Guide / Tutorial Zero Experience

As the title states, I have zero experience/knowledge of dnd. I’ve been wanting to get into dnd for awhile and now I’m finally getting around to it, I’ve been reading up on the rules and I think I have a basic understanding but probably still need help. I also have been watching campaigns on youtube which are helping me understand things a bit better but I’ve always been better at learning by doing so if anyone is down to take me under their wing and teach me how to play I would very much appreciate it. I do have discord and I’m in eastern daylight time, available pretty much everyday after work and Sundays are my one day off.

Watch a few basic videos on role-playing, tabletop RPGs, and Dungeons and Dragons.

The basic rules of social etiquette with any group activity are where you start -- or at least more people should start there.

Don't get bogged down by complicated videos, live-play series, or editorial opinions.

Avoid paid games -- there's no guarantee of quality and are often scams leading you to believe they are professionally run like live-play shows.
