Aabria has also appeared as a guest on multiple *Critical Role* shows.

## **Critical Role Productions**

Aabria first appeared on the fourth episode of *Critter Hug*, where she was interviewed by Matthew Mercer and Mica Burton. She then appeared as a guest in two episodes of *Narrative Telephone* and guest-starred in The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood as Tavima.

During the hiatus between Campaign Two and Three, Aabria was Game Master for the eight-part miniseries *Exandria Unlimited* and returned for the two-part *Exandria Unlimited: Kymal*, which together comprised the first canonical multi-session campaign set in Exandria led by someone other than Matt. With ten episodes total, she became second to Matt for the most episodes played as Dungeon Master, overtaking Liam O'Brien's five episodes.

She also appeared in "Let's Play Queen by Midnight!".
