Starting off as new player

Hello everybody, I'm trying to get started in this community. I've played DnD a few times in person but those groups have fallen apart. I'd like to get involved in a group again but I'm not really experienced enough to make my own character sheet. Does anyone have advice? Are there any walk throughs or guides to help me? Or anyone just willing to bring me into their group to coach me? I apologize if this is the wrong board to post this in, still figuring things out. Thanks, Daniel

Thanks for the advice, I've done just that. I'm interested in DnD and it's different versions so I've messaged a few groups in the hopes one might be willing to bring me up to speed. I'm not dead set on that though. I'm really open to any game type it's just that DnD is the only varient i'm even slightly familiar with.

Hey man! id recommend you to start with D&D 4e' the system is much easier then say 3,5 for new players. Just as Kristin said look for games that are "noob friendly" Usualy the gm's and players will be more then happy to help new people out! Good luck to you :)

Every now and then (mostly on weekends), some people do one offs (one-time games) and most that I've seen are noob friendly. I never played RP games until a couple weeks ago, and I was able to find the group I'm with that way.

And these one time games that are noob friendly, they help you make your character sheet? I hadn't really looked at any one time games because I figured I wanted to get involved in a more regular group but I suppose that might be a good way to break into the community.

The ones i found did.
