Brand New Player-Never played D&D, hopeful for a teaching group to get feet wet (US, EDT)

Game: D&D 5e
Group preferred: Either
Experience: New (Never played, need to create character-hopeful for teaching group or DM)
Location/Timezone: US EDT
Availability: Flexible, most evenings
Preferred role: Player
Game style: Flexible.  Somewhere inbetween casual and hardcore.  I love my RPGs.  Love board games like Arkham Horror and Betrayal at the House on the Hill and the like.  D&D has always been something I'd like to play.  Never had a group.  Also was nervous being a new player who'd not played it before.  Crossing fingers I can find one and get a little out of my comfort zone, make new friends, have a good time, and find an ongoing RPG to sink my teeth into. 

Heya, I'm new to D&D as well and love having new players like myself looking for a group, I'm a DM most of the time. If you like message me over at 

⇢˚⋆ ✎ ˎˊ- "PokeBerry"#5024 (Include the little marks before) on discord if you are interested in playing heh!

Im new I would like to join

Gandalf are you still looking for a game?

Hey gandalf, let me know if your still looking for a group and ill send you my disc!

I am.  I'm hoping to find an ongoing group that plays regularly. Hopfully willing to work with a newb.  Go through the character creation, etc. 

What is your group like, how often do you play, etc?
