New Player Having Extreme Difficulty Finding A Game

Hello, my name is Mike. I am 33 years old. I have always wanted to try this but never had anyone I could physically play with. I had given the dream of getting into something like this up until I happened to do a google search and found this site. I have been trying to find a game to join, but to no avail. If anyone has any suggestions or a game they would like to bring me into it, it would be greatly appreciated. I am open to paying to play in the future but would love to try it out first. Thank you in advance for any suggestions and hopefully an invite. I have both video and voice, if needed.

Hi Mike, Here are some tips that may help you get invited to a game: Fill out your Roll20 profile so people have some idea who you are and what kinds of games you like to play. When you apply for a game, be sure to follow closely whatever the GM asks of applicants. In your application, give the GM some idea of what kind of player you are and the kinds of games you most enjoy.  I think Roll20 is kind of a matching game between GM, players, and your fellow players. You may want to try applying to some of the games that are less popular and therefore have a greater need for players, Look for games using the game finding tool and the Looking for Group forum. Check for games that interest you daily, and if you see one that has been recently posted and doesn't have a lot of applicants yet, apply to that game right away! Ideally for whatever game you are applying for, you should know at least some of the game rules and have some idea how to make a character. If you already don't know some of the etiquette of being a good player, these videos may help . Hope this helps.  Hang in there and good luck. Jerry
