Hi, I just stumbled across this place and thought I'd give it a try. I suppose I'm technically a newb; I've only played two hours, at one of those weekly "Encounters" things, in the noisy backroom of a game store run by a guy who didn't seem to care about answering questions. I've got the first Player's Handbook, but I learned most of what I know from those Penny Arcade game podcasts. Also, I've never created a character before--I'm experimenting with the online Character Builder right now, in fact. So I was wondering if there were any groups of similarly inexperienced newbs out there looking to learn the game. I'm free over the weekends, and my time zone is PST (UTC-8, I think). Thanks in advance.
