Welcome, Mike. You're also new to D&D? I'd probably go to the Games/Join a Game section and search for a game that welcomes new players. Lots of people are willing to play with newcomers. The most important things, in my opinion, are being fun and willing to show up for each session.
Hello Mike W., To get kicked off right, I'd 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 regularly 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 rolling!
