Silver A., To get kicked off right, I'd suggest watching one or both of the introductory video series: 1)
If you're absolutely brand new to RPGs and want to know the general
idea of how they are played, which game to choose and then find a group
of fellow gamers: Check out our Introduction to Tabletop RPGs series . 2) If you've played tabletop RPGs before and just want to get a understanding of how Roll20 can be used: Check out our Roll20 Crash Course .
This is a step-by-step overview for creating your very first Roll20
campaign. This tutorial uses the Pathfinder RPG to frame itself, but
it's not a system specific tutorial and you should be able to follow
along without knowing one single thing about Pathfinder. Taking the time to play with a test campaign is a great way to start understanding how to play games here. You can't break anything, honest! :) As far as introductory RPGs -- The Looking For Group tool ( <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search</a> ) has an option to only show games welcoming new players, and the Looking for Group forum ( <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search</a>
) often has GMs posting games specifically intended for newbies. Be certain to completely fill out your User Profile
with the kinds of games you're looking for (stereotypical fantasy,
modern fantasy, space opera, SciFi, whathave you) and your available
times & timezone; also a well written Bio can help you stand out from the crowd. Happy gaming!
