To get kicked off right, I'd suggest watching one or both of the introductory video series: 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
game . 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. Starting your
own test game to play with the controls is an excellent way of getting
used to the software, and you really can't break anything I promise! Secondly, check out the Looking For Group Tool and Looking for Group Forum daily for games that may be of interest to you. Thirdly, be sure to completely fill out your User Profile . Your Bio is where you have a chance to catch a GM's eye with a well-written statement about yourself Enjoys Playing is important for two reasons: Every entry you put here is a data-point for the The Orr Group Industry Report of games being played, and it lets other people looking at your profile know a bit more about you Actively Seeks Group For is where you can add yourself to the Player Directory for systems you want to play Feel free to ask any questions you have about Roll20 and post in the various forums on their particular topics (Don't stress about putting topics in the right sub-forums, we mods really don't mind moving topics when needed!) Happy gaming!
