I am new to roll20 have created a bio, why is it so hard to join games, gavin p. said: Hi all, I've been posting for a while now on Roll20, ORC, Google+, etc., etc., and etc., and can't seem to find a group. I'm in my 40s and mostly interested in playing Call of Cthulhu. From what I read I seem to fit the demographic: family, weekends only, regular, planned games, and so on. BUT I can't get a a game. I have been posting 'used to DM but now want to play'. Do people not want players who used to DM? Hints, please - I'd really appreciate it. Am I breaching some kind of online etiquette? Bring back White Dwarf classified ads!!! James B. said: Hello I am looking for DnD style game to join or any game to join honestly could someone send me a message or invite ?

I've played DnD 5e IRL and have been playing for 2/4 of the sessions they had (I joined in late) and have been having a lot of fun roleplaying with my friends and the DM. Which comes to me actually wanting to set up a DnD game, and becoming a DM myself. I'm work as a writer and is really interested in a good roleplay, and I think I could use my skills in work for being a DM! The thing is, in our IRL DnD the DM basically spoon-fed us a lot of stuff (Because it was everyone's first DnD game in their whole lives) and I don't really know how to set up a game from scratch. I've heard that reading the DM's guide will help but I've also heard that the DM's guide book only helps if you've already set up a game. Anyway, I hope to make good use of Roll20 and have lots of fun :D Also sorry if my English is a tad bit bad, not my first language. Welcome! Check out this information from the first page of this thread: 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 weekly 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 gaming!
