New to roll20 and haven't played a while.

So I just recently learned about this site through some streams on twitch, I intend to look for a group in dnd setting, problem is I haven't played since like 2nd edition really. I did very little of 3.0 but never really was able to find a group to actually play with. Mainly im looking for info on what I should get before I attempt to join someone's LFG so I am atleast prepared enough material wise to get back into the game. Im assuming of course players handbooks, anything else I really need to get? Thanks all for any information, always appreciate a good community.

Moved to Off-topic (your questions are more about game systems rather than Roll20 itself).&nbsp; Your first step should probably be deciding which game system you wish to get into.&nbsp; The popular games on Roll20 are D&amp;D 3.5, D&amp;D 4, and Pathfinder (a variation on D&amp;D 3.5) but there are many more game systems that people use on Roll20.&nbsp; Once you decide which game system you want to get into then the matter is getting the books.&nbsp; You can find most of the rules for 3.5 on various SRDs, here is one:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.d20srd.org/</a> You can also find the free rules for Pathfinder here:&nbsp; <a href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/</a> &nbsp;and here:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.d20pfsrd.com/</a> You can find D&amp;D 4th edition quick start rules here:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Feature.aspx?x=new/learntoplay" rel="nofollow">http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Feature.aspx?x=new/learntoplay</a> &nbsp;but just a warning, WotC is currently working on a 5th edition called D&amp;D Next.&nbsp; If you decide to purchase books for 3.5 you can hit up the used books in your local gameshop. For Pathfinder and D&amp;D 4e the books (and PDFs for Pathfinder) are in production.&nbsp; - Gauss
