#1 kungfulion Nov 02, 2014 15:41:50	Hi! A friend of mine started dating a D&D player and I got interested in it, I love just about any game with an element of fantasy and I'd like to give it a try. How can I find a group nearby my college to play at? I'd like to play with the friend but they're hours away. I'm currently attending Radford Universtiy

Any local gaming store that sells card games or tabletop RPG manuals and minis usually hold or host DND groups as well, and would be a good place to start looking.

It's gotten a decent response from some new folks and some Dungeon Masters.    Mostly it boils down to engaging with the campaign setting/world, going out and adventuring, and making sure you have an answer when the. DM asks "What do you do?"   Give it a look.
