Hi, I'm Ben McKenzie. (No, not that one.) I'm an Australian actor, writer, game designer, creative arts teacher and podcaster.

I'm also an old-school roleplayer both on tabletop and the computer, and old enough to have played the original Baldur's Gate when it came out. I much prefer the new one!

I spend most of my time on the wiki on maintenance and copyediting to improve readability, accuracy and flow, including in documentation of templates and the like. I'm only in the middle of Act 2 in my main playthrough (after playing for many hours in Early Access), so I'm concentrating on general game concepts and early game content to a oid any major spoilers.

I run a (much less pretty) wiki of my own, the Guild of Recappers & Podcasters, which indexes episodes of podcasts about the books of Terry Pratchett, and I'm also on the admin team for the L-Space Web's Discworld & Terry Pratchett Wiki.

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the above, I'm also trying to catalogue BG3's many Discworld references, as well as any others that crop up.

I'm a big fan of Lupperdiddle Swires and hope to write a page for him soon.
