[LFG] Brand new player looking for a group or guidance

Hi all, I've been interested in DnD in the past, and a friend recently encouraged me to try out Roll20. I used to play a little bit with friends in real life, but have never been able to dabble in anything online. I am a brand new player, and am looking for a little guidance/a group to help show me the ropes and maybe hold my hand a bit through the learning process (hopefully with a traditional fantasy story/campaign, perhaps in a Wizards of the Coast setting). I've been attempting to read-through/learn on my own with a few videos but there's so much to learn with this that it is a bit overwhelming. For a bit of extra information on me, I live on the west coast in Canada (PST) and am 24 years old. I used to write stories quite often, however as of late I've been pretty busy so have not been able to write as much as I would like.  Thanks in advance for any info or help any of you are able to provide me :)

If you are into text games, take a look at my community "Knights of the Written Word 2". There are games recruiting in the community's forums, we chat (through text) on a discord server, and general have a positive community. A link to the community's LFG is in my profile.

I have a homebrew "low fantasy" low/rare magic "gritty realism" D&D 5e game that is beginner-friendly (The other player I have so far has played older versions, but not 5th edition) The story (Which I would like to run with a lot of narrative from players and myself as DM) revolves around a failing Magocracy that is politically unstable, beset by Warlocks, witches, and demonic influences via pacts. Scenarios will involve player background, motivations, personality, ideals, bonds, and flaws, as they impact the stories at hand. This game will start mid-September that will have 2 or 2.5-hour sessions starting around 7 -7:30 PM PDT (GMT-7), with a hard stop at (9:30 PDT). Nights played, we are trying to work out, but looks like Sunday, Monday or Tuesday for now. I am still setting up the game, and roll20 server.   

Thanks Shroud, I sent you a PM, I appreciate you reaching out to me about this! Your homebrew idea sounds very interesting.

I’m looking at starting a low level game in October. I’ll reach out when it gets closer to see if you’re still looking.
