Ahoy, Anthony P., First, welcome to Roll20! We hope you enjoy your stay here. We have two video series that are at your disposal for help getting started. 1)
If you're absolutely brand new to RPGs and want to know the general
idea of how they are played, which game to choose and then find a group
of fellow gamers: Check out our Introduction to Tabletop RPGs series . 2) If you've played tabletop RPGs before and just want to get a understanding of how Roll20 can be used: Check out our Roll20 Crash Course .
This is a step-by-step overview for creating your very first Roll20
campaign. This tutorial uses the Pathfinder RPG to frame itself, but
it's not a system specific tutorial and you should be able to follow
along without knowing one single thing about Pathfinder. Think of Roll20 as your kitchen table, anything you can do at your table, you can do here one way or another: Draw, lay down maps, chat with the other players. Be as fancy or as plain as you like. Don't be afraid to start a test campaign of your own and fool around with the controls -- you really can't break anything, promise! Secondly, no we have no chat room here, but we do have extensive forums for discussing matters relating to Roll20. We have a wiki page covering how the forums work that you can review. Please pay special attention to the Code of Conduct for the site. If you're new to gaming in general and have questions relating to topics other than Roll20 itself, we ask that you post those questions on forums dedicated to them: reddit/r/rpg , rpg.stackexchange.com , or a system publisher's specific forums for a system. Good luck and happy gaming!
