For those looking to get into D&D, check out games that welcome new players on roll20. They have a custom search filter for that.
warfornothing
If there were interest here I'd also gladly run a simple game or two to help newcomers find their footing.
pancreas
I'm an experienced player, but I would join to fill out the party and help move things along/cause shenanigans, if there's interest.
DavidMcclannahan
I'd be happy to join in, I'm pretty new played like 5 times in my one campaign
HQDefault
Never played D&D, but I'd genuinely like to get into it. Though it seems a bit daunting.
talanall
D&D groups usually are nice to newbies. If you can't find a group locally, roll20.net is good. Or play-by-post.
CMDRWELLES
It really isnt. You just need to find a group and start playing.
warfornothing
If you ever feel like taking the plunge, you could always look on roll20 for games welcoming new players.
Achillesdemur53
Good place to start if you think it’s daunting is the most recent 5E, it is very simplified compared to previous editions, especially 3.5
necroheroic
Is pathfinder the same as d&d? Asking for a friend
NautiGal
Basically, Paizo asked nicely to borrow 3.5 and 4.0, took the best bits of both, added a few original bits. What came of that was Pathfinder
FartBubbles
It took what was good about 3.5 and expanded upon it while fixing some of the things that weren’t so great. It’s essentially 3.5 version 2
PTKrieg
Minor mechanical differences, but close. In some ways it was more like D&D than 4th Edition D&D, hence pic #3.
RideTheStimutacs
It's based on 3.5 Edition.
ChibiYui
Yes
pancreas
yes. It's literally just 3.5 edition but slightly different. which, if you're not familiar, is a good reason to stay away.

#35 is why my DM only does point buy now.
Enoan
I respect point buy, but my 18 18 17 14 12 5 lead to a Druid with an int of 5. He could not speak or understand any language.
Enoan
He was a fucking blast to play, as he legit tried to help the party, he just couldn't hear their words. That can't happen with point buy.
dannwyrm
I prefer point buy simply because class disparity only gets worse when the core building blocks of your character are randomized.
NautiGal
It's why all the games i run are point buy, too. That and it prevents ultra-screwed chars
themotherfuckingruckus
Which one's point buy?
mebe21
For DnD 5e, start with 27 and buy stats using this: /a/AePMQ

I really wish I had a group to play with
NautiGal
i run pathfinder via Steam Chat. One of my players is in Sweden, and i'm in Oregon. You don't need a local group if you're determined enough
circlebreaker
Check RPGA / Pathfinder Society, depending on which game you want to find a group for.
Achillesdemur53
If you can’t find a local group I suggest Roll20.net, it’s a community of people like yourself who want to play and don’t have groups 1/
death4665
Thank you I'll get started right now
Achillesdemur53
And it’s a virtually tabletop so you can play with anyone across the world 2/

Doomsday321
Anyone know how to get into a d&d game? I try roll20 and the tangled web but there's so many applications and I don't think I'd ever be
pancreas
Check out your friendly local game shop and see if they run games
Doomsday321
Accepted since I'm pretty rusty at d&d, the last time I played it was 3 years ago
DavidMcclannahan
I'm looking for a group, but would need a dm
talanall
You can also try forums for play-by-post. Slow, but undemanding on scheduling and you always have time to look up rules if you're rusty.
AustralianMusician
3.5 and Pathfinder are easily the best
talanall
I certainly like them the best, but other members of my gaming group have said good things about 5e and even 4e. Different strokes, I guess?
AustralianMusician
I mean, 4e is okay. I can't stand 5e, myself.
MiniatureDwarf
Agreed

Artax failed his save vs. sadness check. Then I failed my save vs. sadness.... I'm not crying! You are!!

