My intention is not to critique shows but to help people find them based on what they enjoy.
Right now, the plan is for one review per month since I am just one person and I listen to at least 5-10 episodes per review. I plan my reviews ahead of time to make sure I have a backlog, so please keep in mind I already have planned reviews for the next three months at least.

WHO AM I?
Many know me online as RagePandaPajamas, a persona I created in 2017 when I started streaming video games on Twitch, and others will know me as Ciera.
I have almost 15 years of professional live production experience in various roles. I have two degrees, Theatre Design and Production from Oklahoma City University and Motion Graphics Design from Austin Community College. I currently work in Virtual Events.
I fell in love with the TTRPG community during the lockdown of 2020 when all my work came to a screeching halt. The joy I received from Actual Plays felt like the genuine friendships and passion for creating that I used to get from community theatre.
WHERE HAVE YOU SEEN ME?
I maintained a channel on Twitch for a good 5 years or so before burning out. Recently you may have seen me on shows like Game Master Monday, Roll D5, and Wanderer’s Haven. I will soon appear on Tabletop Talespinners. I also run a casual game for my friends on our YouTube channel Dice-Sociation.
You can see a list of my Actual Play performances here.
WHAT GOT ME INTO WRITING REVIEWS?
I had a big-brain moment in June of 2024 when I hadn’t seen reviews of Actual Plays that are of the same level as those you see for movies and theatre productions. When I worked in community Theatre we would be ecstatic to read any reviews about our shows and I wanted to bring that to TTRPG Podcasts.
I especially wanted to bring more people outside of Tabletop Role Playing Games to the genre. I believe everyone can enjoy improvised storytelling! My focus right now is mostly indie productions, both video and audio, but I do hope to someday expand.
