Hi all, my first post, please forgive any missteps. I'm Mark, 29, Scottish, Teacher. After a long time being fascinated by the world of D&D, watching various online versions of the game, I'm looking to take my first steps into this wonderful world. I have the core book on order, arriving in the next few days, but using online materials have some ideas for my first character. Are there any groups out there willing to take on a totally new player to the game? I'm normally a quick study at things and very interested in the role play element of the game. Having long been a part of podcasts that delved into the odd audio drama, it is something I am keen to continue exploring. Many thanks for reading this and I look forward to reading any responses!
