[LF?][5e][GMTish] Noob looking for other noobs or noob friendly to learn

I posted a while back LFG and had some nice conversations but nothing I really wanted to join. Part of the problem is not even knowing where to start and people who just want to get to it, which is totally understandable. For example a lot of people running games seem to need you to have your character prepared. Is this because it takes a long time and you get invested in them? What I've been doing is reading and reading the rules and supplementary books for D&D 5th Edition, as well as listening to podcast and information on how it works. There is a bit of a learning curve, especially with the typical ecology and lore. I have an idea: how about a few smart noobs like myself get together and try to figure it out, maybe run our own game? It would be cool if an experienced player wants to get involved too and help us out but I don't want to have require that. I've been thinking of playing solo which seems like plunging into madness so someone throw me a rope!

Hey there, I'm a fellow noob. I've been listening to a few actual play podcasts for a while now and I literally just joined here to see if I might get involved. Next month i'll be joining an IRL game with some friends from work but I'd like to play online too. I like your idea of trying to figure it out by jumping in without having to worry about being a burden on other more experienced players.

I'd like to join as well

If you're still looking, I would be thrilled to join.

Gavin B. said: If you're still looking, I would be thrilled to join. Woah Gavin it looks like you know what you're doing! 

An old noob here, played a little bit long ago, back when a Tandy RadioShack TRS80 was a hot item. I have a couple of characters created but would like to get started creating a new one or two as well. If you are into slow-play (meaning I do not always have a scheduled time to play...) I'm your guy.

Hellos. I am experienced and not a newbie(least in certain systems) and I sometimes do happen to have some free time. So I would like help you a bit with the sheets and some rulings if you want. I am not exactly the rules master but I know decently the basics and a little more.  I do want to note that most games/campaigns on Roll20 require you to have means of communication-usually Discord and be able to talk/have microphone. Decent connection and to be punctual. There is also some campaigns with text if voice is not your thing. 

I'd love to join as well. I'd be willing to DM or be a player.

I wouldn't mind DMing a 5E game, and I enjoy taking my time to help newer players and watch them grow like tiny carrots, sadly my limit is probably 5 players and I believe there's a few more wishing to join here. However I would love to help out if you have questions about 5E, be it rules or character creation, so if you have any feel free to send me a message!

@Jesper While I do look for a game, you can count me out. I mostly offered to help them. Let the newer players get to play and stuffs. Good luck, have fun. :)

While I am not new to TTRPG, I am new to 5E and would be willing to try it out depending on the day and time of game. I have a pretty extensive background in role play and can play pretty much any type of role the party needs.  If you’re interested in having an experienced player, I’d be willing to try and lend a hand.

I would be keen to join as well. Feel free to let me know if this would go ahead.

I'm 25 and have played RPG's for most of my life but never anything pen and paper. I have always gravitated towards heavy hitting classes weather that be 2 handed weapons or the squishy casters that shoot out nukes. I made a Warlock named Gabrina Usrella to play with this time, so I can learn some of the mechanics of the game before I try making a class of my own from scratch but my goal is to not have to play another cookie cutter class after this experience. Hoping I get to join you, thanks!

I am looking for to get a group going, not to run a game but to play in it, and I am willing to help guide people into things, but I am looking for one of two specific game systems to play.  I seen D&D was mentioned, does that mean people are only interested in that or are any of you interested in other systems? I'm not looking for a D&D game myself.  I just posted a topic on what I'm looking for, so if anyone is interested in those just let me know, again only looking to play them, not run, not teach, but willing to help everyone that has at least the core book to understand the system. 

i am looking to get together a group of 4 to 6 players for a dnd 5e monday and thursday night start time 7 or 8 on est every week game (each day is its own game you can do one the other or both) set in a normal world there arent any gimicks other than 1st lvl start and it will be going untill you reach max lvl  or die if your interested or want more info message me 

I literally just stumbled upon the reddit DND sub like 45 mins ago and was immediately excited to learn to play, and I looked up how to play online since I don’t know anyone who plays locally. I would absolutely love to join a group.

