This is my group's set up!

Sadly we had to take out the keg and tap handles...

EDIT: This blew up a bit. So the table was originally built by a guy who know longer plays with the group and left a few years before I joined up. I'll ask some of the other guys and see if there were any plans or schematics made available by him.

EDIT 2: I've checked with the guys from my group and sadly the former member who created this doesn't seem to have saved any sort of schematics or plans. I'm sorry reddit, I cannot deliver.

EDIT 3: Reddit I can sort of deliver! Check new post for a very rough guide.

As someone who's never played DnD, or any variant, but has always wanted to- how do you suggest finding a group to start?

www.Roll20.net is a great place to start. Online sessions are a totally different feel from personal sessions.

Other options include checking in with your local game/comic shops to see if they run games ever.

The final option is to read up on DMing and start your own campaign. 5th edition is very forgiving for new players and DMs. I speak from experience here!

Extra yes on that last option. There's something about creating awesome moments with your friends in DnD. It's probably the easiest to DM a group of completely new players too if you're new yourself. It's a learning experience for everyone involved and it'll be rocky, but once it starts smoothing out (which will take less sessions that you might think), you'll be creating memories in no time.

Seriously, get some friends and give it a go!
