New player looking for advice.

Hello Roll20 community! I'm a brand new member here and I'm new to the world of tabletop gaming but it's always been something I've wanted to try as nobody plays tabletop locally(D&D in particular). So in saying that I was hoping some of the nice people here could help me out and tell me what I would need and how I would go about getting started with online D&D. I own nothing, money is tight and I know nobody that plays, I also have absolutely zero experience and I have no idea about which edition of D&D I should use other than what I've seen on other website forums which recommended 3.5 and the 5th editions. Any help, advice, tips, etc. would be tremendously appreciated! -Steve

For playing on Roll20, you would likely want to post in the Looking for Group (LFG) forum , or use the&nbsp; Looking for Group tool (Join a Game in the menu) to find some games to join. &nbsp;Games will have a setting for "Welcome new players". &nbsp;Any of those would be helpful in getting you started. Personally, I'd suggest starting with 5th edtion D&D. &nbsp;You can read the free basic rules: <a href="http://media.wizards.com/2014/downloads/dnd/player" rel="nofollow">http://media.wizards.com/2014/downloads/dnd/player</a>... You might also find some actual play videos on youtube to watch and get a feel for the way games flow. &nbsp;Additionally, look for some that are on Roll20 and get a feeling for how it works. &nbsp;If you haven't already, create a game of your own and go through the tutorial. &nbsp;There are a bunch of links on the wiki right at the top to help new players:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Main_Page</a> And of course, feel free to ask any questions you have about Roll20. &nbsp;Note that the forums are for Roll20 related topics, so if you want to know "how do I make the best 3rd level barbarian wizard combo in 5th edition D&D", you'd want to ask that elsewhere (like reddit.com/r/dnd). Cheers!
