Unbalanced Encounters is an award-nominated narrative play podcast.

We use TTRPGs to tell heartfelt, twangy stories. Each session is highly edited into a well-paced, cinematic episode.

Our first season, Rally, was nominated for

Best Actual Play (LAWEBFEST & T.O. WebFest ‘24)
Best Ensemble Cast (LAWEBFEST ‘24)
Best Use of Safety Tools (CRiT ‘24)
Best Player - Emily Greymoore (CRiT & T.O. WebFest ‘24)

Now we’re casting for our next season.

We believe strongly in the importance of representation in the TTRPG space, which is why our cast is made up of BIPOC, queer, and neurodivergent performers. We’re constantly seeking likeminded storytellers and creatives to collaborate with.

You Should Audition If You’re

🎙️ a Voice Actor

You love an accent or a funny voice, and you know how to bring the feeling to the line.

❤️ a Heartfelt Storyteller

You can use a character to tell a story, and tell a story to know a character. Feeling precedes action precedes description.

🎏 an Intuitive Improviser

You’re at home in the zone, open to the moment, and you understand the real meaning of “yes, and.”

🐸 a Silly Little Guy

You love a good laugh and know how to get it. You push to find the funny in unexpected places.

Join us in…

A Whole New World

We’ll be saying goodbye to Ostilla, the world of Rally. In Season 2, you’ll work with us to explore new corners of a new world, taking agency over world-building elements that serve your story.

Play alongside…

New Performers at New Tables

We’re also changing structure — from a 75-episode epic “main campaign” to an anthology of shorter stories ranging from 3 to 12 episodes apiece. Each of these arcs will be set in the same world, but feature different players, a different game, and a different narrative goal.
