I want to get into TTRPGs (Cyberpunk 2020, DnD,etc.), but I’m completely clueless as how to navigate the topic.

  • I know I have to find a group of people to play with

  • I don’t have any minis, dice, free table for playing…, would I need to get anything of that? Could Google dices do the trick?

  • How is it played? What is the cycle of a one-shot/adventure/campaign? How does the role-playing happen, taking turns between DM and players? Do the players tell an action their character is doing and the DM says wether it’s allowed, wether they have to roll dice, or tells them what happens next?

    I would recommend watching some videos of actual play for the system to get an idea about what happens during the game. Just note that watching “professional” DND is just watching any professional. You wouldn’t expect your pickup home game of basket to be identical to the NBA so the same with your TTRPG.

    Like all things it helps to watch others. If you find a group they will likely help you out. Just note your experience level and they will be supportive.
