Exandria Unlimited is the first appearance for Aimee and Robbie in a Critical Role Productions show. Anjali previously played in the UnDeadwood miniseries, and Aabria played in The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood miniseries and appeared on Narrative Telephone. Aimee was intended as a guest player in Campaign 2. She was approached sometime in 2019 and was waiting for an opening in the narrative; her constantly changing schedule also made securing an appearance difficult. Weeks before her guest appearance, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, preventing her from playing in the campaign.

 * Exandria Unlimited is the first miniseries to feature a guest player character, Anjali Bhimani, who appeared from episodes 4 to 6.
 * In test games held before Exandria Unlimited, Robbie played a goblin named Flinttip "Flint" Bearscat, apparently a rogue, as his second test character and Aimee played a character called Deni$e (Denise, or Denise with a dollar sign), whom Aabria immediately dubbed her "favorite". These characters appeared in Narrative Telephone as the subject of Robbie's story and as the storytelling character in Aimee's. Denise was mentioned in.
