My friend and I just created characters and want to start a campaign. How do we go about this? Do we need more people or can we play with strangers? Do we need a DM to start a campaign or can we start it on our own? The app tells us we need a link but we don’t know how to get one.
Good morning. Saw the title so just wanted to give my perspective.
It is possible for one of you to be the DM and run a game with just you two. The DND Beyond is a way to build and group your characters but is not really needed to play the game. There are games out there (might have to do an online search) for a small type of adventure, so look for the solo adventure game and try it with both of you. Otherwise, one plays as the DM and tries that. There should be some possibilities for those types as well.
However, if you both want to play, you are on the right track and look for an existing group. Try the local game stores to see if they have a posting board where DMs will also look for players. This type of post works well buts it's like fishing: you get only as good as people willing to find this thread. Look for a posting that has the LFP tag and see if their info matches what you are interested in.
Good luck with your search, I am sure it will be successful soon.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely look into local groups, and I’ve already gotten some feedback/offers on here, it’s nice to see this is an active community with actual people lol.

What time zone are you in? Availability? That might help you get more responses. Best of luck
