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 now I’m remaking those classes by myself with the knowledge that I’ve acquired from those surveys.

The site was set up by me with some participation from Prefects and folks subscribed to my kofi (like the characters and gposes used in the site).

In order to keep a consistent format and good organization, I am the only one making the classes posted here at the moment, but this is obviously a lot of work. Besides my work as a teacher, I am trying to finish University, so all support I receive on Ko-fi goes on to pay for the site and give me the chance to work less hours so I can spend that time working on the site and the classes I post here.

If it is in your hands to support me, be it through a donation or a subscription to my ko-fi I’ll appreciate it! Subscribers get some additional perks that you can check on my ko-fi.
