called 'Toms'". This then causes a brief discussion on what that film would look like, complete with the conclusion that [[Music/GiorgioMoroder "Tom's Diner"]] would be the film's {{Leitmotif}}.
-->'''Kara''': [[{{Tagline}} Just when you thought it was safe to get on the moped again...]] ''[[{{Tagline}} Toms]]''

-->'''Jon''': Well, you know, shark attacks... It's unlikely to repeat, it's probably a one time thing... Uh, I think... You know, no reason to cause a panic.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Brody is now a CowboyCop who immediately suspects Tom of murder when he wants to file a missing person report, and shows NoSympathy towards Mrs. Kinter when she blames him for the death of her son. The other players comment explicitly that he comes off as a worse villain than the unsympathetic mayor.

Starring Jon Miller as Brody, Kara “Pitr” Strait as Hooper, Andy Hoover as Quint (FirstAppearance), and Paulo Quiros as the Dungeon Master.

* BehindTheBlack / ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Variation: After Pitr establishes that Tom waited on the other side of a sand dune after Brody and his deputy Jeff discover Chrissie's body, once Jon tries having Tom get arrested, Pitr point blank decides Tom had left.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Discussed: After Jon (with some prodding from Paulo) decides to close the beaches ''after'' Alex Kitner is eaten, Pitr points out to Jon how half of the film's plot ''[[TooDumbToLive was to get the beaches closed]]''.
* CuttingTheKnot: Right as the group is preparing to leave to go after Jaws, Brody tries to have Jeff come along (as an extra pair of hands would be beneficial), only for Pitr to argue that they should just leave him behind. After Brody tries to instead reassign Jeff to watching after the beach[[note]]as Jeff, confused, thinks this means he's getting promoted to Sheriff[[/note]], [[KickTheDog he decides to just fire Jeff instead out of impatience.]]

* EpicFail: Pitr and Andy's attempt to dual-play the coroner runs into some obvious logistical problems as they try to coordinate speaking.

-->'''Pitr!The Coroner''': (at the same time) Here's the thing. If this were a shark, it would make me stop believing in sharks!

* ExactWords: At one point, Quint says that he is "in the middle of a pancake." Pitr points out that he never said that he was eating it, and might be using it as a sleeping bag for all they know.

* HarmfulToMinors: After dealing with Chrissie's death, Brody goes home and tells his wife ''and child'' about his day. After Pitr expresses shock that he told a kid about it, Jon says he only mentioned there was a death (which even then is a bit too much).

-->'''Pitr''': So, you don't trust him to spell the word "beach" without an R, but you trust him to close ''all of the beaches'' in a fucking ''beach town''.

* SchrodingersGun: When Hooper loads his equipment onto Quint's boat, Paulo explicitly allows Pitr an unspecified gizmo to be identified later at a plot-appropriate moment. After the expedition's weapons are lost overboard along with the people carrying them, Pitr resolves that the gizmo is a spare harpoon gun, which she uses to finish Jaws off.

* SoreLoser: Pitr describes herself as such after the campaign ends, [[MutualKill even though it ended on a draw.]]
-->'''Pitr''': I feel like the mark of a true sore loser is that they feel like a draw is a lose, and that's how I feel right now.

-->'''Pitr''': Were you about to say "Have you tried calling her cellphone?"

-->'''Pitr''': '''[[RageBreakingPoint SOMEONE GOT EATEN BY A SHARK!]]'''

-->'''Pitr''': ''You knew that!''

-->'''Pitr''': You're the ''worst'' cop!

* VoiceOfTheLegion: The Coroner randomly gets this, as Andy and Pitr both want to play him.

* WhatTheHellHero: Pitr is arguably the most upset over Jon Miller's take on Brody, outright calling him "the worst cop" more than once, and even states ''he's worse than the mayor''.
* YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe: After Jon decides ''against'' closing down the beaches after confirming Chrissie was killed by a shark, Pitr bluntly asks if he changed characters mid-campaign.

-->'''Pitr''': ''Did you switch characters to the mayor?''

Starring Jon Miller as Brody, Pitr Strait as Hooper, Andy Hoover as Quint (FirstAppearance), and Paulo Quiros as the Dungeon Master.

-->'''Pitr''': You're the worst cop!

-->'''Andy!The Coroner''': (at the same time) Here's the thing. If this were a shark, if would make me stop believing in God!
-->'''Pitr!The Coroner''': (at the same time) Here's the thing. If this were a shark, if would make me stop believing in sharks!

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: A major contributing factor to [[AdaptationalVillany Jon's less-than-ideal bout as Brody]] is the fact that Jon never saw ''Jaws'' before.

* CuttingTheKnot: Right as the group is preparing to leave to go after Jaws, Brody tries to have Jeff come along (as an extra pair of hands would be beneficial), only for Pitr to argue that they should just leave him behind. After Brody tries to instead reassign Jeff to watching after the beach[[note]]as he, confused, thinks this means he's getting promoted to Sheriff[[/note]], [[KickTheDog he decides to just fire Jeff instead out of impatience.]]

* BittersweetEnding: Our protagonists defeated Jaws and saved the future of the town, [[TheGreatestStoryNeverTold but nobody will ever know it as all three of them died in the process]].
