I'm new to D&D with little to no experience and want to get into the game for the first time.  I'm looking for a beginner friendly group with a focus on teaching new players.  My preferred group size is 4 people (age 21+).  I might be convinced to attempt 5, but 6+ is too many.  I also think I would benefit from a more experienced DM who would be capable of pulling me along as I learn.  As for setting, something in the realm of epic fantasy is ideal, but I would be open to anything as long as it's not comedic or silly.  I wouldn't be a fit for those types of games.  I'm also seeking something on a weekly basis because my focus, interest and recollection suffers with longer breaks.  Additionally, I have no interest in paid games or games which are already in progress due to my lack of experience.  Otherwise, I'm fairly flexible and would be open to discussing any other details in DMs.
