#1 drgofx May 02, 2012 12:35:08	So I'm new to the DnD Tabletop and I was looking for some insight. For starters, my only experience with the game is its MMO counterpart, where I played a Halfling Rogue and a Warforged Paladin. Aside from that, I am very inexperienced. I have never really had any people near me interested in DnD, let alone play it, and since I'm heading to a community college next year, I was hoping this would be a good oppertunity to get into Dungeons and Dragons. I'm a big RPG fan and I think this would get me a bit more into the actual Roleplaying part of it without as many restrictions. [Or so I've heard...] So could anyone try and point me to a guide on how to play? Or recommend which edition I should start with? From my experiences with the MMO, I'm fairly familiar with 3.5, or as much as of it as the MMO has.

The OTT is not for D&D trolling, but it is for non-D&D trolling. If you want to troll about something other than D&D, then feel free to make a thread here.

Unless we have different definitions of trolling, I'm not trolling. I'm just looking for advice. Secondly, what part of the forum should I go to for advice on starting D&D? I didn't really see anything, so I assumed Off-Topic would be the safest place, I assumed wrong.

#9 drgofx May 02, 2012 14:07:34	Try here... community.wizards.com/go/forum/view/7588... or here community.wizards.com/go/forum/view/7588... I guess new players aren't that common. I passed by there, but I saw that as more of where experienced players got advice on their own plays, not where new players go. My over thinking got the better of me. Sorry about that.

Its not that, its just that we've had 'newbies' come in here before and start trouble only to turn out to be a sock puppet for someone else. Also the forums are not exactly the most friendly place. I don't know why though (what? why are you looking at me like that Zombie_babies?) Your best bet is just to find a group and tell them you are new to the game, they'll take it from there and indoctrinate...uh I mean teach you how to play the game...
