The basic rules for 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder can be found here. 5th Edition is the newest system on the block right now, so you might start by understanding that first (but I'm sure plenty of people have all sorts of opinions about this since its the internet after all). <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/</a> Other systems will have to be found online or bought at a gaming store (there are is a Game Master Manual and a Players Manual required at minimum to play a game).
Welcome to Roll20! 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!
