In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Castles and Cauldrons, Part 1,” in which Jimmy’s cousin Len introduces Jimmy to the wonderful(?) world of Castles and Cauldrons, a game(?) loosely based on an idea of a concept of a rumor of what Dungeons and Dragons might be like in an alternate universe. (We’ll let the inaccuracies go eventually.) Len insists it’s just a game, but Whit senses that spiritual warfare is afoot as Len constantly pushes Jimmy beyond his comfort zone and into darker and more uncomfortable imaginative territory. Also, a little education on the subject of actual TTRPGs (Table Top Role-Playing Games), discussions of cults, bullying, nerd culture, and our own lengthy experiences with roleplaying games.
