About Kelly Schmidt

Kelly is a South African writer and gamer who loves all things fantasy. Her favorite games include WoW, BG3 and Elder Scrolls. 

Proudest Gaming Achievement

My biggest gaming achievement is probably getting Keystone Master each season in WoW for several expansions.

Favorite Games

World of Warcraft (retail), Baldur's Gate 3, Elder Scrolls Online, RuneScape, and Ratchet and Clank.

Favorite Console

I grew up jamming on the PlayStation 2 (when I could prise it from my siblings that is), so it will always have a special place in my heart.
