Looking for a Group (Newbie Friendly)

I just decided to get into D&D a couple weeks ago after years of contemplating. I'm looking for a group to join for a one shot or short campaign for my first adventure. I have decent availability mainly in the evenings after 7 CST on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I'm hoping to find a newbie friendly group who won't mind questions and possible awkwardness as I've never done a TT game before other than MTG. I have played around with character creation, and I have one baby I think is a solid starting point. Aelynn, a young wood elf wizard with her Familiar weasel Thistle. If anyone has room and open to a newbie, my discord is "Thetwerkingdead"

Hey there! Ive been running games for a long time. I love having new players, I actually prefer it. I tried adding you over discord but it said youre not accepting incoming requests. My name is pandawarlord91. I will add you to my server. Its filled with alot of new players who are not only learning the game but learning how to run games as well. The door is open to you as well! 

Are you still scraping a group together?

Hello!  My name is Leland, professional DM with over 25 years experience.  I am currently recruiting for a paid game on Tuesday evenings that is a guided introduction to 5e (using the 2024 ruleset) We have one player already and need just 2 more to start.  This is a mini campaign where there will be the option to continue on to the published campaign Curse of Strahd.  It begins with a character creation session 0 where we go over in detail the process of building your character and introducing you to the rules as well as the virtual tabletop Foundry.  It then will span a few sessions of "Death House" where the characters are investigating a mysterious mansion in order to help a pair of children rescue their baby brother from a monster!  This mini campaign will contain connections to the larger story and after we will discuss if you would like to continue.  I have a long history of introducing folks to the hobby so if you are interested please reach out to me on Discord at lelandpalmer
