Are you a new player? New GM? Let's learn together!!

Hello. I am new to P&P RPG's and if you are reading this you may be as well. I notice a ton of players all listing LFG or stating that they don't know where to start so I am hoping this thread will accommodate all of our needs. About me. I have played MMORPG's and have read through all the material for D&D and AD&D systems. I am eager to play and am brand new to P&P settings. I am 36 (so raucous humor and the occasional raping and pillaging is fine), presently unemployed and so have a ton of availability. I have been a reader of Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms and a ton of other Fantasy worlds (Midkemia being one of my favorites - thanks Feist!) for most of my life. This group we are forming will be for new players who are interested in playing in the D&D setting. It will be for an ongoing, long-term campaign. We will use the material provided through the Roll20 site and, per the groups desire, can also use Skype, Ventrillo, Mumble or whatever other tools available to communicate. We will learn together although if you have some (or a lot) of experience please feel free and welcome to join in as well. If you know a GM or another player get them involved in this post! I feel confident that we can form one or more groups that can accommodate all of us NOOB's. Suggestions? I am all ears. If you don't respond, how will we know you are interested? Best of luck and have a great day. - G -

What timezone are you in?

i am actually interested, i am entirely new to DnD but very eagar. Please email me about group <a href="mailto:enjoi_eggrolls@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">enjoi_eggrolls@yahoo.com</a>

I am in the Pacific Standard Timezone but am open to play during most times.

yeah i wouldnt mind helping out sometimes. I live in illinois so its 5:15 right now

Thanks Steve. Are you an experienced player/GM? G

Let me ask everyone who is intereted to please provide the days/times that you would be available to play. Then we can setup a "formal" meet and greet via Skype and get character's created and game times scheduled. Thank you all again for your responses. G

I would love to join. I am brand new I'm 13 and already have a character. My time zone is EDT and only available on Saturdays around 1- 1:30 P.M. I would love to join and learn along with you.

Hey I would love to join I am free all weekends. Friday's after 4:15. I also live in the eastern time zone.

ive been playin for about a year and a half almost 2 years, we are currently on break cause the DM's been pretty busy lately but i have as many characters as the Wizards character builder can hold lol and yes i am experienced with certain races and class types mostly paladin, cleric and fighter

you forget about teamspeak also but then again thats not "free" lol

Hey, I'm a GM too. I have an RPG based off of the Wheel of Time. It's my first one, we could all try it, you could provide suggestions and critique and we'll have a helluva time learning and adventuring together. I was a DM for a lot of D&D games a few years ago but I haven't played in a while. What do you think? Let me know! I'd also be happy to help any of your games or whatever else you need.

Google Hangouts is free and easy to use!

Hey all- I have an errand to run and I will respond afterwards to anyone I haven't gotten to yet. I am going to suggest that we set a time for tomorrow or Friday as a meet and greet. We can use Google Hangouts and share our thoughts, guide new players through Character creation and set a calendar for future games. Tentatively I would like to do this at 6pm eastern standard time either tomorrow (Halloween) or Friday. Please let me know what works best for you all. We can even do it tonight so long as I have at least an hour to take care of my husbandly chores. Be back shortly. -G-

i just love 4th edition its sooooooooooooo fun lol

i use the character creator, that would be the best way to create it ur character. The only problem is that its not free. Wizards of the coast has a 10 dollar monthly subscription fee but a 23 dollar something cent 3 month subscription. Which 10 bucks still isnt that bad but just a heads up cause character creation without it is a pretty big pain but u know w/e works for people

George I'm fine with tonight. I don't have to do anything tomorrow so take as long as you need. If you need to contact me personal do it on here or on my Email on Google I'll send you it Via private message.

BTW this is also a good Character builder not as good as Wizards but is works. <a href="http://www.tinwatchman.com/chargen/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tinwatchman.com/chargen/</a>

Im kind of new too, you guys wanna talk my skype handle is goatman92-rp, and my email is <a href="mailto:blackgoatox@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">blackgoatox@gmail.com</a>

so you guys do it all manually lol. I have character builder so i dont need any of the manual free stuff. I cant do it manually sadly. I like having that game subscription anyway

Friday works better for me.

I would like to join your group I play D&D essential before and I am still new at it.what time are you thinking about playing and what day

Since I am outta school now and staying put I wanted to get back into d&d. It's been a long time since I played but I have always loved the lore behind it. What kind of races and classes would you allow in your campaigns? Just core or homebrew as well? I am in EST and available everyday between any hours.

Okay everyone I am back and available. Here is what I would like to do. I will schedule a "hangout" on Google+. In order to do so I will need your email addresses (preferably gmail). Please pm me with your information and I will schedule this meeting for Friday at 6PM eastern standard time (3pm PST). If I do not get your email I will not be able to invite ya. See you on Friday! G

I know it's kind of late but I would like to join in if possible my email is <a href="mailto:demonicyes@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">demonicyes@gmail.com</a>

As a matter of facilitation I will leave this thread active throughout the weekend. If I can help get 2 or more games going i will do that. Perhaps we could have the groups swap players for fun from time to time. So I will have one meet and greet Friday at 3pm PST (6pm EST) and another scheduled for Sunday at 4pm PST (7pm EST). That means: If you are interested in playing or gm'ing a group of noobs (or with little experience) OR you are an experienced player that would like to take part and pass the torch as it were, then please don't hesitate to pm me with your email! I give you all my word that I am very dedicated to this project and am by nature a person who finishes what he starts. Please feel free to ask any question you have either through this thread or by PM. Not too late at all D. I will add you. Cheers! -G-

I know this is sort of out of the blue but our plans changed and I am home tonight. Anyone feeling like getting an adventure going today? So. if I can convince one of the GM's, I would need at least 2 other players good to go tonight. We could use a 3.5 online generator for characters if you do not have a level 1 good to go. Who is interested? G
