Hello My name is bell and i am 28 years old i am a total noob in this game type but would really like to learn. To be honest i have no clue what i'm doing, only that it seems and sounds really fun. So i guess i would like some beginners tips or advise on were to start. thanks
Hi Bell, Welcome to the hobby. Finding a decent game on roll20 can be pretty tough as a newbie. Filling out your profile fully might help with your chances, as it's one of the few places dungeon masters can get information about you as a player. You can also opt-in to have your profile in the player directory, so that DMs can find your profile and see you are searching for a game. If you make a Looking For Game post on the forum, it is useful to mention your timezone and the times/dates you will be available to play. The best way to get into a game though is probably to search for a game via the LFG tool&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/</a> &nbsp;and put in an application for games that you like the sound of.&nbsp; As a newbie your best bet is to look for one-shots that accept new players, or join a Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign, which is a great adventure module for introducing new players to D&amp;D. Wizards of the Coast have made the basic rules for D&amp;D 5E free, so you can try it out without investing any money:&nbsp; <a href="https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop/players-basic-rules" rel="nofollow">https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop/players-basic-rules</a> &nbsp;- It might be worth having a read of the introduction section if you've never played a tabletop rpg before.&nbsp; Here is a link to a youtube video from WebDM explaining D&amp;D for a beginner (starts 10 minutes in)&nbsp; <a href="https://youtu.be/9eDqH-BAzXM?t=601" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/9eDqH-BAzXM?t=601</a> If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
