Completely new to RPGs

Me and a couple friends have never played an RPG and really want to get into it. We don't really know where to start and were hoping to find someone that could help us get started or teach us to go about this, We really like the Call of Cthulhu and are also interested in some DnD or Pathfinder. Any help is appreciated.

I can probably point you guys in the right direction for pathfinder, and also probably run a beginner game for you. If your interested send me a private message. I may be out of town for the next few days so ill try and respond asap.
Hiya, i'm pretty new to RPG's as well. I've played two games of Pathfinder with a couple of guys that weren't really familiar with the rules of the game. I'm wondering if I could get into this with you guys as well. I'm open to learning anything at this point, but i'm most familiar with Pathfinder. I have the Core Rulebook in pdf. Please let me know if I'd be able to join in on this. Thanks, have a good day.
if you guys are interested in a 3.5 weekly game and can make it every sunday at 7 am mountain standard time id be ok with teaching you as we go just please download the books and read the basics before 1 week from now. let me know of you are interested

Hey everyone, I'm also fairly new to the world of tabletop RPGing and was hoping I could hop in here as well, if there's room of course. So far I've played one game of Pathfinder with some other newbie friends of mine and really liked it. If you guys go in for a Pathfinder game, I'd definitely be interested!
If anyone needs the core rule book please let me know, I'd be happy to share mine.
Hey, I just stumbled on this. I am new to the whole rpg-thing, only a couple of games played. If you all are setting up a group, would you mind cutting me in?
I hope this is still happening, haven't seen much more activity on here.
I've been looking to get a game of D&D 4E going for a while, since I've kind of run Pathfinder to death, and I don't mind doing a beginner-type campaign, provided it's on a day that isn't Friday or Saturday. I'd be by voice, no text, and the only real caveat is people who ask to play should be prepared to show up and participate, I'm not a fan of flakes. Grab some people together and decide on a time and I'd be happy to DM.
I mostly do new world of darkness. if you have at least 4 peeps i wouldn't mind giving you a test run. if you like it i may even be able to point some of you into the right direction when it comes to finding a group to play in.
the problem i have with pathfinder is that everyone wants to play it (me included), but there never seems to be someone around willing to gm (me included).
I had a couple people showing interest in helping me out but I'm trying to confirm to see if they are willing to just have some of you join as well.

Hello everyone. If you are willing to learn and play older style of gaming, there are a few groups around. BFRPG Group (friday night pickups) : This group is set up for the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game (BFRPG) community to play pick-up games and one-shots, discuss the game, recruit players for games, playtest supplements and adventures, or anything else related to BFRPG. What this group is for: Drop-in games, planned one-shots, playtesting official BFRPG material, trying out homebrew material, chatting with fellow BFRPG fans, or other activities involving short-term games. What this group isn't for: Playing games other than BFRPG (there are other groups devoted to general OSR gaming and to avoid redundant groups, we'd like to keep this one BFRPG only). Inn of the Welcome Wench ROll 20 AD&D 2 E Hang out & meet up group A place for 1 & 2 edition players to gather : Just trying to make a place where D&D, and AD&D 1 & 2e players can gather and look for players and DM's. If your a latter edition fan feel free to join the Old school players are always looking for converts. Old school D&D clones and Generics like OSRIC that do not violate copy-write laws are also welcome. Try and keep your recruitment post to "Looking for Players" thread. That way the players can browse games all in one place. However I am not going give you a time out if you make your own thread. Good luck and hope you have fun.
^^This actually looks interesting,might look into it.

Hey guys, I am currently running a quick 1-3 hour pathfinder campaign to test out Roll20. Anyone is welcome to join especially new players! I encourage all players to join for a quick run of fun and for me to help test out if I want to make a major campaign using this software. I am a GM and am looking for players so please feel free to jump in and stop by! <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/475098/NUMqoA" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/475098/NUMqoA</a>
