About TheMagician

I'm fairly new to modding, but I'm a long-time fan of FRPGs. I didn't really get into PC gaming until about a year ago, surprisingly enough, although I did spend some time teaching myself a bit of programming and web design before that, so I sort of get how all this computery stuff works.

My Mods

None. Yet.

My Projects

I'm currently working on a total conversion based on a fantasy world that I started creating about twenty years ago. This world was supposed to be the backdrop for a long series of fantasy novels I thought for sure I was going to write when I was younger, but I just couldn't force myself to sit down and write for several hours a day. Fortunately, I find modding a lot more entertaining. (It's all about the instant gratification.) TC ETA: not any time soon.

In the meantime, I'm teaching myself how to do pretty much everything, so that I know how it all works. I may release a couple of small mods along the way, just to get my feet wet, but, so far, I haven't actually released anything.

I hope to have a website up soon. I'll post the link here when I do.

My Gripes

I've been particularly frustrated by Oblivion's nit-picky sensitivity to capitalization in their file paths (which is a real barrier to new modders trying to create original textures for things like class and birthsign icons, world maps, etc.), but I think I've got that figured out now so hopefully I can start making some real progress on my mods.
