Cult & Roses Chapter 1: What Happened to Jocelyn Solverson?

Author: Sanspants Radio May 30, 2026 Duration: 31:00

As if the city of Fairburn Point didn’t have enough problems, tragedy has struck the prominent Solverson Family. Their daughter, Jocelyn Solverson has gone missing and in a city so awash with darkness, the poor girl could be anywhere. Leopold’s Errant Mercenaries have sent their most discrete agents to solve the problem: the self-serious Ephraim Red, the ever-distracted Sticks and her goldfish Twigs, and Tyke Baphammer a textbook Dwarf. There’s always a chance that Jocelyn has merely run off with a boy, but in the city of Fairburn Point, nothing is ever so simple.

Step into the world of Ogg Nott, a land brimming with secrets and peril, though its inhabitants remain blissfully unaware of its impending fate. This is the setting for D&D is For Nerds, the acclaimed actual play series from Sanspants Radio. Rather than a single continuous saga, the podcast unfolds across distinct seasons, each a self-contained story with a fresh cast of characters and unique dangers to overcome. This structure makes it easy to jump in anywhere, whether you're new to tabletop roleplaying or a seasoned adventurer. For those who stick around, a deeper, centuries-spanning narrative gradually reveals itself, connecting threads between these seemingly isolated tales. The focus is on the collaborative, often hilarious journey of the players themselves as they navigate dungeons, diplomacy, and sheer chaos. Expect a blend of genuine comedy born from improvisation and camaraderie, alongside compelling fiction shaped by dice rolls and desperate decisions. It’s less about stat blocks and more about the stories that emerge when friends gather around a microphone. The result is an immersive and consistently entertaining escape into a game where anything can happen, and usually does.
