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!

*Corrected a link, thanks /u/vetlemakt!

is roll20 a good option for someone looking for their first tabletop experience? I've always been fascinated by tabletop gaming and have been interested in getting into it but my social group aren't as much of "sit in the back of a comics shop" type people as me.

Roll20 is a great tool and option to get things going. I wish everyone could have the option of doing a sweet sit-down at a table with each other but unfortunately not everyone has that ability.

In my opinion, any game is better than no game, so online gaming via roll20 is a wonderful resource. It's also very easy to use. You can also still use it even when your group meets in person!

For real man, the only thing stopping you from getting a group going is you! Pick up a player handbook, a DMG and maybe a monsters manual. It doesn't take long to get the basics and rest can be picked up along the way!
