New to 5e looking for a group and some help

So I recently got motivated to actually do something D&D after a year or two of watching streams Thing is I have never done a table top game before and need some help,though I'm not completely useless,I've read through both core and player handbook (still somewhat confused)

If you have never played a pen and paper (table top) don't start with D&D. If you want to start p&p games I implore you to think about joining another game. I'll even GM a different system for you. Would you try the games werewolf the apocalypse or how about Warhammer Fantasy. Both grand games that I think most new people can understand easily.

My reccomendation is join a game that's newbie friendly. 4e and 5e are pretty easy to get into; the people on here are generally good with helping out new players. Though my experience playing: I had to DM without any trpg experience. If you're still feeling intimidated; watch some videos on youtube or some more streams after going over the rules and scrutinizing at the stuff that confuses you. For me, reading it and seeing it in action helped some of the stuff click.

Thank you guys for replying and helping me ^_^ Chris,I have no idea what Werewolf the Apocalypse is,but I'd be willing to try it.Though,I don't exactly have the money to buy handbooks,so I hope that won't be an inconvenience.And I know very little about Warhammer,unless Dark Heresy counts.But I'd be willing to try

I got a friend who can get you the books for Werewolf and Warhammer. Werewolf is a game that takes place in the World of Darkness. Pretty much you play a magic werewolf Eco-terrorist who fight captain planet villains and its much darker then you would think. Warhammer fantasy is about playing either a dwarf, elf, half-ling, human, skaven, chaos worshiper, or beastman and doing whatever.

What do you mean by getting me the books?Like buying them for me,if so,thats fine,wouldn't want to trouble you.I'm actually reading a pdf file for Werewolf,and its pretty interesting.

Well if you want to play in the game send me a PM. I already got other people who would want to play.
