I’ve used roll20.net up until now. They have a find group feature and a virtual table top with character sheets and dice roller included, so everything you need to play virtually is all on the one site.

There are plenty of D&D software programs out there that are free and paid versions. Many of them with the ability to have friends join and interact with the table. As basic as Tabletop Simulator to Fantasy Grounds (both on steam that I have experience with, not an endorsement). roll20.net being a popular browser based version.

I have made a character on roll20.net that maybe border line iffy/OP, so I may have to make one that’s not. My free time can be a bit unusual at times(it’s 12:24AM as I write this)so someone who has similar free times as I do(if your interested let me know and we can talk times), basicly I’ve been listening to a DnD podcast and I think it sounds fun and I want to try it out
Edit: I’m in PST timezone in…

If you’d like to dip your toe virtually, I suggest trying roll20.net. It’s an online browser-based client for tabletop gaming that’s basically like having a Zoom meeting but with a screen to share character sheets, maps, etc. The site has a search feature for public games, and you’re very likely to find some new-player friendly games.

Otherwise I’d recommend grabbing the Starter Set and running Mines of Phandelver, possibly on roll20.net if you can’t find IRL players.

You can play online no problems, you can use a tool like roll 20 or just hand out in a discord call if you prefer. Also, I disagree about the books, don’t buy them without having tried the game, download the basic rules instead. Starting with two people is fine, but if you both enjoy it, I’d definitely recommend finding more players, it’s more fun that way. Don’t feel pressured to start with a full campaign right…

Like shmuelr says, check out locally for game shops, hobby stores, even the library may have some information. Bookstores (if they still exist) can be checked out. Then, besides reddit’s many communities, search on facebook for groups. Just be specific with what edition you are intending to find. I run an in-person ad&d group so that is really specific, lol. Besides facebook, also check meetup.com and even…

Also, I understand that there is a LFG forum on roll20.net. The roll20.net CP2020 support is not bad, so if you can find a group, you should be able to join. Just remember when playing with randos on the internet, you will have to deal with some people that have no social skills and people spurred on to act out by their anonymity But once you find a good group, it is like gold…

I made an account on roll20.net but I don’t really know how to start a campaign or what campaigns should we even play as a beginner group.

You can also check out playing online, on roll20.net you can find groups to play with just by signing up. Then it’s much like online gaming where you set a time to all meet up virtually.

Friends of mine have lots of experience in 2e and 1e, and as a VTT we always used roll20, which is compatible with both systems. Unfortunately, I do not really know Foundry, but afaik roll20 ist also a bit more complex to use in terms of many different spells and attacks.
I would suggest that you just create a small example campaign on roll20.net and play a bit around with the character sheets.
If that looks…

Furthermore, I have recently come across roll20.net and might attempt to get a classroom into it vs pen & paper. Cheers.

Then /the day/ happened. Honestly this day thinking back gets me really worked up because it marked a forever shift in my life. February 10th, 2023, a Friday. I play D&D with my closest friends almost every week, and they’ve been my best friends since we were in high school so that’s well over a decade. I was having a really bad migraine in the early afternoon so I went to lay down for a nap because I was so…
