New Player Weekends CST Any Game

I am a completely new player and would love to be introduced to any game! I have no experience with any of the games on this site (though I have looked up some stuff about d&d). I'm looking to learn and that's basically it. I understand that this can be frustrating to some groups to have someone this inexperienced on their team, but if you would help me I would be forever grateful. Like I said I'm a new player (14 y/o named Beck) who would like to play any game on weekends (may change).

Hey Beck! I'm glad I saw this! I plan on running a series of one-shots for Call of Cthulhu and possibly work up to a campaign if enough players enjoy it. I noticed that there are relatively few GMs for it on this site so I thought I'd help out with that. In my opinion, it is one of the easiest systems to learn and that's what makes it so great. The easier the system, the easier it is to get into your character or the actual investigation at hand. Call of Cthulhu is a horror roleplaying game and many people enjoy the creepy and ominous feel to it.The games are typically set in the 1920s and I believe it sparks creativity because it makes you think about how to get something done without all the advantages we have now. I'm trying to gather a group of people who are relatively new or that have never played before so everyone will be at about the same experience level. I will be running a game that it made for beginning players. Unlike other RPGs, this system does not have a class system, but instead, your character must have an occupation. I have several pre-generated characters and can walk you through making your own if you'd like. In the forum for my game I typed way more than people might want to read. Because of this, I can explain the important things before the game, and some of the actual mechanics and skills while playing. A quote from the back of the book: "CALL OF CTHULHU is a roleplaying game based on the worlds of H. P. Lovecraft, in which ordinary people are confronted by the terrifying forces of the Cthulhu Mythos." Will you answer the Call of Cthulhu? Your investigation awaits.

Beck, welcome to the site and the hobby. There are many GMs here that welcome new players. You can search for games that welcome new players by using the search engine (looking for group in the blue banner above) and checkmarking the "welcomes new players".. I games that I run I always welcome new players (in my latest game I have 4 out of 5 players that are new) Good luck and hope you enjoy the hobby.
Oh yeah! What kind of time zone are we looking at?

Well the title says CST so I would assume it is central standard timezone but I could be wrong.
OOP! That's what happens when you've got 5 tabs open and start reading too quickly!
Hey Hayden! Thank you so much for replying! I would love to play Call of Cthulu (I actually love H.P. Lovecraft's works) with you! Should I just PM you?
Sure! We can discuss all the details there.

Hi beck, I'm tossing together a quick introduction session to rpging tonight. It starts at 8pm. It is generic fantasy based and character creation takes about 15 minutes or so.
8 pm in what time zone?
I have a 208 Member group of AD&D players and DM’s mostly Original D&D, 1e AD&D and 2e AD&D. everyone is welcome. Although not a campaign per say this is a place for players and DM’s gather talk and start some groups long term campaigns, one-shots, play test we have had them all start here. The overall goal is an easy way to gather for Campaigns or for players to find DM's. Feel free to join us and to invite others <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/372978/zpc7pg" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/372978/zpc7pg</a> thanks for your time p.s.
