Reckless Encounters

Reckless Encounters

We’re just a group of friends from Aylesbury in the UK who love playing tabletop RPGs and telling stories. That’s what Reckless Encounters is all about: friends having fun with roleplaying games, and sharing those stories with anyone who wants to listen. No need to start from the beginning; our episodes are designed so you can jump in wherever you like. We keep it authentic, playing the way we always do, just friends enjoying the game, and inviting you along for the ride. If you love good stories and good times, welcome to the party. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