I'm also a newbie who really wants to learn how to play. I've been reading the Player Handbook for D&D. It's something I've wanted to learn for a long time but I haven't had the chance to yet. I'm looking for something at 8pm est or later, weeknights only.

Hi there!&nbsp; In response to starting a character:&nbsp; You can use the pre-made character sheets in the Starter Set and alter things to fit your character idea. It makes it easier first time.&nbsp; Anyway, If you are still looking, we would love to join.&nbsp; We are Monty and Mel,&nbsp;two noobs looking to learn how to not noob in D&amp;D. Dorky, awkward and apparently very bad at selling themselves. (+5 Charisma *sparkle sparkle*) If you'd like to know more about us, here is our post :D <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6850819/lfg-5e-d-and-d-a-couple-of-noobs-seeking-fellow-noobs-to-noob-with" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6850819/lfg-5e-d-and-d-a-couple-of-noobs-seeking-fellow-noobs-to-noob-with</a>

Hi everyone, wow this is a great response! I replied earlier but didn't realise you're not allowed to post Discord invite links here and the message was deleted. How should I share the Discord information legally I wonder, does anyone know?

I sent most people a DM with the Discord link since I got a message for a mod saying that's the way to do it legally. I didn't message the people soliciting for games (@hiismyname h.) or @Anubus, the point here is that no one at my noob level has an understanding of the system so maybe the level is way too low. I'm talking complete beginner. Thanks to @Reno-X and @Jesper for offering an experienced hand, if you want to come to the Discord let me know, didn't want to spam you, but I will put you in my rolodex and we might ask you things if we get stuck!

I'll stay out of the Discord for now, I'm in way too many channels for my own good, but you're of course more than welcome to write a message at any point if you have questions or need advice. If you end up with 4-5 people and are still in need of a DM aswell don't hesitate to ask either, otherwise good luck with your game and I hope you have plenty of great adventures!

I was not soliciting for a game at all there is not one in progress or even setup, sorry that you misunderstood my meaning. I was looking to get a group going as per the intent of the topic, that will have or get books.&nbsp; Perhaps the part about me not teaching is where your misunderstanding lays.&nbsp; Nor do I intend to steal any show. I'll clarify my meaning.&nbsp; I am looking to help get a group going, noobs or not, but not for D&amp;D which was a question I posed in my prior post, which wasn't answered.&nbsp; I am looking to see if anyone wanted to learn a non D&amp;D game (either L5R or CtD is where my interests lay)&nbsp; by reading the core book.&nbsp; And I had mentioned "but willing to help everyone that has at least the core book to understand the system"&nbsp; which meant after people read said book(s)&nbsp; to help explain how things work aka clarify rules, and also willing to help with character creation where needed, and help the person that would run the game where needed.&nbsp; I do not want to run the game, only play in it.&nbsp; Interested persons should PM me, with mention of the topic at hand, that way I know what the PM is referring to, and we can see where it leads us as learning happens.

I run a noob game on Tuesday nights if you're interested. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/3639608/noobling-grotto" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/3639608/noobling-grotto</a> I just launched a West Marches style game as well.

No disrespect meant&nbsp;Anubis, definitely it was the part about not teaching, and that you are looking for something very specific. I don't know enough to have a specific need, and would expect anyone who wants to get involved to be fairly flexible. I didn't really clock your question &gt; I seen D&amp;D was mentioned, does that mean people are only interested in that or are any of you interested in other systems? I'm not looking for a D&amp;D game myself. But yea, it's in the post subject, D&amp;D, at least for me, for now anyway. I don't even know that much yet. 8:17PM (20 hours ago) taibhsear, cool, maybe one of the ppl here would be interested in that, thanks.

Hey is this still open? I'm also a complete noob and I've been looking for a beginner group to learn in! And discord is a really good platform for me

I want to start playing the game aswell and im in the same situation, would love to join if still relevant

I have opening for 1 or 2 players in my every other wednesday night game. 8pm pst Newbies are welcome and encouraged!
