I think it's fun hearing people talk about it but I think it'd be even better playing it for once :p Can anyone direct me to an online game of D&D,if possible? Maybe even a how to guide? I just want to bookmark so I have something to go back on. On top of what Shawn said above me:

First of all, I suggest you check out these two links:

[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFN3lenUT-LVL3SMvn-z7Vg A youtube channel about tabletop gaming, including D&D. It is great fun and offers some great advice too.]

[http://www.pathguy.com/ddnext.htm This will help you create your character. Basic knowledge of character creation need.]

Also, I suggest you get the Rule Book (it's a free download) and give it a quick look. Don't bother with the details, just skim through it to get the basic gist of a game.

Don't forget to google search any questions you have.

That's for the technical knowledge. Again, not absolutely necessary, but kinda needed if you're starting out.

Now to the playing part. I suggest you find some like-minded people with similar interests. If no friend of yours is interested in that kind of stuff you can search for roleplaying groups in your area (using the powers of the internet, of course). Usually you'll find something, especially if you live in a big city.
