Hello, I am brand new to DND. I used the character creator thing to struggle through making a character, but even with that, I am unsure I did it correctly lol. I have been wanting to play DND for many years and finally decided to stop just saying it and actually look into it more. I am hoping to find a group that could meet virtually for ease of access. The issue is 1) I have no clue what I am doing, so I need quite a bit of guidance on how to do things and 2) I have a very limited schedule in that I would really only be available every 3rd Sunday after 6:30 pm CST. I would be very interested in joining a group that is willing to deal with a total newbie such as myself.
I have some experience playing DnD, and lots of virtual experience too. Just like you have been saying for years you want to start playing and are finally ready, I have been saying for years that I want to try being a DM, and am finally ready. How would you feel about doing a 1 shot? I have 2 that I am writing right now, I'm going to be playing them with my friends soon, but I'd love an opportunity to be able to practice, and would be happy to share that story with you and whatever group you can muster.
I would love to try and be part of anything I can to start getting some experience! I don't know that I would be able to muster much of any group as I'm pretty much the only person I know that is interested in playing DND.
Cool, I actually posted my own LFG post for my one-shot, feel free to join https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/join/508964920308385 If you're down, I'd be happy to help you build a character too. I'm looking for a Sunday as well.

Description:
The world is plagued with dragons, necromancers, goblins, monsters, and worst of all, would-be adventuring heroes. Seems to you, if these adventurers would just keep their noses out of mystical business, many of the horrors that have befallen your little village could have been avoided. If only more people could be content with the simple pleasures. A pint of ale, some good music, that's all you need. Why these hot headed adventurers feel the need to swing a sword at everything they see is beyond you, and your friends. That's why you've made a point of meeting every week at the tavern, and drinking away the woes of this mad, mad world.
Is it the hot headed nature of your adventuring peers that perturbs you so, or is it the realization that they have all far surpassed your capabilities? Just because the most talented people in the world all seem to be 10 years younger than you, doesn't mean you couldn't have done the same thing if you had felt like it, does it? The distinction does seem a bit blurry, but one thing is certain. You and your friends are no match for any of the monsters you've heard such extravagant tales about. You all hold menial jobs, if that, and even still struggle to be respected in your fields, facing ridicule from your own co-workers.
Really, it doesn't matter to you. As long as you can end each week in good company, and with good drink, this life is all the fulfilment you need. Better to wallow in self pity, than to have your flesh burned off by a dragon. You know everyone in the local tavern, many scoff at your recurring presence, but the bar-maids are kind enough, at least when you have the coin to tip them. Tonight, you all meet up at the end of the day to eat, drink, and be merry, but a table of mysterious figures in the corner has you uneasy. Yours is a small little hamlet, and visitors are entirely uncommon, especially visitors with such finely crafted garbs and gear. You know almost every face that walks your streets, but today you see 4 unfamiliar faces, cloaked in the shadows.
*All characters should be built at level 4 - point buy for abilities. You may pick any background that is not a position of privilege, but know that you are all essentially bums, or just one step above a bum. No races should be picked that you would not expect to find in a backwater tavern of a small village, so no fairies, no genasi, etc. If you pick "soldier" as a background, it means you were a soldier, but were so bad at it that you were dishonorably released from military service. If you were a scholar, you were not a very good one, and none of your various studies have garnered any recognition. If you are a monk, you are the monk that the rest of the monks send out to dig the latrines. If you are a druid, the rest of your circle regularly has you cleaning up after the livestock. Perhaps a drunken town brawler who just couldn't cut it as a gladiator in the big city. etc. etc. Our story opens on 4 remarkably unremarkable individuals.*
Hey, I'm also new - I've played in campaigns for different rpgs only a couple times, but never DnD. I've watched streams so I have the gist of it, but due to my weird schedule it's hard to commit to a weekly time. So, I've decided to look for one-shots to play.
If you two run a one-shot, I'd love to be included if I'm able on the day you plan.
