Brand Spanking New Player

Hey guys, I've always wanted to get into D&D but never had the opportunity to do it with real people. I heard about roll20 and have made an account in search of people to play with. My experience is minimal/non-existent. I've played D&D based games such as baldur's gate and icewind dale. I have been listening to 'Adventure: a dungeons and dragons podcast' which has ignited my desire to play more than ever. I've never played a game of D&D or any of the variants. I would consider myself a quick learner.  I am interested in all aspects of D&D - combat, roleplay and puzzle solving. I have a clear idea for a neutral chaotic character I would like to explore.

Hello, I saw you posted in the previous thread. I'll first just copy pasta what I said about my game here: I would be interested in having you for my Pathfinder 2e play test. Since Pathfinder 2e is a new game system, we will all be learning together which may help you more easily fit in with the group. It might be a good format for a newer player since it's an atypical format. The adventure "Doomsday Dawn" is a set of connected adventures set years apart. At the start of each adventure the players create new characters at a higher level. The idea is to quickly allow players to test all aspects of the Pathfinder 2e system in the span of a typical adventure. This gives all the players (and myself as the GM) the opportunity to try out new things with each chapter and not necessarily being locked into playing a character you have grown to dislike. If this sounds like a game you'd be interested in, and you're available for play Sundays at 6:30 PM CDT, then let me know and hopefully we can play together soon! You asked in the previous thread if Pathfinder was similar to D&D. Depending on the version you are talking about they are somewhat similar. They are both d20 based systems, both have classes, skills, feats, spells and the like. Many of the core rules are very similar or even identical. But from version to version the way the games play varies significantly. I have not yet played D&D 5e so I cannot comment on it myself. I am a former D&D 3.5 player and a Pathfinder player. Both of those rule sets are very similar though there are differences in classes, feats, and certain game feature (e.g. Archetypes in Pathfinder). But by and large if you know Pathfinder you can easily pick up D&D 3.5 and vice-versa. Now the game I am GMing now is a Pathfinder 2e game. It's a brand new system and has changed A LOT from the original Pathfinder. From what I have read from the rules most of these changes seem positive to me. And it should be a much easier game system for the players to learn, without really sacrificing on the ability to develop a unique an interesting character. So if you're still interested after all of that please let me know. Im trying to fill out players for this play test and begin playing starting September 2nd. Let me know if you're interested!

Yeah I saw your response in the other one AFTER I posted but I'm definitely keen. Just let me know what I'd need in preparation. 6:30 CDT on Sundays works for me depending on how long the sessions would run?

My game sessions are typically 3 hours with one hour reserve. By that I mean we will play three hours, and if we don't get to a good stopping point then we go until we do (up to one extra hour). So we will end somewhere between 9:30 CDT and 10:30 CDT every Sunday. As far as preparation goes, just get a character made. I can give you the rulebook and guidelines for this adventure shortly. Also, get Discord if you dont have it already. We will be using that to communicate during the game session. Let me know if this sounds all good to you and I can get you setup with an invite to the game!
Yeah I've got discord I just don't use it very often. Sounds good to me - discord via dm I assume
Yea a DM is fine, no need to make that public :P
