WHO ARE YOU?

Hello! I'm Romantic, but you can call me Ro! (they/he)

I'm a teacher who got really into modding around 2022. I'm also someone with learning disabilities and social anxiety, so I empathized with a lot of people who wanted to start modding but felt discouraged by the inaccessibility of some information and guides, as well as some spaces that were less than friendly towards beginners. While I am no expert in modding myself, I decided I could at least teach the basics to those who have struggled trying to learn so they can make use of other existing material once they have a better grasp of the basics.

ABOUT MODDING 101

Back in 2023 Modding 101 was originally going to be a small server for a dozen of people or so interested in taking live classes with me for a small fee. I already give classes online for a living so the idea seemed like a no-brainer for me. This was before I realized the huge amount of people who are interested in learning and who really needed help with different topics, some of which I didn't know enough about.

Because of this, I opened the Discord to everyone for free and had some other modders join me in giving classes, while some of the people within the community started helping out folks in our forums just out of kindness. We created a really kind and cozy community to help each other learn.

As time went on, it became apparent to me that hosting all of our classes in discord wasn't ideal, so I decided to make a website. I also felt that we could improve our classes significantly, so I did a bunch of surveys to get feedback from our students and remake those classes by myself with the knowledge that I had acquired from those surveys.

While I originally intended to make weekly videos for this site and had subscription tiers in my kofi for this reason, I had to abandon that idea due to burnout and some life stuff going on. The site as it is now also had to be completely rebuilt and moved to a different host so I could still cover the costs without the help of those who had subscribed to my kofi, and I am currently trying to flesh it out a little more so it is useful despite I might not make any new video classes.

If you've found this resource helpful and would like to support me, feel free to buy me a kofi!
