Newbies first game
Hi all.
So as the title said, I'm totally new to DnD.
Well the tabletop version at least. I've played Neverwinter Nights/Baldurs Gate and a few others like those.
I get the gist behind DnD stuff but would love to find a beginners game if anyone knows where I can find one. I heard it's possible to do a match over skype whilst using roll20 or something like that. I did try to join a game a while ago but setting it up was a nightmare what with timezones and the two week wait for a match.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksLast edited by DrStupid87; 2014-10-09 at 10:49 AM.

Have you tried your local game store for buddies to play with?

So much this. Many areas with a rich tabletop gaming community will have game stores at which they congregate. Many of these groups will have ongoing games, as well as running tutorial-style games to introduce new players.
Another option is to find a local gaming group on a social website (like MeetUp). Same rules apply - many such groups will offer tutorial-style games to get new players into the mechanics and setting.My headache medicine has a little "Ex" inscribed on the pill. It's not a brand name; it's an indicator that it works inside an Anti-Magic Field.
Blue text means sarcasm. Purple text means evil. White text is invisible.
My signature got too big for its britches. So now it's over here!

Re: Newbies first game
Many people multi-class between Warhammer and DnD. If you are polite, I doubt they'll mind you asking, and might even point you in the right direction. If you don't care for setting, you might even be able to adapt DnD for a Warhammer inspired setting, or play a Warhammer RPG. I've heard of Dark Heresy, so I would not be surprised if there was a Warhammer fantasy version.
By the way, are you perhaps in England?

Re: Newbies first game
What about asking people at work/school if they're willing to join your for tabletop D&D?
