New and would like some help figuring out how to make my character sheet in D&D?

Hey, I'm new here and just played my first D&D game at a Con, so I don't have much experience but would love to get involved in more games. I know the character I want, a half-elf chaotic good rogue, which fits about the build I always go for in games. How would I set her up? Also, where would I go to do that on here? I tried to find it but all I ran across was something telling me to bring over a character or something about like that.

Here on roll20, you generally have a DM set up a game in order to make a character. If you just want to use Roll20 to use as a reference for your character, you can do this yourself.&nbsp; Start by going to your games page: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/search/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/search/</a> and clicking on New Game. Then you make a name and choose a character sheet that matches your game system (e.g. "5th Edition ( OGL by Roll20 )"). From there, you click on 3rd tab up in the top right—"Journal"—and click Add&gt;&gt;Character.&nbsp; If you just want your character written down somewhere, you can also just google "character sheet for X", where X is the version of D&D you play. I highly recommend checking out the documentation for the site:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Main_Page</a>
Okay. Thank you. Is there anything else I may need to know about this? Again. I haven't done it before. So I'm trying to learn but there seems to be A LOT of info.&nbsp;

No problem, happy rolling!
If you want specific help on what aspects to do first so you don't get confused, there are a lot of youtube tutorials based on that kind of stuff. Whether on roll20 specifically, or just in general. Though I would recommend rolling all your stats first, as they impact a lot of other aspects on your character sheet.
What are the best channels for that? I just got a player handbook along with some other manuals, but it would be cool to see them talked out and explained on vid.
