You may recognize Aabria Iyengar from her appearances on our shows Critter Hug, Narrative Telephone, and our recent The Elder Scrolls Online one-shot and we can’t wait for you all to fall in love with her as the Game Master of Exandria Unlimited!

Aabria began her tabletop roleplaying career nearly a decade ago, starting off first as a hobby, in part by watching Critical Role, and has since continued to hone her skills with campaigns featured on Happy Jacks RPG and on other popular channels such as Saving Throw, Hyper RPG, and Dimension 20. She has also written for games like Mall Kids, Demigods, and Lighthearted.

Aabria is set to lead the Exandria Unlimited players through her original and intricately woven narrative, threaded deeply into the tapestry of Tal’Dorei. She has worked extensively to craft an enthralling journey for viewers, incorporating her own flavor and spin into Exandria.

Aimee Carrero

While new to roleplaying games, Aimee Carrero is a well-practiced crafter of character and story, and her excitement for the game raises the energy across the table. She’s a true RPG master in the making.

Aimee is an actor of Dominican/Puerto Rican roots, known for her roles in live-action and animation, including the starring role of Sofia Rodriguez in the Freeform original comedy Young & Hungry, playing Disney’s first Latina princess, Elena Castillo Flores, in Elena of Avalor, and as the title role of She-Ra in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Her recent credits include recurring roles on NBC’s Blindspot and The Village, and FX’s The Americans, and with film roles in Lionsgate’s The Last Witch Hunter, and FOX’s The Devil’s Due. Her latest film, Wander Darkly premiered in Dramatic Feature Competition at the 2020 Sundance Festival, where she stars opposite Sienna Miller and Diego Luna. In March 2021, Aimee joined the cast of the highly anticipated The Boys Spinoff for Amazon Prime.

Robbie Daymond

Creating alongside Robbie Daymond is an absolute joy for everyone involved on Exandria Unlimited. We’re positive you’ll love the hype he brings to the table as well as his quick humor and generous smile with all that Rad Dad energy he claims.

Robbie is best known for his role as the current voice of Spider-man/Peter Parker in the Marvel Animated Universe (Marvel’s Spider-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers Assemble & Black Panther), Tuxedo Mask in Sailor Moon, Prompto in Final Fantasy XV, Akechi in Persona 5, Megumi in Jujutsu Kaisen, Jesse in Infinity Train: Book II, Chico Bon Bon in Chico Bon Bon, and Sway Sway in Breadwinners, among hundreds of others.

While Robbie is best known for his voice acting work, he’s taken to this new storytelling form with gusto, largely thanks to having grown up as a huge fantasy nerd with an MFA in Theater and heavy background in improv, making him a perfect addition to Critical Role Land.
