LFG to help guide a Complete Newbie to Tabletop RPGS

Hello! My name is Steven and I've always wanted to play tabletop games. However, not many of my friends are interested in it and I never had the free time. I recently discovered Roll20 and I'm just wondering if there are people who would willing to add me to a campaign and also coach me along the way. Thank you!
Hey there Steven, I`m currently looking for players for a Monster of the week campaign around 17:00-22:00 UTC-7. It`s a really easy to learn system and very narrative and role play heavy. It`s different from systems like D&D and pathfinder, in the way that it does not care about too many details so it`s very new player friendly. If you`re interested and available, please let me know!
Hello Steven - if you are GMT based and would like to try out D&D 5e please let me know - I am setting up a new game and you (or anyone else interested) are welcome to join. PM me if interested and I will send you the link. Thanks.

Hello Steven. I would recommend you do the following if you have not gotten into a group yet (mostly to pass the time constructively) and even if you gotten into a group, it would be worthwhile to do. I'd first suggest watching our introductory video series, Introduction to Tabletop RPGs , which covers the general idea of how they are played, which game to choose and then find a group of fellow gamers. Secondly, for the Virtual TableTop itself we have a Tutorial that shows you how to use the various parts of the software. Additionally, 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! Thirdly, check out the Looking For Group Tool and Looking for Group Forum daily for games that may be of interest to you. Fourth, 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 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 We have a wiki that grows weekly and is very much worth exploring. Feel free to ask any questions you have about Roll20 by posting in the various sub-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!
