If you're a brand new D and D player and
0:02
you're looking to get into your first
0:03
game, you've got tons of options for
0:05
where to find that first game. My
0:08
favorite option would be to look for
0:09
your friendly local game store.
0:11
Sometimes if you're in a small town, it
0:13
will be a combination game and comic
0:15
shop. So, look for those as well. But
0:17
basically, anywhere that sells Magic the
0:19
Gathering will probably have D&D as
0:21
well. And those places very frequently
0:24
run game nights, especially organized
0:26
play. organized play. Adventurers League
0:29
for D and D specifically is built for
0:31
drop in dropout gameplay. So frequently
0:34
you can find games that way, but they
0:35
may also just have running campaigns or
0:38
they may have game nights where they
0:39
teach people how to play. In my
0:41
experience, local game stores are very
0:43
enthusiastic about getting new people
0:45
into the hobby because it means new
0:46
customers for them. You know, more
0:48
people to play with, more people to buy
0:50
their stuff, everybody wins. That's
0:52
fantastic. If you don't have a game shop
0:54
near you, more likely you're going to
0:56
have to organize something yourself or
0:58
you're going to have to look online. If
1:00
you want to organize a game, if you want
1:02
to organize a game yourself, grab some
1:04
friends who are curious. Grab the
1:05
starter set for D and D. The 2024
1:08
edition is fine. The story is not great,
1:10
but the gameplay is pretty solid. If
1:12
you're willing to look online, there's
1:13
all kinds of LFG forums. Uh Roll 20 has
1:16
a forum that's pretty good. Uh Reddits
1:18
are LFG exists. Demilane has an LFG
1:22
section, but that always comes with the
1:24
usual risks of meeting up with random
1:26
strangers online and talking to them and
1:28
all of that. So, you know, your mileage
1:30
may vary. If you're willing to pay to
1:32
play, then start playing. Is a great
1:35
service for finding paid GMs. Paid games
1:37
tend to last a very long time because
1:39
once people are financially invested,
1:41
they're more likely to actually show up.
1:43
Um, a lot of the DMs are really, really
1:45
good and there are people running
1:47
beginner friendly games all the time.
1:49
So, it's very easy to find something
1:51
that fits whatever availability you
1:53
have. Whatever way you end up going,
1:55
welcome to the hobby. I hope you find a
1:57
game and I hope you have a great time
1:58
with it. And I hope you stay in the
2:00
hobby for