TOO SOON
awildcharmander
I hope this conveys the TRUE SEVERITY of rolling a one... most DMs are WAYYYYY too lenient. Should *at least* result in serious injury.
IZ42
So every adventurer has a 5% chance any time they roll something to have some something difficult or impossible to reverse happen to them?
FartBubbles
Not necessarily, there are skill points that get added to the roll but hilarity often insures.
IZ42
I mean automatic ones on saves and attacks are just auto fails regardless of your bonus to them.
FartBubbles
Thats true, we refer to them as snatches as opposed to 20's being natches. We even use a "critical miss" deck of cards for such occasions
PTKrieg
Not every time (no PC should break their arm lifting a pint of ale), but if the roll is preceded with an "are your sure?", then yes.
awildcharmander
Difficult? yes. Impossible to reverse? Depends on the situation.
IZ42
Note the or there. Important word.
ShannonTheSnakeLady
The most delightful thing about being a DM is watching your players fight over pulling levers that do absolutely nothing.
Amesang
Part of me wants to pull a Richard Garriott and have a dungeon room full of children with a hidden (true) lever to free them…
Amesang
…and an obvious (false) lever that drops them into lava.
ShannonTheSnakeLady
That's fucking amazing. Please do that and tell me how it goes xD
ResplendentCassowary
#2 is actually the most obnoxious thing in the world. Please stop playing Belkar Bitterleaf in actual games, thanks.
pancreas
I once joined a Roll20 game where a GM wanted to playtest new PF classes. We ended up solving an encounter with kobolds through diplomacy
pancreas
(2)not sure how I felt, considering it was supposed to be a playtest. But still memorable and fun. Also That Guy died, so that was nice
ResplendentCassowary
I'm glad I'm not trying to find a public group, because these imgur memes are going to produce nothing but I ROLL FOR ATTACK characters.
mineisanevillaugh
3.5 isn’t Daniel Craig. It’s someone handing you all the ingredients for a vodka martini and a pencil and saying “There! Have an adventure.”
circlebreaker
That meme needs to be updated. 5th Ed. has been out for a while now...
rshini
and if you don't wanna play a wizard or cleric, too bad, you twiddle your thumbs while they get all stuff while you get like +1 to hit.
TheBlackWindHowls
Yup. 3E/3.5E fighter is absolute garbage. Pathfinder is beautiful.
Camelspotting
Maybe if you just have the players handbook. A little psionics+feats out the ass and you're murdering everything in no time.
rshini
Pathfinder's still bad about caster Supremcy, honestly 4e was on the right track in giving the melee classes cool shit to do.
Somberbrero
I just need to say, fucking thank you. God. 4e brought so much to the table and no one gave a shit.
TheBlackWindHowls
Wow. Someone besides myself who doesn't irrationally hate everything about 4E?
rshini
It didn't do things perfectly, but oh boy 5e is a massive step backwards compare to 4e
FoeOfFauxPho
Pathfinder buffed all classes, but it buffed wizards even more. D6 hit dice + special ability non-spells, some of which are 80% as good as
talanall
Wizards basically can't take a PrC in Pathfinder, though. You gain CL and spells/day, but no spells added to book. Not a nerf, but it helps.
FoeOfFauxPho
Wizards can learn 2 spells automatically when they gain levels. I don't know what 3.5 was concerning that.
FoeOfFauxPho
magic missile.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Be fair here. Fighter in PF is still garbage. Now Warblade. Those bastards were great.
pancreas
"psionics are overpowered. /ban" -shitty GM
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Don't know why you're downvoted. Anyone who banned psionics for being overpowered without banning wizards, clerics, and druids is an idiot.
Svartlebee
I really hate DM's who ignore the rules. We are meant to be playing the same game and you undermining the core game whenever you feel like
pancreas
found the 3.pf player
Svartlebee
Only played 5e I'm afraid.
Svartlebee
2/ it only engenders mistrust in me. I can't build any kind of character knowing you may flake out on it at a moment's notice.
rshini
if there's a modification of rules, it has to be agreed on as a group as sometimes you need to houserule it.
lext
Not every player feels the way you do. I bend the rules when it will make the game more fun. Besides, they're more guidelines than anything.
Svartlebee
If they're just guidelines then why use them at all? Why bother having attacks and AC or spells. Why not just say the PC's just save
Svartlebee
3/ decided to nerf me mid game. You know, a houserule.
Svartlebee
2/ everything. And please tell Me, how does nerfing a character mid game count as fun? Because my DM couldn't counter me effectively he
LordIggy
I think it's a matter of trust. As long as the DM is consistent with their application (or lack thereof) of the rules as written.
talanall
This. Also, it's nice to know ahead of time if the DM is ignoring/changing a rule. Sucks if you can't plan because the DM's unpredictable.
Svartlebee
I've been nerfed mid game in two separate campaigns by two separate DM's. No homebrew crap, official content and I still got nerfed.
