New player looking to join a DND game

Hello, I am a brand new player to DnD (I have played before at a convention years ago and just dabbled a bit in text based recently) and I am looking for a game to join. I am open to almost anything, but I would like a balanced blend of adventure and rp elements. I am an adult, so 18+ isn’t something I steer clear from, but there are certain elements that I am very against (no overt sexual,content, be it consensual in nature or other). I have nothing against romance, but I prefer no explicit topics/subjects. I enjoy horror, so elements of that nature are alright, but no torture “porn”. I am looking for a fun adventure and story, not pointless gratuity. I hope to play with you soon!

Hello.  I am running a new group in the nyc area of ad&d homebrew on the weekends.  if you are the area and intersted, let me know.  thank you

Hi Sasha, thank you for contacting me! I live in rural Canada, so can only do online games right now (and this sounds in person game).  Wish I could join!

Hi, this is Beeker again. I need to state that I can only play online games, due to my location. Sorry for not stating this earlier!

not a problem, beeker.  good luck in your search

I am looking for one more player to play a one shot on Thursday 7PM EST. If this works with you, feel free to contact me

I believe that would be 4pm pst time, so that would be doable! I am travelling earlier in the day, but should be home before the start time. What type of game is it, and how would I prepare?
